Principal Message April 16, 2024
Dear École Herbert Spencer Community,
This past week, our school was alive with energy and inspiration as we hosted our student-led conferences. Watching our students take charge of their learning, proudly share their achievements, and reflect on their growth has been truly rewarding. These conferences are more than just conversations—they are moments of empowerment, love, and joy as our students walk your through our learning community.
I would like also like to take a minute thank the Usborne Book Fair Team and the PAC for bring in the Little Miss Coffee Co. for making the 2 days of conferencing just a little more special for families whether looking at books together or sharing a warm beverage, your presence really helped the success of the day.
I want to extend my gratitude to our families for their continued support and encouragement, and to our staff for creating an environment where every student feels valued and heard in a loving, caring and sustainable way. Seeing the meaningful discussions unfold, and the excitement in our students’ voices reminds us of the incredible journey of education.
As we move forward, let’s continue nurturing curiosity, resilience, and a love for learning in every student. Thank you for being part of this vibrant and supportive community—we are stronger together
