Brand Survey & Construction Update
Refreshing the Brand: Survey Update
I want to thank those parents who responded to our recent survey about the school’s current visual identity. Close to 600 students, staff, parents, former parents and alumni participated in the survey. The results included a wide range of responses, including impassioned comments about what’s important to preserve about our identity, and where there might be opportunity for change. We have created an advisory group composed of students, a current and former parent, staff members, and alumni to help guide the process; their first step will be meeting to analyze the survey results and discuss its implications. I will keep the community updated on the process throughout the spring.

Construction Update
We continue to make good progress on the new building. The building is now fully enclosed and work is proceeding on the interior. We continue to target the end of May or early June as our substantial completion date. About 40 workers are on-site on a daily basis. Though we have made some changes to the building since the design stage, the project remains on budget.
Here are two videos from my phone that give you some sense of the state of construction. The first is of the new gym and change rooms, while the second clip looks at the new arts spaces in the basement.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
