Dear Brent Community,
As we settle into Semester 2, we take a moment to express our appreciation for a strong and meaningful start to the term, and to look ahead to the activities and learning experiences that continue to shape our community.
• CISSMUN XV (Ongoing)
Thank you to our MUN advisor (Mr. James Young), chaperone (Ms Yeonyi Park), parents, staff, and our student delegates for the careful coordination and preparation for CISSMUN XV, including the pre-departure meeting on January 13 and the successful departure to Shanghai. We wish our delegates well as the conference continues and are happy to share photos from the journey and conference experience.
