Lake Hill Spotlight
2011-12 School Year
Lake Hill Student Leadership Each September all Grade 5 students start the year by attending a Leadership Retreat/Sleepover in our school gym. Students work on various team building activities and receive training from our school staff, police liaison officer and school counsellor. Leadership Students have many roles at Lake Hill School including; monitoring, mentoring, fundraising, coordinating school events and hosting our assemblies and ceremonies. What a great Leadership Team we have this year! Check out some of the many ways they help create a positive school environment and sense of community for us all..... |

Lake Hill Gardening Students of Lake Hill School had a busy fall preparing our native bed for winter, organizing our Terry Fox Daffodil garden, planting spring bulbs and daylilies. Our spring blossoms were beautiful! Lake Hill Garden Club members toured other schools and greenspaces to learn more about what we can bring to our own Lake Hill School. We have also learned about native and non-native species. Next is working with our PAC to plan for our newest playground/green space. Thank you to each of our students who participate in Garden Club and who work so hard at our school. Thank you also to Mrs. McAuliffe, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Kewley and Mr. Harrison for their leadership. |
