Happy New School Year! We are thrilled to welcome all students,families and staff who are new to HWDSB, and welcome back those who are returning! Wishing you all a wonderful year of learning!

In Australia, this football team just won the league championship. Their captain went into the stands to get their waterboy, who has Down's Syndrome, so they could celebrate together. #Humanity 🌏 🇦🇺

On September 30, we wear orange to honour Phyllis Webstad, who had her orange shirt taken away on her first day at the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) Residential School in British Columbia. Full message for Orange Shirt Day: hwdsb.on.ca/blog/orange-sh… Resources: hwdsb.on.ca/elementary/sup…

R A Riddell’s first celebration of Black Joy & Excellence was an absolute delight with 3 different assemblies sponsored by the School Council

So blessed to finally get to meet one of my equity heroes ( Dr ABC) who was the keynote speaker at the 2023/24 HWDSB Education Director’s Breakfast.

Honoured to join the Sherwood Secondary School Community at their Open House/Reopening event at 25 High Street. Congratulations to Principal Ayeni and the entire team. Special thank you to the students who hosted a school-wide tour and to all who volunteered!
