It’s September 1st, and all the students and staff are back from their summer vacations. Many of our students spent time overseas this summer, with Grade 7 going to AIC in New Zealand and some Grade 8 students did a home stay in England and Canada. Many staff traveled overseas as well. Some accompanied the 7th graders to New Zealand, but many international staff visited their home countries as well – Australia, Canada, England, India, Mauritius, New Zealand, the Philippines, and the USA. Now, everyone is back and sharing stories about their summer activities. We’re particularly excited about the stories we’ll be hearing – in English – from our Grade 7 students.

We had a student assembly during first period, and certificates were given to students who excelled in sporting events and calligraphy over the summer. Maybe they’ll be ready for the 2012 Summer Olympics… well, calligraphy isn’t an Olympic sport – but it should be!
