Thornhill Woods School Council presents...

Please join us!  

Parenting Seminar at Stephen Lewis S.S.

This session should be a most informative and engaging - the topic is regularly referenced at school.

Greetings from our Trustee, Linda Aversa.

With spring approaching and the hours of daylight increasing, now is a good time to enjoy the outdoors and our natural environment. Did you know that our Board has five outdoor education centres, and students have opportunities to visit them and other outdoor learning spaces throughout their schooling? This is part of our commitment to giving students an opportunity to learn in and about the natural world. This learning supports students in gaining a deeper appreciation for nature and the importance of environmental sustainability.  

“Modelling continuous environmental sustainability” is one of the goals outlined in our Board of Trustees’ Multi-Year Plan. We believe that we all have a role to play in reducing waste and protecting our environment. Our students, staff members and families continue to show leadership when it comes to supporting student learning and initiatives to reduce our ecological footprint.

Spending time outside as a family also provides a great opportunity to support and enhance your child’s learning outside of school. Whether visiting a park or museum, reading with your child in your home language or asking questions about their day at school - know that there are many ways you can support their education and that you are making a difference.

I hope you all have a happy and safe March Break and enjoy the warmer weather ahead. 

Young Mathematicians and Programmers at Work!

Kindergartens have been  been working on Spatial Reasoning.  In Ms. Terner's and Ms. Roman's class they will focus next on coding. Teachers have teamed up with Ms. Black who, with her group of Intermediate students, will be teaching Kindies about robotics in the form of Ozobots.  Kindies will work with Intermediate buddies to program these small robots. Awesome learning!
