Principal's Tea, parent workshops, and report cards

We are excited to offer two parent workshops on the morning of Thursday, April 17. These workshops are a fantastic opportunity for parents to engage and learn from LifePlus staff. Please join us for one - or both - sessions while you wait for your child to be dismissed!

This year, we're transforming our STEM Expo into a vibrant STEAM celebration! Our STEAM Expo promises to be an exciting fusion of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.

On Friday, April 25 from 13:00-15:00, the event will take place across the Academic Building, spanning from the second to the third floor. Parents of Grade 5 students are invited to join us, providing them with an opportunity to explore their child's Science Fair projects firsthand. The highlight will be our Secondary students leading various stations, making it a dynamic and collaborative experience.
