Dear HWW Students, Families, and Community members, 

Happy December, everyone! We are pleased to share a new initiative at HWW which you may have seen on our Instagram. In order to continue to elevate our cultural diversity and student voice, we are inviting students to create and share a slide with our Instagram authors to honour an upcoming event or cultural celebration. Currently we have a call out for: 

Hanukkah

Yule

Winter Solstice

(Misamiko'komiaato's)

Guru Gobind Singh Ji

(Jayanti)

Christmas

Kwanzaa

Epiphany

Today we also began our 12 Days of Spirit: 

December 6 Funky Socks Day

December 7 Winter Decoration Dress-Up Day

December 11 Red White & Green Day

December 12 Decades Day

December 13 Anything But a Backpack Day

If you have not yet purchased tickets to our Drama production Dec 5-7 and saved the date for our Band Concert Dec 13, and Dancer Showcase Dec 14, please do so soon! These are very popular events. 

Congrats to our Basketball teams who played in tournaments this past weekend and did lots of learning and bonding. We are looking forward to an excellent season. We are also proud to host our very first Model UN competition this weekend– congratulations to all of our WiseMUN organizers.

To close, as a Staff this Friday we will take part in an important day of professional learning and collaboration, with a focus on assessment and actionable feedback to support high school success for our outstanding Warrior students. 

 

With gratitude, 

Aileen Smyth 

Principal
