This past March, a group of nine grade 12 students and two chaperones had the opportunity to travel outside of the familiar to the colourful country of Guatemala.

Passover is the oldest and most important religious festival in Judaism, commemorating God’s deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt.

A compelling work of original art bringing this year’s chapel theme to life was unveiled on January 27. Claudia Isaac, the grade 12 artist, chose to depict our theme “Wild Hope” with a uniquely crafted image of a tiger – although there’s more to this image than initially meets to eye. Isaac writes, “This work is […]
