Latest PREP Updates
I would like to start off by wishing all our Families, Students & Staff the very best during the season of Advent. A special thank you to the Level 6 Class and their Teacher Mr. Scaglione for the wonderful job they did in preparing and presenting our HC Prep Advent Mass on Dec. 5. Also, I would like to thank the Parents and Family Guests who attended the Advent Mass as well. A further thank you also goes to Father Tomas, Rosaria Malsegna, Enza Malsegna & Lauryn Jackson for their help with this memorable Advent Celebration. Please pay attention to the following important information:
- Please note that it is very important to proceed with caution and at a slow speed when driving in our Parking Lot during pick-up and drop-off times. As the weather begins to change for the worse, we all have to do our very best to keep our Students safe.
- A very special thank you from Father Chris and Father Tomas to all our Level 3 to Level 7 Students who participated in our Confessions last week, for their exceptional reverence and preparation.

This request is being made to help maintain a healthy environment for our Staff & Students.
