It was big smiles on this sunny spring day when we got the approval to open our brand-new play equipment.
This equipment is the result of years of fundraising from our school community and School Council. We would also like to acknowledge our partnership with Jackpot Time for their continuous support through Bingo fundraising.

Congratulations to the Hillcrest e-sports team for representing us at the Lambton College tournament tonight. You played hard and represented us well in our inaugural season. Un grand merci à M. Woltz and Parliament for bringing this to us and providing so many students the opportunity to participate in intramurals.




Using linking cubes to explore area in math is a great way for students to understand an abstract concept. Students built shapes and counted the cubes to discover that area is really just the number of square units that cover a surface. Learning through exploration is the best way to make it stick!

Let's light it up blue this Wednesday!


Learning takes many forms, sparking curiosity in unexpected places. When children explore, create, and discover in their own ways, every moment becomes an opportunity to grow.




Today was Colour House Day. Students joined their group to make spring decorations that will be shared with our neighbours at Bear Creek Terrace. We hope that these signs of spring bring joy to the residents.









In case you haven't seen or heard about the most exciting thing at Hillcrest this week. The anticipation is building...it won't be long now.


Remember to dress in your colour on Monday as we get together with our group for a spring-themed activity that is sure to spread joy!

Tomorrow is World Down Syndrome Day. Let's see those wild, colourful, unique, mismatched, crazy socks!


Now that we have had some warmer days, the students are eager to get digging in the sand box again. However, we are in need of some sands toys. If you have any at your house that you are no longer using, we would graciously accept them here. Thank you for considering this request.


Joyeux Mardi Gras! Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Hazzard and all of our parent volunteers for the delicious crêpes today. Students and staff got into the spirit of the day et ont laissé les bons temps rouler. 📿🥞🎭











Popcorn day has been moved to Wednesday this week to make room for those delicious crêpes!

🌍 **Celebrating Francophone Month!** 🎉

This month, we honour the richness of the French-speaking world, embracing the variety of voices and traditions that make the language and the people who speak it so unique.
Let’s continue to explore and celebrate the global francophone community! 🌏❤️
