Our AcadeCap community continues to show its commitment to making a real difference. Over the past month, we have collected donations from our students, families, and staff to support Shawna’s Outreach — a local initiative that provides essential items to individuals experiencing homelessness, including socks, pre-packaged snacks, warm coats, sleeping bags, and more.
Thank you to those who donated!
- AcadeHack is almost here!
M. Kidane is excited to share this special event with our students and families. A hackathon is a fun, free coding challenge where students build creative projects.
On November 28th, the morning will include a coding scavenger hunt and unplugged activities. AcadeHack officially begins at noon as students form teams and choose their challenges. Categories include Game Design, Animation, Engineering, Electronics, and more! Workshops may include HTML/CSS, Scratch Animation, and 3D Printing.
Our K–1 learners will enjoy hands-on iSTEAM activities to build early coding skills. Grades 3–6 will work until 4:00 pm, and Grades 7–12 have the option to stay overnight.
Mentors will be on site to guide students, run mini-workshops, and keep the momentum going.
Go AcadeHackers!

- Orange Shirt Day
As part of our school-wide recognition of Truth and Reconciliation, students across all ages reflected on the history and ongoing impact of residential schools in Canada. Through guided discussions and shared learning, they explored the importance of honouring the children who were taken from their families, the resilience of Indigenous communities, and our collective responsibility to seek truth, healing, and justice.
Inspired by the teachings of butterflies, sunflowers, and hummingbirds, students created artwork representing transformation, remembrance, and resilience. These natural symbols carry both ecological importance and deep Indigenous significance, reminding us to face the past with truth and move forward with hope.
