GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS
Just a reminder of the Wallace Drive closure that is scheduled beginning Monday March 10th at 6:00am. They will be working on Wallace Drive between Stelly’s Cross Rd and West Saanich Rd with a full road closure as well as no access to Willow Way Trail. Please note that traffic will be heavier along Stelly’s Cross Road next week, so please allow yourself extra time to navigate it during the busier mornings and afternoons.
The lost and found tables are all set up in the main foyer! We are asking all students to please come and have a look through the items and take home your missing water bottle, hoody, binder (or anything else you may have lost). All items not claimed will be donated on March 14th.
We still have some outstanding course selection forms which were due last Friday. If you have not yet turned yours in, please come to the career centre to drop it off.
The FREE Clothing Rack has added some new items! See something you like? Take it and wear it. If you have some clothes to donate, please drop them off to Mrs. Vop or the Textiles room.
