Richmond Hill Montessori Private School

RHMS students in Grades 5-8 participated in the University of Waterloo’s Gauss Mathematics Contest.

The Guass Mathematics Contests are popular multiple-choice competitions designed to introduce students to mathematical problem-solving in an engaging and challenging way. Administered by the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) at the University of Waterloo, the contest encourages students to apply critical thinking skills and explore mathematics beyond the classroom.

We are proud of all of our students who took part in this year’s contest and commend them for their dedication and enthusiasm for mathematics. We wish all of our participants the very best of luck as they await their results and look forward to celebrating their accomplishments in the weeks ahead.

The RHMS Robotics Team recently competed at the Skills Ontario Competition, where they proudly placed 5th overall out of 20 competing teams. Students participated in the exciting VEX IQ Mix and Match challenge, where teams were required to design, build, and program a robot to compete against other teams for the highest scores.

In addition to the driver-controlled competition, students also created a fully autonomous version of their robot that could complete tasks independently without the use of a controller or driver. This required strong problem-solving, coding, teamwork, and engineering skills.

Congratulations to our talented RHMS Robotics Team for their outstanding achievement at Skills Ontario. We are incredibly proud of their dedication and success!

RHMS students participated in the Royal Canadian Legion’s National Youth Remembrance Day Competition. Students attended an awards reception at the Royal Canadian Legion in Richmond Hill to recognize their outstanding achievements. Elementary students submitted creative entries in both the Poster and Literary categories, demonstrating their understanding of the sacrifices made by Canadian veterans.

We are pleased to congratulate our talented students. RHMS students earned both First and Second Place in the poster categories and third place in the literary category. In addition, students advanced to the Zone level, where they achieved Second Place recognition in the poster category. We are incredibly proud of all participants for representing RHMS with excellence and for helping keep the spirit of remembrance alive within our community.

The RHMS Eco Club organized the RHMS Book Exchange for students in Grades 3 to 6. In preparation for the event, Eco Club members promoted the initiative throughout the school with the slogan, “Leave a book, take a book,” encouraging students to donate gently used books and discover new stories to enjoy.

The Book Exchange was a wonderful opportunity for students to share their love of reading while learning about the importance of sustainability and reducing waste. By giving books a second life, students helped keep books out of landfills and ensured they could find a new home with another reader in our school community. The event was filled with excitement as students explored different genres, exchanged favourite titles, and discovered new authors. Their efforts helped promote environmental responsibility while bringing everyone together through the joy of reading.

RHMS held our 4th annual RHMS Talk Night showcasing the presentations of our Grade 8 students. Parents, families and friends were invited to join us as students confidently shared their knowledge, passions and perspectives with an authentic audience. Throughout the event, attendees had the opportunity to select topics of interest and rotate between a variety of engaging student led talks and presentations.

The students inspired guests with powerful messages about perseverance, leadership and reaching goals. They proudly showed their creativity, confidence and communication skills that they developed throughout their RHMS journey.

This meaningful event provided students with a valuable opportunity to express themselves, connect with the community and celebrate their achievements in an inspiring way.

Kind Reminder: RHMS will be closed on Monday, May 18th, 2026 in observance of Victoria Day. Classes will resume on Tuesday, May 19th, 2026.

We wish all of our families a safe, happy, and relaxing long weekend!

RHMS Grade 4 students proudly participated in the Sustainability STEM Expo, where they showcased a variety of creative and innovative projects focused on important global topics such as agriculture, the environment, mining, and manufacturing. Through thoughtful research, students explored the challenges connected to each industry while presenting their own unique viewpoints and solutions for a more sustainable future.

We are incredibly proud of their curiosity, teamwork and dedication in creating projects that inspired meaningful conversations and demonstrated outstanding critical thinking skills.

Happy Mother's Day to our RHMS community. Your care and kindness live in us each day.
