As we enter the final month of the year, our school celebrates a new milestone. It is with
mixed emotions that we say good bye to our first class of grade 9 students.
They have come to us at various times in their educational journey. Some of them have
been here since day one of our school opening, others only since September. No matter
when they arrived, all of these students will leave a lasting impression on our school and
our hearts.
The grades 9’s have proven themselves to be a group that cares deeply about each other

and those around them. Although they have their moments, they truly enjoy each other’s
company. They have a great spirit about them and it is evident when you see them interacting in the halls.

For every ending, there's a new beginning;
for every memory, there's a dream ahead.
The happy times we’ve had so far, the people we have met
Will always be a part of life, we will never quite forget...
But ever better, brighter days, are waiting just for us,
So dream your dreams...and start it now
To make them all come true
