Nous parlons français!



Some of our French classes concluded their integrated arts units this week by presenting their French plays! Students performed with confidence and expression while speaking entirely in French! Felicitation to the Grade 4, 5, 6 and 7 classes on such successful and entertaining culminating presentations!

Message from our Trustee, Linda Aversa.



Message from our Trustee

We are now halfway through the school year.  This is a good time to reflect on all that your child has learned and to look at setting goals for the rest of the school year.

Our Board believes that student well-being and achievement go hand-in-hand.  One of our goals set out in the Board of Trustees’ Multi-Year Plan is to “continuously increase student achievement and well-being through a culture of caring and learning.” 

The Ministry of Education has recently identified four priorities for well-being: positive mental health, safe and accepting schools, healthy schools, and equity and inclusive education.  As a Board of Trustees, we will continue to further work in all of these areas to support student well-being in line with these priorities.

There are many resources on the Board website to help support student well-being, including tips for talking about mental health, managing stress, packing healthy lunches and addressing incidents of bullying.

Creating a healthy, safe and welcoming learning environment is key to helping our students reach their full potential.  All of us have an important role to play in creating an environment that enables our students to thrive.


I wish you all the best for a healthy, happy and successful 2017.

Wellness Wednesday


On Wednesday, January 18th, students in our Junior division had their first taste (some literally!) of Wellness Wednesday.  For those not familiar with the initiative, it involves all students in a division engaging in an activity of their choice for the entire language block one Wednesday each month. 

Activities include options like water colour painting, yoga, cooking, hiking/taking part in a scavenger hunt outdoors, knitting, "makerspace" activities, and many more.  Students choose three activities in which they would like to take part and they are guaranteed to be selected for one of the three. Stay tuned for more pictures - staff and students alike are thoroughly enjoying this  opportunity!
