Grade-level Assemblies, Grade 8 and Grade 11
Students in Grade 8 had a chance to be a part of a student-led assembly, envisioned and put into action by members of the 8.2 team, which looked at a case study they were interested in, namely, cafeteria prices. They did meticulous research, and with the support of the school’s Business Manager, ran an excellent presentation, with some great outcomes. We are glad to see ATL skills in action!
With PSAT scores out, students in Grade 11 will have an opportunity to hear how this diagnostic tool is used when assessing current skillset, and planning for future success. The assembly in scheduled for Nov 24, 2025 (FLEX). A partner session/workshop will be held for Grade 11 parents/families, on Nov 25, 2025(5-6pm). For now save the date, and we’ll share a sign-up form soon.
