Hello Cavalier Parents and Guardians,
Prom is over, and it was amazing! We are so appreciative of our Student Council Executive and an amazing group of parent volunteers led by Jody Johansson, Julie Maclean, Jill Gallant, Patricia Thoms and Katrina McGillivray for the design, setup and takedown. We can't name all of the many parents who made our prom so wonderful but we can thank you for your time, effort, and care for our students. Thank you! Students danced the night away in the enchanted forest with a full buffet of sweets, sandwiches and beverages and many photos were taken with the amazing decor on display. It was pure magic and we have all of you to thank.
We also wish our Boys Softball team good luck as they are currently playing in the provincial softball tournament in Yarmouth.
Cole Harbour is officially an IBCP/DP school. This prestigious certification allows us to offer even more high level specialized programming for our students. There is still room in our grade 11 IB Marine Systems & Sustainability and Business & Project Management pathways. Reach out to us for more information.
We now turn our focus to exams on June 22-25th. Students should have heard from their teachers what the final assessments will look like and when they are. Students should make sure all course work is completed to maximize their success before the end of the semester.
Graduation is June 29th at 10 a.m. at Cole Harbour District High School. Students should have picked up their 4 tickets at the main office as well as their cap and gown. We will be reaching out to families who have asked for extras shortly.
Have a great weekend,

Good Evening Cole Harbour District High School Families,
It is hard to believe that we are entering the last month of our school year. With just a few weeks left before exams it is important that your student/s continue to complete their necessary work. As the year progresses we have a few major events coming up for graduating students.
Grad Information
Grade 12 prom will be happening next Thursday, June 4 from 7:30pm-10:30pm.
Graduation BBQ will be held on Friday, June 12.
Our CHDHS Graduation Ceremony will take place on Monday, June 29 at 10:00am in our gym.
Tickets for the ceremony can be picked up at the main office.

Sports
Both our boys and girls rugby teams played their last games of the season this week. Also, our girls and boys softball teams completed their regular season tournaments. The boys have qualified for the Nova Scotia High School Provincial Championships June 5 & 6 in Yarmouth.
This weekend Ryan Giles and Gefe Eneremadu will compete at the Nova Scotia Provincial Track & Field Championships. I want to thank all the athletes and coaches who participated in our school sports for doing a great job of representing our Cavalier School Community throughout the 2025-2026 school year. Great Job CAVS!

THANK YOU COMMUNITY
Yesterday’s plant sale at Cole Harbour District High School raised $615 for school supplies at Robert Kemp Turner Elementary School. This support will help 113 students (give or take a kid) heading into the next school year.
(Last sale raised $426.10 for CHDHS learning centre as well)
Thank you to everyone who came out, bought plants, donated, and supported our students and the Community Roots Engagement and Wellness (C.R.E.W.) Program.
While some students ran the plant sale today, others cleaned and prepared garden beds that will be filled with vegetables and herbs in mid June for community members to access freely. Any produce left throughout the season will be harvested, bagged, and donated to the Cole Harbour Community Fridge.
Yesterday was also busy, with elementary students working alongside high school students to build new garden beds for Robert Kemp Turner Elementary School. These beds will be installed next week.
Sir Robert Borden students are also preparing for a large garden clean-up and expansion project. Students will clean and prepare existing beds while also building two new garden beds for the space.
Over the next two weeks, five local schools will receive benches (thanks to Marco, CHDHS Skills Trades teacher, and his student volunteers hard work and effort) compost bins, water barrels, garden beds, soil, and plants as the project continues to grow.
Our students have been putting in a lot of work, and we are proud of everything they are building together.
We also want to thank the students, volunteers, and administration teams across all participating schools for their continued support and hard work throughout this project.
Welalin / Thank you for supporting our youth and our community

Once again, thanks for letting us be part of your student’s education journey. Have a wonderful and safe weekend.
Mr. Reddick
