What’ s something outside of school that helps you recharge? My favourite thing to do after a long day is to go on a long walk with music. I have been loving walking along the sea wall to English Bay or along Olympic Village. I also enjoy seeing friends outside of school or going for coffee or a Dairy Queen Blizzard.
What are some fun facts about yourself? I cannot do a cartwheel, and I have never been able to do one. It has been my goal forever to be able to complete one. Catch me on Kent Field practicing when the days get a little nicer. I will accept any tips and tricks that come my way!
This interview gave us a closer look at Ms. Radnidge and what she brings to CHS. From her passion for teaching to her involvement in coaching and school activities, it’ s clear that she is excited to be part of our school community. We look forward to seeing the positive impact she will have on students and classes throughout the year. Thanks for reading, and we hope you have a wonderful spring break!
