🌈 A Splash of School Spirit in Our Rock Garden! 🌿
Come check out our vibrant new rock garden! Each painted rock represents one of our school’s colour houses, adding a cheerful burst of spirit and unity to the space. These colourful symbols are more than just decoration—they’re a reminder of the community, pride, and sense of belonging that connect us all. 💛💚💙❤️
Merci à Mme Wernham pour avoir organisé.
Don't forget to wear your favourite jersey or team shirt today!
Grade 8 students are preparing for grad in today's art class with Mme Davis. Students are channeling their inner Da Vinci, painting portraits of their classmates to display at their graduation.
So maybe this week's weather doesn't have you thinking about freezies, but by June, it will be a nice refreshing treat!
We look forward to welcoming our newest Dragons to the school on May 28th from 4 p.m to 7 p.m. All registrants will receive a Hillcrest t-shirt. There is still time to register if you know of someone who will be starting school in September. If you have questions about the French Immersion program, please contact the office or come visit us on the 28th to speak to one of our educators!
We're here at Heidi's Independent serving up tasting burgers and hot dogs. Come get your lunch!

Today M. Triest's students invited classes to play the math probability games they created. Students deepened their understanding of probability concepts through real-world application, and mathematical communication. Bravo, les amis!

Students from Mme Nesbitt's class were graciously invited to Bear Creek Residence to join our neighbours in some fun outdoor activities.

Thank you to the staff at Bear Creek for organizing this wonderful opportunity for our students to get to know our neighbours.
Our Grade 7 and 8 students proudly display and explain their science projects to the younger classes today. Everyone is encouraged to view them tonight at our Families Learning Together event from 4 p.m - 6:30 p.m. We have some real budding scientists here at Hillcrest!
We are looking forward to a day outside together! Hope you can join us.
Come, join us!
Great work today, Dragons! In honour of Earth Month, students from Hillcrest did their part to clean up the community. We spread out and cleaned up many neighbourhoods in town, collecting over 20 bags of garbage along the way. You have made our community a little bit nicer for everyone to enjoy!
It's election day! Students are casting their ballot today in Student Vote Canada. The importance of civics starts young and our students have been following the campaign and staying informed.
Lost and Found items ready to make their way back to your home.

Today, St.Clair Conservation Area came to share their Spring Water Awareness program with our primary students. The program focuses on the hazards associated with the cold, deep and fast-flowing waters of the season and engages students through age-appropriate and curriculum-connected experiments, activities and games that take place in the schoolyard.
Congratulations to our junior boys and girls basketball teams on their successful first season. It was great to be able to offer this opportunity to our junior students this year. Thank you to Coach Chalupka and Kennefick for your leadership.
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.
