ASD CLASS NAME: "THE LIGHTHOUSE".
The Student Council has announced the new name for our ASD class; "The Lighthouse." The Student Council met this week and had visited all classes looking for students suggestions. Parent consultation was also carried out via Google forms.Staff members were also consulted. The Student Council then made a shorlist of names. A subsequent vote led to a unanimous choice, "The Lighthouse". Congrats to all involved. It's a very apt name.
