In June, the Safety and Well Being department hosted the closing ceremony and conference for FUSION (Fostering Unity, Safety, Inclusion and ONeness) 2025-2026. Students in Grades 4-8 shared their school accomplishments in carrying out plans they made last school year for student-led change.
By turning their ideas into action, students demonstrated the power of youth leadership while achieving meaningful goals and creating safer, more caring, and equitable school communities.
In June, West Credit Secondary School had the grand opening of their brand new STAC (Science Technology Application Centre) Hub Innovation Accelerator. This new hub space was designed to service their school community and that of its feeder schools.
STAC is a dynamic program designed to provide hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences for students. Through engaging, real-world projects, it equips students with the essential skills and competencies they need to become confident and creative thinkers.
STAC is more than just a program; it's a hub of innovation where students can explore their passions in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.

The event brought the community together, creating a vibrant space where learning, connection, and community flourished. Families exchanged ideas, asked questions, and celebrated each step of the cooking process, leaving them inspired to try something new at home.
