Shaw Festival Fabulous!

What an awesome day we had today at the Shaw Festival. The backstage tour, pre-show talk, lunch, downtown walk, An Inspector Calls performance, and post show Q&A were all fantastic and a truly enriching experience!

Perhaps the only thing better was the behaviour and the way our students conducted themselves and represented our school. I am extremely pleased with how the whole day went. Everyone involved has made it very encouraging and enticing to plan more activities and field trips like this. Thanks to everyone involved!  Please post a comment about your day for others to read.
