What to Expect

WHAT IS AN OPEN HOUSE?

School open houses are informal events that give you a chance to visit and learn about the school.

This is your chance to:

• tour the school
• get a feel for the school’s culture and atmosphere 
• speak to students, teachers, other school staff and parents
• learn about programs and extracurricular activities offered at the school
• understand what your child will learn and how you can support their learning
• learn about the registration process
