From Administration

As we wrap up another incredible school year, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our students, families, and staff for making the 2025–26 school year such a memorable one.

This year has been filled with learning, growth, achievements, challenges, and countless moments that have strengthened our MidSun community. Whether in the classroom, on the stage, on the athletic field, during field trips, or through the many extracurricular opportunities, our students have demonstrated resilience, kindness, and a commitment to learning.

To our families, thank you for your ongoing partnership and support throughout the year. Your encouragement and involvement have played an important role in the success of our students and our school community.

As summer begins, I hope everyone has the opportunity to relax, spend time with family and friends, explore new adventures, and recharge for the year ahead.

To our Grade 9 students, congratulations on reaching this important milestone. We wish you every success as you begin the next chapter of your educational journey. 

On behalf of the entire staff at MidSun School, thank you for a wonderful year. We look forward to welcoming both returning and new students back for another exciting year of learning.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday, August 31, 2026, for the first day of the 2026–27 school year!

Have a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer!
