Bonjour BP families! 

Please see the attached link, which will take you to the 2025 School Planning Survey for Bishop Pinkham.  Similar to the last few years, this survey is asking for feedback around the School Development Plan and school fees – and will only take you a few minutes to complete.  As data is generally more pertinent based on a higher number of responses, we would appreciate you taking the time to provide your opinion.  The survey will be open until March 30.

CUPE Labour Action Update 

Please note that ongoing updates can be found on the CBE Labour Action Page 

At this point for athletics, volleyball continues as planned and will be wrapped up shortly. For now, at the middle/junior high school levels, extra-curricular athletics are paused until further notice. This means that there will be no try outs, no practices, no exhibition games between schools, and no tournaments. Schools can continue to run games at the intramural level during school hours. If/when the CUPE labour action ceases, a plan to resume athletics will be communicated to Principals and schools.
