3. Middle to High School Transition Program- Pastoral, parents incoming grade 9 students to outline the supports that will be provided or each student as when they enter high school.

The Pastoral Department is instrumental in ensuring that the day-to-day operations of the middle and high school sections are structured and sound.  The department also ensures the orderly flow of student movement, monitoring all attendance, ensuring our exam setting is setup for optimal student success and ensuring students adhere to the behavioral expectations for all students.

Recent research reveals that there has been a dramatic rise in the number of children with special educational needs (SEN), so it is essential to have staff knowledgeable of supporting our children with the most needs. Our Social Worker Team are dedicated to ensuring the academic, social and emotional well-being of our students are maximized.  The Social Workers work with the instructional staff to create, implement and monitor the Individualized Education Plans, Behavior Plans and Support Plans.
