A moving moment on Thursday when students raised the @mcfirstnation flag in honour of #IndigenousHistoryMonth and the Progress Pride flag for #PrideMonth We are always working towards safer and more caring school environment for everybody.

Thankful to our Kindergarten educators for hosting “Come & Play” for families. Having families learning alongside their children was amazing!
