Our first performance will be Commencement 2007.

This year, we wish to continue with the feeder school tour, SE2 Celebrate the Arts Initiative, and also to add music festival.

We also have a special treat! The Scarborough Community Concert Band wants to do a joint concert with our school here in our auditorium! More details to come---how will we fit everybody on stage?
