End of Year Assessment: During the month of May and June all of our students will be involved in year-end performance assessments. To help your son perform to the best of his ability, we encourage an early bedtime, a healthy breakfast, regular attendance, and a studious approach to all activities and tasks.
ES Bingo Night ~ Thank You: We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parent volunteers who made last Friday's Bingo Night a resounding success. A special shout-out to our student volunteers and Ms. Auclair, whose efforts ensured the event ran smoothly. All of your dedication and enthusiasm greatly contributed to a wonderful evening for our community.
Summer Camps: For more information and registration forms, see our camps webpage here. Invite your friends, cousins and sisters to join a fun and enriching camp experience at SHS this summer
2024 Random Acts of Kindness - Week 10: Our act of kindness of the week is to build connection with others. Reach out via phone, email, or text to someone in your life who you haven't talked to in a while, just to say you're thinking of them. It could be a friend or family member who you don't see often or a neighbour or friend who could benefit from a kind exchange. Each week, we hope to get 150 acts of kindness, meaning 150 people from our community will complete the suggested act! Please complete this form as you complete each week’s action to help us track our numbers. You can submit your suggestions for acts of kindness here.
Old Boys & Friends' Golf Tournament: The countdown to the Old Boys & Friends' Golf Tournament is officially on!

There are still some sponsorship opportunities available and we would love to include donated auction items and prizes from the Selwyn House community. Every contribution counts towards reaching our goal! Let's make this milestone year unforgettable! Visit selwyn.ca/golf for details.
