CAC High School Principal’s Notes
Ms Bean presents at Senior College Night
Excitement is in the air as our annual Spirit Week approaches! With daily themed activities and events taking place next week, students will have the chance to bond and create lasting memories together. We look forward to seeing friendly, positive competition between grades and school pride appropriately on display. We encourage all students to get involved and make this a memorable celebration of our school spirit!
Spirit Week is all about fostering a strong sense of community and belonging within our school. Through various fun and engaging activities, students will explore how school spirit can unite us, build lasting connections, and create a positive, inclusive environment. By focusing on teamwork, kindness, and school pride, we aim to strengthen the bonds between students, helping everyone feel valued and supported. Spirit Week is not just about competition—it’s about coming together as one community.
Service Fair 2024
On Wednesday this week, we hosted the annual Service Fair here on campus. I extend my gratitude to our service learning coordinator, Ereeny Gawdat, for organizing this event. It’s inspiring to witness local NGOs, entrepreneurs and businesses prioritize service-oriented and sustainable practices in their operations.
It was also great to welcome a large turnout of parents at our first HS parent coffee morning this week. For those who couldn’t attend or anyone who wants a recap, you can find the slides used during the event here. Our Next Coffee morning will take place on October 2.
