By the time you read this, most of our high school students will have completed their final examinations, our Grade 8s will be planning their pre-graduation rituals and our junior kindergarten to Grade 7 students will be preparing for their final assemblies.

The last day of school is a bittersweet time. Teachers say good-bye to their students knowing that their charges will be moving on to another grade next year when another teacher will become the “best teacher I ever had” come September. Our Grade 8 students celebrate with each other on their graduation night and then have a tearful good-bye at the end of their dance. Students and staff alike say good-bye to our Grade 12 students as they begin the next journey of their academic careers.

We hope to see many of you over the next 24 hours so please say “good-bye” to us if you have the opportunity. We will have one final weekly update next week so I will save my good-bye until then.
