Dear School Community, 

Good news. Our search for a new principal has officially closed and we are happy to announce that Corinna Niekamp has accepted the position. 

Corinna is very familiar with our school as a parent, former teacher and board member. Her commitment to and experience with our school will make this transition as seamless as possible. 

This also means that Corinna can no longer serve on our Board of Directors and our Vice Chair, Kyle Bostelmann, will act as Interim Chair until our AGM in June. 

We look forward to working with Corinna as the new principal and are excited about the future of our school. 

Also, please note that we always welcome new faces on our committees and on our Board of Directors and hope to hear from you if you are interested in joining us. 

Warm regards, 

Your GHLS Board of Directors
