What a season! Well done to our Cross Country Viking Team!





Students in Mr. Petruniak's class were visited by River City Vineyard's manager Audrey Kelway who provided an overview of the local unhoused community and how her organization supports those in need. The class made a donation to their food bank.
Vikings were also focused on our greater school community by donating socks and funds to the RiverCity Vineyard for our annual school event Socktober.


This week our 4U students were germinating pea cells and learning about cell respiration. Our SHSM students took part in First Aid certification.





Today we welcomed our incoming 2026 Grade 8 students to the Viking Family! A day filled with subject demonstrations, games, tours, and an Alumni lunch to get the dish on being a grade 9 student at Northern. Can't wait to see you ALL in September! Welcome Future Vikings!

On October 27th, Fire Engine #3 from the new Colborne Station and Rescue 1 from the East Street Station assisted at Northern Collegiate to demonstrate their life-saving equipment used during automotive accidents. The Honda Odyssey used in the demonstration was generously donated by a staff member here at Northern. The firefighters took their time to explain the tools and how on-the-spot problem-solving helps them through their toughest jobs. They demonstrated several vehicle recovery techniques, including removing the doors to provide easier access to injured occupants, and using the Jaws of Life to move large parts of the vehicle—such as the dashboard—away from an occupant’s lower body during a rescue. Thank you again to Station #1 and Station #3 for spending time with us today and for continuing to connect with our community.
