🧤🎊 February 2019 🎉🧣

Happy New Year! - Time Management Reloaded. 

This month, Grade 10 students will look back to reflect Semester 1 reports and analyze ways they can best navigate their educational journey. Whether it be noting methods that they found particularly successful or trying out new learning strategies, students will get the opportunity to learn from one another on what works best and pinpoint common themes that may have limited their success. In Seminar, we will have the opportunity to join interactive sessions where students will question, reflect, consider PSAT results and move forward to make realistic, challenging and impactful goals to reach their own personal destinations...wherever it may be!
