Wear BLUE for World Diabetes Day! 💙
Let’s unite as a school community to show our support for everyone affected by diabetes—students, staff, and families—by wearing blue on November 14th for World Diabetes Day. This year’s theme is “Diabetes and Well-being,” reminding us that diabetes impacts not just our bodies, but our minds and emotions too. By wearing blue, we help raise awareness, fight stigma, and spread compassion for those managing diabetes every day. Thank you for helping us create a supportive and caring environment!

Our grade 6 students went up town to the Cenotaph to observe the Legion Remembrance Day ceremony.
Please join us on November 11th for our Remembrance Day service.
A huge thank you to Chad Solomon for sharing his incredible storytelling skills and bringing Rabbit and Bear Paws to life for us! The stories—rooted in Indigenous teachings—were filled with laughter, learning, and such heart. The interactive puppet show not only entertained, but also opened up meaningful conversations about tradition, respect, and community. We are so grateful for the experience and the chance to share the joy (and giggles!) with our group. Thank you, Chad, for reminding us that laughter truly is the best medicine and that everyone, young or old, can learn from a good story. Meegwetch!
Lots of fun activities and events yesterday at TAPS!
What an inspiring day! Our Grade 7 and 8 students had the incredible opportunity to explore over 140 skilled trades at the Level Up Skilled Trades Fair. From hands-on activities to talking with real tradespeople, students learned first-hand about exciting future career paths in construction, technology, service, and more.
We’re so proud of their curiosity, engagement, and willingness to try something new. Check out these photos of our students discovering what the skilled trades have to offer!
