School Donation

The Board of Trustees requests a donation for each full-time pupil.  This donation enables the school to fund additional activities that extend and enrich our students’ experiences at school.  

- Subsidising human resources (Librarian, ICT Technician, Teacher Aide support         in classes)

- Enhanced classroom supplies i.e. (Superior art supplies, Cartridge paper versus Newsprint, Pastels versus Crayons) 

- Classroom Technology (Computers, Interactive Boards, Coding Devices) 

This year the donation has been set at $140.00. A request for the school donation will be mailed to you. The school activity fee will be the same for each family member.
