If you haven’t purchased your tickets for the upcoming Musical Theatre production of Disney’s DESCENDANTS, what are you waiting for? Our weekend matinees are now sold out and our evening shows each have around 50 tickets left! Tickets are on sale through the Performing Arts webpage here, using the QR code on the posters around the school or at the main office. We are very excited to bring this show to Stelly’s!
The Peninsula Review did a story on the upcoming Musical Theatre performance which we are very proud of. The whole article is available to read here.
Book club will meet in the Learning Commons today at lunch.
You may have noticed that we have some new recycling stations around the school. Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the new receptacles prior to depositing your trash as you may be able to recycle what’s in your hands. Thank you for your cooperation & patience as we learn how to properly use the new system.
This Friday, January 9th, is your last day to drop semester 1 courses. You must complete a blue course drop form, which are available in the counselling office or career centre. They must be returned to the career centre by Friday at the latest.
