Principal’s Message – February 21st
Dear École Herbert Spencer Community!
I returned to the school today as my leave has been postponed until early April. I would like to thank Ken Headley for his support this week and last! We will likely see Ken again in early April but I will provide an update confirming the plan for Administrative support closer to the date. Thank you for your understanding and patience!
Ms Erin Bannister joins our team on Monday, February 24th! Erin is our new Vice Principal until Ms Hare’s return in September of 2026. Ms Bannister brings a wealth of knowledge to our team with years of experience supporting our most vulnerable learners as a Resource Teacher in our District. Congratulations on your recent appointment to our District Administrative Pool and new role at École Herbert Spencer! Welcome to the team- we are so lucky to have you.
