Your AJHS eNewsletter has arrived – week 6

Thank you to our community

A huge thank you so much to all the schools, parents, boards and community members who have reached out and supported us over the last few weeks. We have appreciated it so very much, and it gave us the strength we needed to support others. 

From morning teas to other schools deploying their own school counsellors, we feel very humbled to be a part of such a strong and supportive community. 

Thank you.
