The School Forum is a chance for parents and faculty to hear what is discussed at monthly School Council meetings.

Kelly Fyfe briefed us on what it means to be a "21st Century School". Lastly, there was a question and answer period, where questions and concerns were raised. The follow-up on these have been assigned to the appropriate sub-committee of the School Council.
