The Penelopiad
By Margaret Atwood
Now that I’m dead I know everything.
From beyond the grave, Penelope looks back on the events of The Odyssey, from her early childhood to her rivalry with Helen of Troy. Journey with Odysseus’ famed faithful wife and her loyal maids as they navigate love and betrayal, fighting for independence in a male-dominated world.

Students have an opportunity to experience Spanish culture in all its forms during an 11-day trip to Spain this upcoming March Break. Students can admire the country’s bold and unique architecture, from the unfinished Sagrada Familia in Barcelona to the Alcazar in Seville. They can feel the emotive rhythms of the flamenco and enjoy a paella dinner in Valencia. In Madrid, the Royal Palace shows off Spain’s regal side, while the Prado features the country’s most celebrated artists. This trip is open to students in all grades.

On Thursday October 19th, Rosedale’s Musical Theatre Program presents our annual revue. This year, it’s titled “Spring Forward Fall Back”.
The show is at 7pm, and acts as a fundraiser for our main stage show in April. Tickets are $10. Tickets go on sale starting Monday at lunch in the box office, or can be purchased at the door the night of the show. Hope to see you there!
Have you ever wondered if it truly takes 15 minutes to get from the dance studios to the geography rooms? Does your child’s English teacher actually talk like Hugh Grant? And how often do our math teachers really hold tests? Find the answers to these and other questions at our curriculum night on Thursday, September 28th, 2017, when you’ll have an opportunity to experience an abbreviated version of your son or daughter’s timetable. Here’s the agenda:
In addition to our classroom teachers and administrators, there will also be a guidance counselor in the guidance office throughout the evening to discuss university entrance and other issues of concern to parents.

The first day of school this year is Tuesday, September 5th, 2017. Timetables will be available for collection in the gym from 8:30am – 9:30am. If you are a grade 9 student who attended the orientation day on August 31st, you have your timetable already so you don’t need to arrive until 9:30 am. Here’s the schedule for the first day of school:
We wish our new and returning students much success in the forthcoming academic year, and we’ll see you all on Tuesday.
Our grade 9 orientation will be taking place on Thursday, August 31st, 2017.
It is designed to help our new students make a smooth transition to high school, and will give them an opportunity to take part in informal activities with their peers, meet some of their teachers, and have their questions answered. They’ll also be introduced to our student council, principal, and vice-principals. There will be a pizza lunch on the lawn, after which students will be given their timetables and have a chance to explore the school.
Check in is from 8:30 am, with the day starting at 9:00 am. We expect to wrap up at around 1:00 pm.
