UNESCO Initiative - Kindness

We are thrilled to introduce about something incredibly special – KINDNESS. Imagine a world where every small act of kindness creates a ripple of positivity, making our school a warm and supportive place for everyone. Kindness is not just a word; it is a superpower that each one of us possesses. Simple gestures, thoughtful words, and the caring actions can transform a moment and, in turn, transform lives.

Let us embark on a mission of kindness together. Imagine the impact if each of us makes a conscious effort to be kind every day. Hold the door for a friend, share a smile, or lend a helping hand. These acts may seem small, but their effects are enormous.

We are launching our very own "Great Wall of Kindness." It is not just a wall; it is a commitment. A commitment to making our school a place where everyone feels valued and supported. We are encouraging each student to embrace kindness and spread it like confetti.

Remember, kindness is contagious. Let us infect our school with it and watch as the magic unfolds. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey towards a kinder, brighter future.

Parking

Just a reminder that there is no parking or stopping by the corner edge going up into the back alley. It is a no parking/stopping zone to allow our buses to be able to clear the corner and keep our students safe. Please do not park in this area.

School Development Plan

Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students, and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement. Please to view our click here school year. It is located on our school website under the heading “Our School” under the “Resources” section.
