Off To a Good Start

The first week of school is officially over and week four is underway. All students, new and old, are diving straight into their academics and getting involved with their sports and arts as well as all the activities on campus. Grade 9s have found their classes and are learning to adjust to the busy Brentwood schedule. On the other hand, the Grade 12s are enjoying their spare block, but with university applications on the top of the to-do list, sleep is elusive.  Brentwood is a busy place and pushes their students to be the best they can be: this can, at times, be exhausting. The weeks are tiring and busy while the weekends are built for fun, relaxation and, of course, some studying! With many things to look forward to like Strathcona for the Grade 9s, Camp Qwanoes for the Grade 10s, Run for the Cure, Thanksgiving Dinner and Thanksgiving Break, students are not lacking for things to do. Mr. Patel's famous line at this time of year is “Camp Brentwood is coming to an end.” Yes, things will become more intense with our tripartite program, but the fun will not end. Emma H, Allard ‘18
