Students showcased their talents at the Coffee House evening, with all funds raised going towards Relay for Life. Our students raised over $40, 000 for cancer research - AMAZING! This past Thursday we enjoyed our annual Carnival Day, an afternoon filled with laughter, fun, movement, and community building. As we look ahead to June, we can't wait to celebrate the many accomplishments of our students. Events such as the LCVI Recognition Celebration, the School to Community year-end celebration, and Graduation will provide opportunities for us to reflect on the school year and honour our students' contributions and achievements. Exams will be here in just a few weeks. We encourage our students to finish the semester strong with consistent attendance and excellent learning skills. As we head into the final weeks, thank you for your continued support at home and in our school community. <hr><h2 class="editor-heading-h2">Upcoming School Events</h2>May 25<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">School Advisory Council Meeting 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm</li></ul>May 29<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">PA Day (no school for students)</li></ul>June 3<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">Staff Appreciation Day & Bus Driver Appreciation Day (organized by School Advisory Council)</li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem">Recognition Celebration starting at 5:30 pm</li></ul>June 12<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">School to Community Year End Celebration</li></ul>June 16<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">Grade 12 Final Summative Evaluations Begin</li></ul>June 18-24<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">Exams & Final Summatives</li></ul>June 25<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">Graduation 3:00 pm in LCVI Gymnasium</li></ul>June 26<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem">PA Day</li></ul><hr><h2 class="editor-heading-h2">Lancers In Action</h2><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" style="text-align: start;">Badminton Update</h3>Congratulations to LC's Junior Badminton team for winning the KASSAA Team Trophy for the second season in a row and to our KASSAA event champions: Mallory, Sadie & Zynah, and Fred & Liam.LCVI Badminton Team had an outstanding performance winning both the Junior and Senior KASSAA Championships this season!

Students may react in different ways depending on their age, experiences, and how connected they feel to the situation. With time, reassurance, and support from caring adults, these reactions often ease.We encourage families to keep lines of communication open at home, to invite questions, and to offer reassurance as needed.

Grade 12 Exit Survey

As part of Ontario Ministry of Education expectations, all graduating students are provided with an opportunity to complete a Grade 12 Exit Survey. This survey gives students the chance to share their experiences in secondary school, their plans after graduation, and how prepared they feel for their next steps.The information collected helps schools and the Limestone District School Board better understand student needs and improve programs, guidance supports, and transition planning. In particular, the results are used to strengthen pathways into postsecondary education, apprenticeships, work, and community life, and to ensure future students are well-supported as they move beyond high school.The survey is voluntary and anonymous. All responses are combined and reported in a summarized format to protect student privacy. Results are used for system planning and are shared with school staff, and board leadership to support ongoing improvement.
