The Talent Show displayed the talents of teachers and students from both Upper and Lower Secondary Divisions and featured a wide variety of acts including singing, dancing, rhythmic gymnastics, and art, to name but a few.  

The House Leaders after school professional development with the counseling department. The Heads of House, along with the Counseling Department, planned and conducted an after school professional development session that was aimed at promoting the emotional and physical well being of teachers that included interactive activities and fun games such as a competitive scavenger hunt. The Heads of House thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to, for the first time ever, collaborate with the Counseling Department.
