Congratulations to our North Lambton Senior Girls Basketball Team for winning their second straight LKSSAA title, this year in the AA league. The girls claimed the title after a convincing win over JMSS last night! We wish them luck as they will now play the SWOSSAA Championship Wednesday, Nov 12th (game time not set yet).
Our Students took place in skilled trades learning on Tuesday. We had two groups; our Women in Skilled Trades and Plumbing and Pipe Fitting. The students completed different activities looking at experiencing some of the trades.
The Ontario Skills Trades & Tech Truck was at NLSS on Tuesday. Students in different classes were able to visit the truck and participate in the many activities that simulate skilled trades. Thanks so much to Randy and Jesse for making a stop here before they travel to the Bruce Peninsula!
Thanks to our Arts and Culture SHSM program, NLSS students participated in a Cyanotype Printmaking Workshop hosted by the Forest Museum. They created some very impressive pieces of art using a printmaking method discovered 183 years ago. Thank you to the Kiwanis for the use of the Kineto and to NLSS alumni Jenny Buchanan and Amy Jennings for assisting.
Happy Halloween from NLSS!!
Jesse Searson brought his dragster in to the automotive technology class at NLSS. Students were able to ask Jesse questions and to experience what it is like riding in the car. Jesse made it to the Winner's Circle at the Grand Bend Motoplex. Thanks to Jesse for volunteering his time to come to the school!

🚀 Exciting Opportunities with LKDSB’s Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) Program!
Students at Lambton Kent District School Board (LKDSB) have the chance to gain hands-on experience and industry-recognized certifications through the Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program. Open to Grade 11 and 12 students, SHSM allows them to explore career pathways in sectors like Construction, Agriculture, Manufacturing, and more—all while earning their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
Through sector-specific courses, cooperative education placements, and certifications such as First Aid/CPR, Forklift Training, and Working at Heights, students develop valuable skills that prepare them for the workforce, apprenticeships, college, or university. Completing the program also earns them a Red Seal designation on their diploma, highlighting their specialized training.
Each LKDSB school tailors its SHSM offerings to student interests, providing opportunities to connect with industry professionals and local businesses. The program is completely free for families and helps students explore potential careers before they graduate.

It’s an opportunity for students, families, and communities to learn, celebrate, and be inspired by the remarkable individuals who’ve shaped our past—and continue to shape our future.
We invite you to explore the rich history of Black Canadians, including the powerful stories from our own local communities. Together, let’s build a more inclusive, compassionate, and prosperous Canada, today and every day!✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
