Dear Seniors!
Hello! Thank you for checking the blog. I am more than impressed with your Personal Statements. You are amazing people with amazing stories - thank you for sharing and intrusting your words. Many of you still need plenty of revision - make sure that you take advantage of your opportunities to resubmit your work for a second assessment. You will get these back this week.
Office Hours/Tutoring will be on Tuesday and Wednesday after school. I am updating grades this week. If you have any questions or concerns - please make sure to speak with me at the appropriate time - so that we are able to assist you as needed.
