At the top is the Google Translator which will translate the webpage into a host of languages. The links are the same as the ones previously. Under upcoming events is a list of the next five events coming up under the school calender. For more info on the calendar click here.

Left Panel
The panel on the left gives links to news events and at the bottom links to the school Bulletin Board. The Bulletin Board is where you post items for the school events and functions that you want to last longer than news items. News items are temporary but Bulletin Board is intended to last longer.
