Week Thirty Three - June 13th, 2025
Dear Primary Families,
It has been such a joy to welcome everyone back to school this week after the midterm break. The energy around campus has been so positive—our students returned refreshed, excited, and ready to learn. It’s been a wonderful week of learning.
As we approach the end of the year we are focused on reflecting on our learning journey through this academic year and in looking forward to what lies ahead in the next grade level! Students are getting excited about Step Up Day, which will take place for most students on June 25 and for G5 students on
Looking ahead there are a few reminders:
Primary Sports Awards – We’re looking forward to recognising our incredible athletes and celebrating their teamwork, perseverance, and commitment throughout the year.
Grade 5 PYP Completion Ceremony (Friday) – This is a very special milestone for our Grade 5 students as they complete their PYP journey. We’re so proud of everything they’ve achieved and can’t wait to celebrate their growth as learners and leaders.
The last day of school for students is Wednesday, July 2nd.
Optional Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTCs) will take place on Thursday, July 3. Teachers will be available to answer any questions. More details about PTCs will be shared closer to the date.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I’m so proud of our students and all they have accomplished this year—we look forward to celebrating together next week!
Warm regards,
Sarah McLean
