Help Shape the Future of Co-Curricular Activities!

This week, a co-curricular survey was sent to students, offering them a chance to have their voices heard. We encourage all students to take a few moments to complete it, as their feedback will help our co-curricular captains plan new and exciting opportunities for 2025 and beyond. Your input is invaluable in ensuring that our school continues to provide engaging and fulfilling lunchtime activities for all.
