LCVI is an amazing place because of our strong community, and we are so proud of our students for the grit, growth, and gratitude they showed all year long. Across classrooms, co-op placements, clubs, teams, performances, competitions, and community events, rich learning was happening every day as students challenged themselves, discovered new strengths, and worked toward meaningful goals.This year was filled with special moments we will not soon forget, including Grade 9 Getaway, Matilda the Musical, the senior boys basketball buy-in quarter-final game, spirit days, Global Fusion Week, the 45th annual Road Race, special assemblies, Midnight on the Marsh semi-formal, athletic events, DECA achievements, the ski trip to Camp Fortune, Skills Competition, Career Fair, Special Olympics tournaments, the Spring Fling dance, Robotics, Carnival, Relay for Life, and so much more. Seeing students jump in, lead, persevere, reach their goals, and try something new, whether on a stage, on a team, in a club, in the classroom, or simply by showing up for a friend, was inspiring. We are grateful to our dedicated staff for the time, care, and energy they pour into creating these opportunities and supporting students every day. We also thank our families for your ongoing support and partnership throughout the year.We wish everyone a safe, restful, and joy-filled summer.The Administration TeamMargaret Connelly, Elizabeth Yanch, Michelle Leake, & Adam Andrecyk<hr><h2 class="editor-heading-h2">Congratulation to our Graduates!</h2>Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

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.
