Co-Curricular Fests (Upper School) Club Fest and Community Partnership Fest occur during lunch in late September or early October. Representatives from all clubs, community partners and co-curricular activities set up booths to inform and invite interested student participants to join. There, students learn about offerings, their outcomes and time commitments. Sign up occurs approximately one week following to allow time for students to plan with their parent(s) / guardians and their Form Teacher or Teacher Advisor to support making good choices.
