Warm greetings to our Brent community!

Acknowledgements (April 6–10)

We marked the beginning of the Grade 12 Mock Examinations and Major Academic Assessments on Tuesday. We commend our seniors for their focus and perseverance during this important academic milestone.

Our Lower School Camp (Grades 3–5, April 7–8) was a meaningful and enriching experience, fostering independence, collaboration, and a deeper appreciation for the outdoors. Highlights from the camp will be shared this Wednesday during Chapel. All are invited.

On Wednesday, April 8 (Day 1), we gathered for our Post-Easter Chapel (7:45–8:30 AM) with Bishop Richard Stone Banagui. His message offered a timely opportunity for reflection and renewal as we move forward with purpose.

On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, the Photography Club held a photo critique session organized by student facilitator Nathan Clemente. Special thanks to Mr. Andreo and Ms. Gia Bongco for generously sharing their time and expertise, providing valuable insights that helped students deepen their appreciation and understanding of photography.
