Dear Mustangs:

June has arrived and it only seems like a moment ago when we all came together in September 2019. Today, our world is a different place, but a better place. We have had the opportunity come together and care for each other during this trying time. I thank you from the deepest place of my heart for trusting my staff with your children. The commitment of Mount Royal staff proved to me the true essence of a MUSTANG! You as parents and guardians are to be commended for stepping into this journey with us and learning together. Our students have experienced new ways of learning that brings education to another level. Ms. Bloom, Mrs. Bhamra and I have had the opportunity to speak to Grade 8 students and listen to their stories while at Mount Royal. Insight from students will be shared at our Graduation ceremony that will be scheduled for the Fall of 2020. We asked the students to share with us what they have learned about themselves during this pandemic and what advice would they give to students new to Mount Royal.

I would also like to thank Ms. Bhamra for her commitment towards staff and student success and wish her well as she will be leaving us at the end of this school year and will be going to Lougheed Middle School.

I leave you with this piece of music.

“In a place that needs change, make a difference
In a time full of noise, just listen
‘Cause life is but a breeze, better live it

In a place that needs a change, make a difference”

Families, take care of each other and we all look forward to opening our Mount Royal doors again to all of you in the future.

Stay Safe. Stay Healthy. Stay Connected.

Sincerely,

Aamer Zuberi

Principal

A year end message from your school trustee, Balbir Sohi

As this school year comes to an end, I know it has not been an easy one. However, I encourage us all to reflect on the positive moments we have had.  To our students, I know you have missed out on celebrating milestone achievements and graduations. Your playgrounds and schools have been different this year, and you have missed special moments with your friends. Thank you for helping your parents and family through these difficult months. We are keeping our distance from each other for all our collective safety. With the summer break upon us, please ensure that you continue social distancing while taking some time to relax, refresh and spend time with those you love. We are all in this together. Please reach out if you need anything – I’m always here with and for you. Balbir Sohi  416-828-4330 PDSB Trustee Brampton.  Wards 9/10
