MINISTRY EXTERNAL EVALUATION TOMORROW/FRIDAY
We welcome the two external evaluators sent by the Ministry of Education Independent
Schools to TLA tomorrow and Friday. This six-year event is designed to ensure that we
are meeting the Ministry requirements regarding all aspects of our school. Evaluators
will be visiting classrooms and speaking with teachers throughout both days at TLA.
WALK-A-THON NEWS
Students have reached $33,500.00 in pledges and we are in the final stages of calculating the actual

everyone for their commitment to this year’s major fund raising activity.
