This is acommitment that requires the input and involvement of everymember of our school community. The sense of communityand family is something that everyone who enters ourbuilding will notice.2. We believe that every student should find activities thatenrich and  inspire them. That is why our teachers havepartnered with Shakespeare in the Classroom, Scientists inthe School and why our students visit the Harbour FrontCentre, Montreal, and Kearney Outdour Education Centrefor overnight trips.
