Strengthening Connections

Last term, we had the pleasure of hosting our first round of Parent-Teacher Interviews for the Online Campus—and what an encouraging experience it was. Held via TEAMS, these conversations reflected the strong partnership we’re building between school and home, even across digital distance.

We heard from many parents who expressed appreciation for the opportunity to speak directly with their child’s teachers, without needing to navigate travel or busy schedules. The convenience of logging in from home meant more families could participate, and the discussions were rich with insight and encouragement.

Students, too, benefited from the opportunity to hear constructive feedback and celebrate their early wins. For some, it was a moment of recognition. For others, it provided renewed direction. In both cases, it showed that meaningful growth is happening in this new learning environment.

One of the key strengths of our Online Campus is that students can continue with a high-quality education regardless of location, personal circumstance, or other barriers. These interviews reaffirmed that learning is not just continuing—it’s thriving. Families shared how the flexibility of the online model has enabled students to flourish in ways they hadn’t imagined possible.

As we look ahead to the rest of the term, we remain deeply thankful for the strong partnership with our Online Campus families. Your feedback, encouragement, and involvement help us create a Christ-centred learning environment where students feel known, supported, and equipped for growth.

We’re excited for what’s to come and grateful to be walking this journey together.
