Conferences
Mike Simpson
Secondary School Principal
November 1, 2024
We had a very good turn out to Parent Teacher Conferences on Wednesday.
We encourage students to take responsibility for their learning and advocate for themselves in the learning process. So, it was very pleasing to see so many students participating in the conferences.
The partnership between home and school is very important for student learning and our teachers welcome the chance to talk with parents during the conferences. They also welcome parents (and students) to reach out to them at any time during the year to talk about a student’s progress or anything that might help us better meet a student’s needs.
We appreciate our partnership with you as our students’ parents and are grateful for your support.

Myanmar National Anthem
Every morning at 8:30am, we pause while the Myanmar National Anthem is played. Pursuant to a directive from the Myanmar Ministry of Education, our Myanmar students are now required to stand and sing the anthem. Our students are learning to sing the anthem in Myanmar Studies classes and from Monday, we will be asking all students to stand and Myanmar students are asked to sing it together in class.Students from other nationalities are welcome to sing if they wish to.
Chinthe Expeditions
We are very much looking forward to our Chinthe Expeditions.
A detailed travel and activity summary has now been emailed to all parents. If you have not already, please fill out the Parent Information and Authorization Form that is linked to that email. This provides us with important medical, dietary, and other information that we will share with our expedition partners to ensure a safe and enjoyable expedition for all.
We will soon be meeting with students to prepare for their expeditions.
