Third grade recently put their creativity and mathematical skills to work by designing and building 3D Shape Castles. Students created unique castle models, then collected data from their Castles organized it using tally and frequency tables, and displaying their fibdibgs on colorful bar graphs. This engaging project combined Math, creativity and presentation skills allowing students to explore geometry in a fun and hands on way. Well done Grade 3!!

Yesterday, we celebrated Burger King Day! What a fantastic way to kick off exam season and mark the end of the 2025–2026 academic school year.

Students enjoyed a delicious lunch featuring chicken nuggets, Whoppers, and even Bacon Kings. As an extra treat, our Pre-K, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 students received toys and Burger King crowns in their meal bags, making the day even more special.

There were smiles all around as students and staff came together to celebrate a successful year of learning, growth, and achievement. It was a memorable day and a wonderful way to close out the school year before exams begin.

We wish all of our students the very best as they enter exam season!

The Department of Gender Affairs hosts an annual event that recognizes students between the ages of 10 and 12 who exemplify outstanding character and citizenship. Each school is invited to nominate a student who consistently demonstrates respect, self-control, compassion, empathy, and kindness, while also exhibiting exemplary behavior, a positive attitude, and active involvement in extracurricular activities.

This year, SKI Academy was proud to nominate Zamari from Grade 5 in recognition of the many wonderful qualities he brings to our school community.

Congratulations Zamari! We are so proud of you!
