Today, Executive Director Tom Sexton and Education Consultant for the Central Zone Jo-Anne Bond welcomed the Primary Principals of the Central Zone for both a gathering and tour of the Catholic Education Office at 200 Gillies Street.
With the challenges inherent with meeting in person for the past several years, the opportunity to gather with fellow peers is a most welcome one.
