Welcome to Semester 2!

After an excellent Semester 1 for our students, staff and school we look forward to even greater achievement and accomplishments for this semester. At this time we would like to welcome new staff who have joined us and are really pleased that they come to us with outstanding credentials, enthusiasm and most importantly are all very "student centered." We know that they will add great value on behalf of our students and contribute greatly to the life of our school. Joining our English Team, we welcome Anjay Mackenzie and Gordana Panoska. For Canada and the World and Special Education, we extend a warm welcome to Paul Beck. Danny Devine returns to our school as a member of our Business Team. Stephanie Briggs will soon be joining our Math Team and we look forward to welcoming Phoebe Ching in the very near future to our Math Team. We will soon be hiring an Art teacher to our school for this semester as Karl Mustoe takes a leave.
I would be amiss if I didn't recognize the many contributions of Richard Bowering, who has recently retired as of the end of Semester 1. We will miss Richard and wish him the very best on his next journey...thanks for your support of students, staff and our school over the past many years. Nicole Brinton also leaves us as she immerses herself  in the business world. We wish her continued success in the future. As Semester 2 begins, I wish everyone the very best for a successful semester. We look forward to great things both inside and outside of the classroom by our students and staff. A special thanks to our parent community, who continue to support our students, staff and school in such a fervent manner. Together we are making a difference each and every day in support of success for all of our students. I look forward to our continued partnership as we ensure that "The Ridge" maintains its' status as one of the exemplary schools in our province.
