Thanks to SRC President Greg Robinson and to members of the SRC Executive and to Faculty Advisors Ms. Katherine Branscombe and Mrs. Rebecca Thompson for an exciting “Welcome Back” assembly. You could feel the school spirit!
Thanks to all parents who attended our Meet the Teacher / PSSC Information evening on Tuesday, September 12. It was wonderful to see many familiar faces and also wonderful to meet many parents and guardians of the latest members of the STM family – the grade 9 students, members of the Class of 2021.
I would like to emphasize with students and parents again that regular attendance and being on time for class is very important and is very much connected with student success.
