This week we were able to host a number of webinars and meetings for our students outside of their ‘regular’ classes. Tuesday after the long weekend saw our student council elections take place for students currently in Grades 9-11. I was very impressed with the quality of candidates and their ‘campaign speeches’ that they shared in those webinars with their peers. We look forward to finding out the results of the elections early next week and then announcing the new student council leaders for the 2020/21 academic year. Congratulations to all students who ran for these leadership positions.
In addition to the elections we also held a webinar for Grade 9 and 10 students on Thursday morning where we shared information about what students need to do and indeed can do for CAS at this time. We also shared some preliminary information about the planned assessment calendar for the remainder of the school year and answered questions from our Freshman and Sophomores. Wednesday was a webinar for our Senior students where we shared details and information about their end of year and the upcoming virtual graduation.
In the coming weeks we are continuing to search for meaningful and real ways to keep our students and community connected during these unusual and unsettling times. One way to celebrate our communities talents is through the upcomingISB Together at Home concert being hosted on Thursday May 14th at 4pm with special guest appearances by Dr Davies and one of the ISB Panther Mascots.
