The school year started off with a bang today as grade 9 students were greeted by senior T-Crew Leaders.  They participated in a morning filled with fun activities, welcoming them to the AMBUSH.  Our newest TIGERS are ready to earn their stripes.

Woodroffe HS Unveils 50th Anniversary Mural

On Monday, May 17th, Woodroffe High School installed a new outdoor mural on its east wall in honour of the school’s 50th anniversary. The mural’s official unveiling will coincide with the reunion being held from May 27th to the 29th on the school grounds.
 
The mural is seven feet high and over seventy feet in length. It’s comprised of twelve large panels that trace significant events and people that have had an impact on the school and on the world over the past fifty years. The mural includes references to the Arts, athletics, music, technology, cultural phenomena as well as a number of other significant milestones. In addition, it celebrates the spirit of a still vibrant school.
 

The mural project was made possible by a very kind donation from the Woodroffe School Council. It was coordinated by staff members Richard King, Jocelyne Cory, Carolynn Sheu and Christy Stanhope. In addition, fourteen other adults (including staff, family members and friends) and over fifty students from various grades participated in the preparation, planning, painting and mounting of the mural. All those involved in the project should be very proud of their contributions.

School Climate Survey

In response to Bill 157, a School Climate Survey was to be created and sent out to staff, students, and parents/guardians. The purpose of this School Climate survey is to look at addressing the local needs and circumstances as outline in Bill 157 in areas such as: equity and inclusive education, bullying/harassment, including discrimination, sexual harassment, and homophobia, among students at Woodroffe High School. This information will be used to help promote an environment of respect, safety, and belonging for all students. All information in these surveys will be kept confidential. The survey will only take 10 minute of your time. We value your input into our school planning process.
