PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
The end of one semester and the beginning
of another is a time of transitions. We extend our congratulations to our
students who have completed their diploma requirements and are heading off
to post secondary programs and the work force. Congratulations also to all
of our students who worked so diligently in preparation for their examinations.
We are very proud of your efforts!
Our Vice Principal, Judith Hanz retired

spending time with family and friends and getting out on her new snowmobile.
We wish her a happy retirement. Special welcome to Karl Wunderlich, our new
