Outdoor Days
As the weather improves, we will be trying our
best to take our students outside for lunch play
time. We ask parents to make sure your children
are dressed appropriately for the weather. On outside days, all students will be going outside. If
there is a medical reason why your child can not
go outside, we are requesting that parents send a
note.
Wishing all the students and families of Carbonear Academy a
safe, happy, healthy summer vacation. We will look forward to
seeing you all return in the Fall. To our grade eight students
we wish you all good things at Carbonear Collegiate.
