Cole Harbour District High School Weekly Update
Friday, October 3, 2025
Good Evening Cole Harbour District High School Families,
It’s been a busy week at CHDHS despite the short schedule. On Thursday night, our Cav Girls volleyball team triumphed over École Du Sommet in an exciting match, winning 2 sets to 1. Later that evening, we hosted a well-attended meeting for the upcoming Italy 2027 Europe Trip, sparking plenty of excitement among those planning to join the adventure. Wednesday was another eventful day, with our Girls soccer team playing a hard-fought 1-1 draw against École Du Sommet. In addition, our Indigenous Student Leadership group organized a moving Treaty Day Assembly for the school, providing an important learning opportunity for everyone.
As we wrap up the week, we’re looking forward to tonight's Games Night, where students and their friends will gather for some fun and friendly competition. It's been a packed three days, showcasing the energy and spirit of our school community. Looking ahead, on Tuesday, October 7, we’ll hold our first SAC meeting of the year at 6:30 pm in the conference room. It's a great opportunity for parents or guardians to get involved in shaping the direction of our school.
If you're interested in joining the SAC this year, feel free to reach out to me via email at rreddick@hrce.ca. We welcome anyone passionate about contributing to the school’s success and community spirit!
Once again, thanks for letting us be part of your student’s educational experience. Have an enjoyable and safe weekend.
Mr. Reddick

Good Evening Cole Harbour District High School Families,
Please note that Monday, September 29th is a PD day and Tuesday, September 30th is National Truth and Reconciliation day, which means there is no school for students on Monday or Tuesday of next week.
Grade 10 students who attended Sir Robert Borden Junior High are asked to return any athletic jerseys to the Cole harbour High main office. Missing sports jerseys are affecting their fall sports programs and they need our help.
We are very proud of our Indigenous student leadership group led by Kayla Lambert-MacDonald who toured local feeder schools with a presentation about Truth and Reconciliation on Friday, September 26th. We are looking forward to our own full school assembly on Wednesday, October 1st where those students will share their wisdom and cultural understanding with all Cavaliers so we can celebrate Treaty Day and honor the Truth and Reconciliation process.
Our first Games night is next Friday October 3rd 6:30-9 p.m. where students and community members grades 9-12 are welcome to come to Cole Harbour District High School to participate in a Super Smash Bros Tournament on the Nintendo switch, play Dungeons and Dragons and other table top games as well as paint fantasy miniatures. There are open tables for other games as well. The cost is $5 to support our Improv Team this year.
Our first Pep rally was a smash hit this year on Wednesday, September 24th in the afternoon featuring a students vs teachers volleyball game where the women's volleyball team crushed the teachers in the first set, only to fall behind in the second set as time expired and both sides had to settle for a draw. All classes attended and it was an over the top spectacle with in game interviews, some epic rallies, and good natured fun had by all. A big thanks to our Student Council for running such an amazing event.
All Grade 10 students should have received their free spirit wear from the office today. Now all students have Cavs Equity and Respect shirts they can proudly wear on spirit days and school events.
On Thursday Oct 2nd, the post-secondary options AARAO fair will happen in the morning in our gym and cafeteria where students can explore and meet with a wide variety of institutions to think about and plan for their post-secondary lives.
