Our grade 4/5-8 High Park Panthers were truly grateful for the opportunity to hear from residential school survivor Lila, who generously shared her story, wisdom, and lived experiences with us.
Our students asked many thoughtful questions as they sought to understand more.
Her words remind us that education is about more than learning history; it is about listening with open hearts, honouring the experiences of others, and taking responsibility for building a more compassionate and inclusive future.
Thank you, Lila, for sharing your story with our High Park community and helping our Panthers learn, reflect, and grow.



Friday, October 30, is our next Panther Spirit Day!

Our Panthers from JK to Grade 8 enjoyed an engaging bus safety presentation. Older students participated in the Rider Role Model presentation, and all students had the opportunity to practise safely evacuating a school bus.
Students were reminded that safety is a shared responsibility and that our school and community partners work together to keep everyone safe!

Our High Park Panthers are learning that fire safety starts with awareness and preparation!
This Fire Prevention Week, we encourage all students and families to talk about fire safety at home, practise a home fire escape plan, check smoke alarms, and make sure everyone knows what to do in an emergency.
A few simple steps can make a big difference in keeping our families and communities safe! 🏠




Thank you to Staples and Kiwanis Golden K. Our students appreciate the back to school supplies.

We are incredibly grateful for their amazingly generous donation of backpacks to help our students get ready for September!
Every single bag was meticulously packed with love and care, tailored perfectly for students from Kindergarten all the way to Grade 8. Our kids are going to be so well-prepared with water bottles, pencil crayons, pencils, glue, tape, writing books—and they even thought ahead for the colder months with cozy winter hats and mitts! ❄️✏️ ...and MUCH MORE!
Community partners like IODE Sarnia make all the difference in ensuring our students walk through the doors on day one feeling confident, equipped, and ready to learn. Thank you for your incredible support! ❤️
