Dear Families,

Thank you everyone who came to celebrate our 2024 graduates today at our Grad Walk. We are proud of these resilient young people and confident that they will impact positive changes in our world!

Dear all,

This week sees the end of our after school activities. From Monday, sadly,  there will be no more time given to these events.

I want to say a huge thank you to all the teachers, staff and parents that made these activities happen. They are a fundamental part of what makes our school and community the wonderful place that it is. This year despite many hardships and difficulties you still managed to give more in pursuit of excellence.

To the students that attended these activities I must also say a deep and sincere thanks. Despite the work that needs to be finished and the busy lives that you lead, you came out and took part, again allowing our school to flourish.

Thanks to all and let's do it all again next year.

| "Empower" Lesson Plans

The Empower curriculum integrates the Success Orientations, Social Emotional Learning concepts, and Child Protection principles into individual lessons throughout the year. These lessons will be delivered during a dedicated weekly EMPOWER class time. This approach aims to equip students with a comprehensive set of skills applicable throughout their lives. Specific lessons tailored to each grade level ensure developmental appropriateness. While some concepts may be revisited annually, the lessons will vary based on the students' age. For more information, please see the QSI Empower statement.

Teachers will keep parents informed about the upcoming lessons for their child, and for certain grades, the lesson plans will be accessible in this newsletter. Click on the post below to view the message from the teacher.

Nets for Protection 

Hello Kozak community! We, the 13-year-old class, are engaged in a Service-Learning Project in order to benefit Ukraine. We are gathering clothes in order to make camouflage nets for Ukrainian soldiers. We need donations of green, light brown, and sandy coloured clothes, the material should not be too heavy, or reflective, and should be print-free. Donations should be placed in the donation box standing in the lobby.
