LC & CAFE no longer available for Grade 6 students for lunch

We’ve noticed some ongoing issues in the LC & Café space, including loud noise and rubbish being left behind. Because of this, starting immediately, the LC & Café will no longer be available for Grade 6 students.

We know this space has been a popular spot, but it’s important that all shared areas are respected and kept clean for everyone to enjoy. We hope this serves as a reminder about the importance of responsibility and respect in our community.

Middle School Assemblies and Student Performances

Do you have a passion for performance? We're looking for students or groups of students who would be interested in performing during the middle school assemblies throughout the school year.

This could be a chance for you to show off something that you've been working on. It could be a solo performance or a group performance. Ideas could be a song, a dance, a skit, or anything up on the stage. We'd love to see what you can do!

If you are interested, please see/email Mr. Chip and/or Mr. Spencer.

Peer pressure is when people your age try to influence what you do, say, or think. Sometimes it can be positive (like when friends encourage you to study or try a new sport) but other times it can push you to make choices you don’t feel good about. The downside of peer pressure is that it can make you act in ways that don’t match who you really are. You might go along with something just to fit in, even if it feels wrong and that can leave you feeling stressed or disappointed in yourself.

You can recognize peer pressure when you feel uncomfortable, unsure, or hear phrases like “everyone’s doing it” or “don’t be boring.” That’s a sign someone might be trying to push you.

To handle it, trust your gut and stand by your values. It’s okay to say “no” - real friends will respect your choices. Spend time with people who make you feel confident being yourself, and if you ever feel stuck, talk to a teacher, counselor, or parent who can help.

Remember, being true to yourself is always the strongest choice.
