Halloween at SJS was a thrill, as always!
Everyone came out in their best spooky and spectacular costumes, with teachers and staff surprising the students with a `Barbie` theme this year - as covertly coordinated by Ms. Finn!
There was a Haunted House in Senior School, run by the Student Council in aid of a local food bank, for those brave enough to enter 👻 Our students took it in turns to visit Tapestry at Arbutus Walk to join the residents in their celebrations and the Junior School Costume Parade was another highlight of the day, with many parents coming in their costumes to watch ahead of a night of trick or treating 🎃
