Dynamic Changes in Campus Staff and Facilities

We are excited to welcome the following new team members:

Carolyn Amaral – English Language and Literature for M2 and M5

Courtney Feldman – Librarian (whole-school)

Kim Hogg – MYP Design

Stephanie Hollis – Communications

Annie Philip – MYP Mathematics (work permit pending)

Nicole Ratteray – Primary Art teacher

Kim Rose – Global Politics and Theory of Knowledge

Lisa Sundgren – Lower Primary classroom teacher (pending immigration approval)

Music Educator (pending)

Upper Secondary Counsellor (pending)

Regrettably, Krystle Paulino, our Primary Art teacher, resigned over the summer. We extend our best wishes for her future endeavors. Fortunately, we were able to swiftly secure a replacement for the role.

Furthermore, Audrey Duncan, who was slated to be our IB Music Educator, is unable to take up the position due to health reasons. Currently, we are in the process of actively searching for a suitable replacement, with the goal of having a strong educator in place by the commencement of the school year.

Additionally, we are actively pursuing a counselor to provide valuable support to students ranging from M4 to DP2.

Facility Updates:

The facilities team has dedicated the summer to preparing staff and students for a successful year. Spaces have been thoroughly cleaned and freshly painted and numerous repairs made to the infrastructure. 

Please see below for office updates:

• The Children’s House 3-year-old full day and Afterschool students will enjoy a freshly designed space in the lower level of the main building, previously the Kiskadee classroom.
