To better engage our families and community, we are updating our approach to recognizing Days of Significance on social media. In the past, the Communications team has posted individually about each observance on our Days of Significance Calendar (including Religious/Spiritual High Holidays).

Starting in January 2025, we shifted to creating a monthly video that highlights all the significant days, weeks, and months we’re observing and sharing on social media.

Key updates included new Pathways initiatives, such as trade workshops and the Electrical for Women course. Director Graham Shantz thanked staff for their efforts during recent snowstorms, particularly custodial teams. Student Trustee Alexandra Haviaras provided an update on mental health initiatives and a new survey project. Chair Michael Bannerman extended holiday thanks to staff and the community. Lastly, Superintendent Cheri Carter announced the recruitment for the North Perth Boundary Review Committee, with the first meeting in January 2025.

Mark your calendars for our (virtual) French Immersion Information Night on January 15, 2025 at 7:00pm! Learn more about the program and how to register.

AMDSB and Conestoga College are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the inaugural Electrical for Women Dual Credit course. This innovative program provided young women from AMDSB secondary schools the opportunity to explore Residential and Industrial Electrical studies, giving them both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in the electrical trade.

September - October OSITN does not disappoint; Community Engagement and Support, Education and Development, School Infrastructure and Expansion, Sports Achievements, Trustee Positions and Governance, Challenges and Accountability, Support for Vulnerable Groups and more.

At AMDSB, we’re committed to fostering a community where every voice is valued. This year, we’re continuing our partnership with unlearn. to empower students interested in leadership and social justice. Recently, students from our secondary schools and Stratford Secondary School (SIS) gathered at the Brodhagen Community Centre for an inspiring workshop focused on student voice and that used graphic design as a way to provoke thoughtful discussions.
