Find Out What's Happening on Campus This Weekend

  • Country Western Flannel Fest on Saturday -- We are excited to share the first Weekend Bulletin for the year: Click to view the schedule of student activities on campus. These events are for boarding and day students, and we encourage everyone to attend. As this is a closed weekend for our boarding students, this is a unique opportunity for the full community to come together for these festivities.

  • House Cup Competition on Sunday -- From 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, the school prefects have organized our annual House Cup. Prefects will be sharing more details about the Sunday activities with the students. This event is for boarding and day students and is always great fun for everyone!
