Shout out!

This week we have a dozen grade 11 and 12 students taking part in an international Model United Nations in Australia (Remotely of course). A shout out to those students and Lorraine for keeping this going even during this very unusual year!

Also a big shout out to ALL Teachers for getting the Report Cards in and making it to the Final Stretch of the year!

A reminder of Grade Boundaries:

Grade Boundaries

If a student is one point below the next level up, please average them up for the final grade.

For example, if they have a 92, average it to a 93.

We are confident of the due diligence that has been put into communication with students and parents. If the final piece of the grade boundaries is in place, we will be able to firmly stand behind the Q3 grades, and more importantly, it will make for better parent-teacher conferences for YOU! The Teacher!.
