Keep the school calendar PDF handy for the practical days: school closings and major events. It is the quickest way to check whether school is in session and what large events are coming up. Print it or save it to your phone, and check here first when the weather turns.

Festival of Cultures

Families gather to honor the cultures, traditions, food, music, and stories that live inside our school community. Children see their own heritage in the room, and they meet the heritage of classmates. It is a shared, joyful afternoon for everyone who attends.

Michaelmas

Michaelmas is a traditional autumn festival of courage and community for Grades 1 through 8 families. The day features seasonal singing, the student Dragon Chase, and an outdoor pageant. It marks the turning of the season and gathers the grades together.

Coffee Wednesday

Coffee Wednesday follows drop-off. Parents and caregivers gather for coffee, tea, and morning treats. Grade students offer presentations during the gathering. It is a chance to start the day slowly and catch up with other families.

Holiday Fair

Admission is free. Walk through interactive activities for all ages, including crafts, art, jewelry, and pottery. Live music plays while food trucks, a bake shop, and a kids cafe serve the crowd. A puppet show rounds out the day.

What this looks like in practice

A school calendar holds more than dates. It shows when the year begins, when it breaks for holidays, and which days are set aside for festivals and gatherings. Parents check it before booking trips or arranging childcare. Teachers plan lessons and events around the same rhythm. When everyone works from one calendar, the year feels predictable rather than rushed.

Young children rely on routine to feel steady. When a parent knows a holiday is coming, they can talk about it at home a few days ahead. A child walks into a short week already prepared for the change. That small bit of warning often heads off the tired, off-kilter afternoons that follow an unexpected break.
