As the holidays draw near, many Defence families find themselves in the midst of change—with exercises intensifying, posting orders being issued, and relocations and deployments underway. This can be a particularly busy and sometimes challenging time for both parents and children.

If your family is experiencing any of these transitions and you feel your child may benefit from additional support, please don’t hesitate to contact us at school. We’re here to help and will do our best to assist you during this time.

There are also a number of great events and activities planned for Defence families over the holiday break. Some upcoming highlights include:
