PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
We are really excited to be heading into summer and
starting the new school year in September at Royal
Bay Secondary. It has been a long two years getting
to this point, but the results are well worth it – The
school is beautiful. We are working hard on getting
the school ready to receive your students. The staff
has been hired and is really looking forward to
starting a new chapter in the Sooke School District.
