New notices in red   

1. Global Citizenship Week Photos. For photo updates please follow us on facebook or instagram and check out the stories - we will post stories when we have photos, but they only last 24 hours!

2. Grades 6 and 7 Trip. Students were all exhausted after a full day which included canoeing for G7 and an exploration hike for G6. Evening activities kept them busy at the moment with giant snakes and ladders currently happening. Tired and happy second day.

3. Grade 8 Trip.  We had an incredible day of adventure and relaxation! Our early start took us via train over the iconic "Harry Potter" Glenfinnan Viaduct on our way to Morar. The famously pristine white beach was so clean our planned tidy-up wasn't even needed! In the afternoon, we moved on to Fort William for some challenging indoor wall climbing and a spot of retail therapy. Everyone enjoyed a well-deserved, quiet evening with board games and mindful coloring to wind down.

4. Grades 9 to 11 London Trip. A tour of Parliament including the House of Lords and Commons. Lunch at Borough Market and tonight is Hamilton. No kids lost.

5. Grades 9 to 11 Belfast Trip. After a day of travel, we were all eager to explore the history and culture of Belfast. We visited the site of much of the Irish Troubles, including the Falls and Shankill Roads and the peace wall between them. We all were then captivated by the story of the Titanic at the Titanic Experience. The students then got to play a round of Laser Tag and tested each other’s wits in the Prison Island Escape Room.

6. Grades 9 to 11 Norway Trip. After a team photo at the impressive Three Swords monument, we began our hike into the beautiful Hunnedalen valley. The students tackled their first taste of rugged Norwegian trails with great resilience and learned about allemannsretten, the right to roam, while completing conservation tasks at the cabin

7. Grades 9 to 11 Spanish Trip. A busy morning of Spanish lessons followed by a walking tour of the city, tote bag painting and games on the beach has kept everyone busy today. After such a late finish yesterday, everyone is shattered and ready for an early night. The day was super. 

8. Grades to 9 to 11 French Trip. The weather has been splendid with a beautiful blue sky. After a few hours of French classes, we had a wonderful guided visit of Montpellier and then headed to the beach and had a swim in the Mediterranean Sea. We also played beach ball games. It’s been an exhausting day and we discovered a beautiful city!

9. Grade 12 Amsterdam Trip. Yesterday, we successfully embarked and arrived safely in Amsterdam in the evening, making our way to a meal before checking in.  The students are tired and excited, ready to explore today.
