When our students use hands-on tools and math games, abstract concept suddenly makes sense. Instead of just writing equations on paper, they get to see, touch, and explore numbers in real time. Take a look at our learners in action

🏅 HISTORY IN MOTION
The starter’s horn sounded at Great Lakes Secondary School—and with it, a new LKDSB tradition was born.
For the first time, 531 elementary student athletes from across our entire bard came together for a unified Track & Field Meet— with representation stretching from Wheatley to Grand Bend.
From powerful sprints to soaring jumps and electrifying relays, the day was filled with determination, sportsmanship, and unforgettable moments. Even more impactful? Students competing alongside peers they’d never met before, building connections that reached far beyond the finish line.
This wasn’t just a meet—it was the beginning of something bigger for LKDSB students.
👉 Read the full story and relive the day in our newsroom: https://www.lkdsb.net/article/16594

*More great photos to come!

Our grade 5s at Racing Against Drugs. It's a community based drug and alcohol awareness program developed in partnership with the RCMP, local police services, local businesses, representatives of the school boards and local health and drug education agencies. The primary objective of the drug education initiative was to utilize the sport of auto racing to capture the attention of our Grade 5s and communicate with them. Through an exciting and high profile sport, one with no tolerance for substance abuse, students learned about the pitfalls of drugs.
