Principal's Update
Dear Colleagues,
Let's hang in there. We are near the end of the school year, and it will not be unusual to feel anxious about many things we need to complete. But do take some time to pause and centre yourself again, and if you need help, do reach out to others for help.
I'm happy to share with you that the staff room progress is finally back on track, and if all goes well, we should be able to move in by week 10. We are also starting the OCA process, and I'm glad there are so many deserving nominations. But this means that you would need to spend some time to read through the nominations and put in your votes.
In case we feel overwhelmed and about to lose our balance, I thought I'd share a quote of the week:
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
