Uniform Infractions
With an uptick in regular and PHE uniform infractions students have been reminded and sent for a uniform slip. These infractions are tracked and monitored.
If a student incurs a total of 5 uniform infractions their homeroom or PHE teacher will speak to the student and parents for reinforcement.
If a student incurs a total of 10 uniform infractions the student will be addressed by the Principal, and a call made home. The consequence to this is that students will be asked to help out around the school e.g. sorting lost and found, organizing middle school game cart. Here is the uniform guide.

STUDENT LIFE AND BELONGING
STUDENT VOTE 2025 - written by Gr 11 CAS students Marissa W, Sophie F and Ava M
Last week our school had its very own Student Vote Election and the results are in!! After a morning of excitement and some serious decision-making, 289 students from grades 8-12 cast their votes—and the Conservative Party came out on top.
So, how did it work? Students had the chance to vote for a representative in our riding from one of the four major political parties: Conservative, Liberal, NDP, and a couple of others. No pressure, no peer influence—you just grabbed a ballot and marked your choice.
Though ultimately, this wasn't just about who won—it was about taking part in something that helps us understand how voting works. It’s our way of practicing for when we’re actually old enough to vote in a real election. And even if the results weren't what everyone expected, the most important thing was that we got involved and learned a little more about democracy in the process.

House Standings Update - Term 2!
In a very spirited final assembly, our staff and students watched a zipline reveal of our house standings!
With flags flying down the zipline, we witnessed, for the first time in 6 years, AIR house take the lead.
With 2 months of Challenge, Community and Curiosity competitions left, there is still room for any house to take the Cup!
Chair Candidate Q&A - Tuesday, March 25
On Tuesday, March 25 the Middle School students will have the opportunity to hear from our Chair candidates. In a moderated Q&A session, candidates will answer a series of questions to help our Middle School community become informed voters before the election the following week.
The Q&A will be held in the Gym at 8:30am. Students should check in with their homeroom teacher first.
