Last week Mrs. Stairs and Mr. Simmonds received service awards for their years of service to our school community.

Mrs. Stairs celebrated 40 years, a remarkable achievement, supporting students and staff.   We can't thank her enough for her outstanding commitment!

This weekend (May 2-4) was the annual High School Ringette Showdown! We have 4 students (Abby Trudel, Sophia Barnaby, Ava James and Callie Decoste) who represented CHDHS on a Combined team with Island View High School!  Everyone enjoyed the Showdown.

Coffee House May 9 was a great success – thanks goes out to the Coffee House Committee and Ms Cusson for all their hard work.  Everyone had a great time and lots of fun.

Cole Harbour District High School welcomed Elder Geri Leblanc with open hearts and minds to speak her truth on Indigenous culture. Elder Geri shared knowledge on Indigenous history, teachings she lives by, ceremonies, and how Indigenous practices differ from religious practices.

We were grateful to receive a generous donation from Mr. John Stewart and the Westphal - Cole Harbour Fire Fighters Association . Their contribution of books to our school library is an invaluable gift that will enhance the learning opportunities available to our students.

As part of our celebration of African Heritage Month, we had the privilege of hosting Mr. Kenneth Fells for a special   presentation.

Indigenous students at CHDH took a field trip to Asitu'lisk (That Which Gives You Balance) in January. Students visited the ancient Grandmother Maple over 500 years old, offering her tobacco ties to take their prayers and wishes.
