Spring Break

It's been a long winter, but we've made it!  Whatever your plans are this break, I hope it's a good one.  Please remember to put the devices down regularly and enjoy the real world...go out for a wander, kick a ball, jump in a puddle, for real!  You don't need to live your life through the experiences of others on a screen.

The Life That You Want

 I came across this quote today:

"The life that you want is on the other side of the work you're avoiding."

Think about that.  If it resonates, use it as some form of inspiration.

Math 9 Honours in 2026-2027

If you are currently in Math 8 and want to take Math 9 Honours next year, you need to complete two assessments this year:

1. CNML Exam - to be written on February, 17, 2026.
2. Math 9 Honours Entrance Exam - to be written in late-March or early-April.  This exam will be cased on current Math 8 topics and may include "math contest-type" questions.

Selection for admission to Math 9 Honours will be based on your scores on these two assessments in conjunction with the recommendations of your current math teacher (that's me!)  Let me know if you have any questions about this process.
