Our NLSS Wrestling Program would like to thank Jackpot Time for their assistance with our OFSSAA Wrestling Athletes. The athletes had tremendous success and enjoyed their experiences.
Our Music Department put on a great show last night at the Kineto Theatre. The band played many songs from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park etc. The Kineto Theatre played clips of the movies as the students played the theme songs. What a great venue and fantastic performances by all. Thanks to all of our guests that raised $700 toward our Music Department for instrument repairs and music supplies for the band. Thanks to Mr. MacDougall and to Mrs. Sheffield for conducting the band and putting the night together. Thanks also to the staff at the Kineto Theatre for hosting the event.
Our Music and Drama Department at NLSS would like to thank the Forest Legion and the Forest Optimist Club. Two donations for the school's programs that will help keep our musicians and actors supplied with the supplies they need. Thank you so much!
Last week some of our geography classes went on a field trip learning about the Lake Erie watershed. Students learned about the Great Lakes and how pollutants end up as run off into creeks and rivers. Students also examined invasive species that have moved into the areas. Students also engaged in a water walk and had a traditional Indigenous lunch. Thanks to all that helped organize.

Eagles Wrestling is proud to offer an opportunity for our Elementary Feeder schools. We are offering 4 sessions on the mat at North Lambton Secondary School for students in grades 3 - 8 in April to get experience with this incredible sport. Please see the poster for details.
The NLSS Wrestling team had an incredible season this year! With our largest team ever—over 40 wrestlers on the roster—the program continues to grow and showcase the hard work and dedication of our athletes.
From this strong group, 14 wrestlers qualified for SWOSSAA, representing our school at the regional level. An extra special congratulations goes to Eddie Moons, Bailey Dortmans, and Daphne Farr, who advanced to OFSAA Wrestling, competing against the best wrestlers in the province.
At OFSAA, all three athletes represented NLSS with determination and grit. Each wrestler earned at least two match victories, and together they recorded five pins against tough provincial competition. Their performances were a great example of the perseverance and toughness that defines NLSS Wrestling.
Congratulations to all of our wrestlers on an outstanding season, and a big thank you to everyone who supported the team along the way! 💪🤼♂️

Dear Secondary School Students,
As you head into your exams over the next few days, I want to take a moment to send you my very best wishes. Exam time can feel busy and sometimes a bit stressful, but it’s also an opportunity to show what you’ve learned, take pride in your growth, and finish this part of the school year strong.
We are proud of the effort, determination, and resilience you bring to your learning every day. Whether this is your first exam period or one of your last before graduation, please remember: you’ve worked hard, you’ve prepared, and you are capable.
To the families and staff supporting our students—thank you. Your encouragement, guidance, and steady presence make a tremendous difference, especially during times like this.
Students, as you move through the week, take care of yourselves. Rest when you can, ask for help if you need it, and trust in the work you’ve put in. We believe in you, and we’re cheering you on.
Good luck!

Good morning all, please see the revised NLSS Exam Schedule (revised on Jan 26th, 2026). If weather impacts any of the next few days, we will let you know of any further changes.
Revised Exam Schedule for LKDSB Secondary Schools
After carefully considering student well-being and a thorough review of multiple factors, the following is the revised exam schedule for Semester 1 for all Lambton Kent District School Board secondary schools.
Period A Exams: Tuesday, January 27
Period B Exams: Wednesday, January 28
Period C Exams: Thursday, January 29
Period D Exams: Monday, February 2
The Secondary PA Day originally scheduled for Friday, January 30 will remain a PA Day as planned.
Accordingly, Semester 2 will now begin on Tuesday, February 3.
This decision was made carefully and intentionally, following a thorough review of operational logistics, and system-wide implications. It was important that the decision be applied consistently across the entire Board to ensure clarity, fairness, and stability for all students, staff, and families.
Maintaining this structure also ensures that students are not required to write two exams in a single day, supporting their well‑being and academic success. In addition, this adjustment reflects what is best for our students and families, many of whom have already made essential arrangements based on the scheduled PA Day.
Thank you to our students, staff, and families for your cooperation, flexibility, and continued support as we work through these adjustments together.
