Please try to have these to us by Thursday of this coming week. If you are planning to move schools and are staying within the CBE, please contact the office so that we can support with the necessary documents and guidance.
Student Lunches and Snacks
Please remember to send a good lunch and healthy snack to school with your child. If you are needing assistance with lunches or snacks, please let us know. We have the ability to support families who require this kind of support.

Please note, volunteering in individual classrooms is an independent teacher decision and is based on need for the support. There are many other ways to volunteer in the school. Please contact the office to find out more.

Our next Fun Lunch day is May 8. It is Opa.
Our next Spirit Day is Thursday, May 8. It is Favourite Colour Day! Students are invited to dress up in their favourite colour from head to toe (if desired)! It will be so cool to see all of the colours of the rainbow displayed. I am so curious to see what colour is the most favourite among our students and staff.
Weekly Mantra
Make Room for What You Love.
(SEL Competency – Relationship Skills & IELLF – Mind Domain)
Making room for what you love means focusing on the things that make you happy and clearing out anything that doesn’t. If you spend too much time on things that don’t matter, you won’t have enough time for what makes you feel joyful. So, make space for what really makes your heart smile!
