Dr W A MacLeod Consolidated School

Students in Mrs. Hayward’s math classes spent time calculating their free throw percentages this week as part of their probability outcomes. It was a beautiful week to take class outside!

Our 6R students were proud participants in the 2026 Fish Friends Program in partnership with the Pictou County Rivers Association.

Throughout the year, students raised trout from eggs and recently released approximately 550 trout into local waterways. A wonderful hands-on learning experience that helped students learn about conservation, ecosystems, and environmental stewardship!

Garden club has been busy!

They successfully applied for funds to make the garden accessible for all students a couple weeks ago. They made a whirlwind trip to Kent last week and have started putting plants and seeds in the ground! We're looking forward to seeing what grows!

🍓🥤 Smoothie Surprise! 🥤🍓

Our 4M class blended up some delicious smoothies as part of a student engagement activity and delivered them throughout the elementary school. The tasty treat was a hit with students and staff alike!

A huge thank you to the students of 4M, Mrs. McPherson, Mrs. Guthro, Mrs. MacDonald, and Shali Manuel, Youth Engagement Coordinator, for helping bring this refreshing project to life

This week our students had an opportunity to travel to NRHS to participate in a Try Rugby Day hosted by Pictou County Rugby club and Rugby Nova Scotia. Our students had a great time learning the sport. Thank you to PC Rugby Club, Rugby NS and all those involved in making this day a huge success!
