Recently, we had the joy of watching our Grade 9 and Kindergarten students learn together through a special “passport” experience, where our older students led their younger buddies on a journey through the many corners of the world God has created — a beautiful picture of mentorship, wonder, and the diversity of His creation.
We also celebrated our students who participated in the Speech Competition, demonstrating confidence, courage, and strong communication skills as they shared their ideas with others.
