Dear parents and students, hello and greetings!
We are happy in Secondary English Language Program to share our latest Student of the Month nominations with you. During April we had Open House and our students put in a lot of effort preparing their drama performances that they showcased to visiting parents. Groups in each English language class had to write and perform an original play based on their class topic. For Grade 7 the topic was Natural Disasters and Grade 8 focused on Famous Inventors and Inventions. Well done to everyone that got their teacher’s recommendation this month. Teachers selected someone who showed great teamwork and leadership guiding their classmates. Well done to all the nominees and everyone that worked very hard for their performances!
