The Little Mermaid
Mike Simpson
Secondary School Principal
April 4, 2025
Tonight and tomorrow night, we are so lucky to come together and share the joy of music and performance. A school musical is a celebration of talent, teamwork, and creativity, and we are grateful for everyone who has worked so hard to bring this show to life.
At the same time, we want to acknowledge those who have been affected by last Friday’s earthquake. Our thoughts are with them, and we stand in solidarity with all who are facing loss and hardship.
I hope you get to come along to enjoy this performance. As we do, let us be grateful for the strength of our community and think about the power of coming together in both joy and support.

Thingyan Update
We wanted to share an update regarding Thingyan celebrations at school this year. The township office has informed us that all Thingyan celebrations must take place during the official holiday period. Since this coincides with our school break, we will not be able to hold any activities at school this year.
