Are you interested in traveling to Austria? If so, there are green forms in the office which you should be aware about. The exchange process means that you host a student from Austria during October and then travel to Austria, with a group of students during the month of March. When you are in Austria you get a chance to partake in their culture and their way of learning. The students who participated in the program last year all agreed it was an amazing trip. Please hand in the green forms by June 9th, and if you wish to learn more about this trip or have any questions please talk to Mr.Hamilton.
A great show was put on by Point Grey's Theater PM group. Tact, a traveling play, follows a teenager, Hank, through a fantasy land after he loses his tact. Along the way, he encounters a talking rabbit with a french accent, people dressed in garbage, and a King and Queen bent on keeping him as a slave. The play incorporated a live band, stilt walkers, and the roof of the school. Best wishes to Jahrrico Brown, who broke his wrist while performing the play.
