As responsible digital citizens, our students are required to sign a Student Agreement of Acceptable Technology Use every year. The agreement is explained to students in class before they sign it each year. Once a student signs the agreement, parents will receive an email to also sign it. As parents, please look out for this email and contact our Secondary School office if you have any questions.

Chinthe Expeditions Update

We have been very pleased by the positive response to our return to week without walls in the form of our Chinthe Expeditions programme. We are working very closely with our travel partners, Oway, in finalizing every detail around travel, accommodation and activities. It is very exciting for us to be doing this and thank you to those of you who have contacted us with your questions about your child(ren)’s expedition. Questions are always welcome and are helpful to us.

To provide all of you with more specific information about your child(ren)’s expedition, Grade Level Expedition Meetings will be held at school during the week of November 13-17 on the following schedule.

Grade level meetings have been combined based on how the students will travel to the destinations (bus and/or plane):

• Tuesday, November 14 at 5:30pm: Grades 6, 8, 9
• Wednesday, November 15 at 5:30pm: Grades 10 & 12
• Thursday, November 16 at 5:30pm: Grades 7 & 11

All meetings will be held in the Multi-Purpose Room

In these meetings, we will be sharing specific information around travel, accommodation, and activities. We will also be sharing security information and more general information as to how the expedition will run to ensure a fun and safe experience for all.
