Celebrations
Congratulations to our Junior House Captains and Class Leaders for their fantastic efforts this term. They are the be congratulated for being great helpers during the recent Challenge Days held here at Kings Meadows High School. The assistance they gave to the Grade 5 and 6 students allowed them to engage fully in the day’s activities and make them feel comfortable in the high school environment they will soon be part of.
Farewell Miss Males
It is with great sadness that we say farewell to Miss Males for the remainder of the year. She has accepted a leadership role at Port Dalrymple in Georgetown. In this role, Miss Males will continue to develop her leadership skills and will get the chance to interact with a wide range of new staff, students and families. It will be sad to see her leave as she is a tremendous asset to Kings Meadows High School. She is to be congratulated for taking up new opportunities and wanting to grow both personally and professionally. All of us here at Kings Meadows High School wish Miss Males the best of luck for the remainder of the year.
