School Life
The calendar is dotted with events ranging from game and movie nights to outdoor picnics, a blockbuster Christmas bazaar, sports days and ski trips, talent shows, excursions, school dances, concerts, and an eagerly awaited annual study trip to Germany in Grade 8.
Events and field trips provide opportunities for students to learn more about a specific subject covered in class. Other excursions have a team building and character-development dimension. All serve, at some level, to develop in the students a deeper understanding about themselves, their role in society, and the world we live in.
