Congratulations to all our award winners this year!

A HUGE thank you to Rami and Mona from Javaroma Yellowknife for dropping off these absolutely delicious treats for our staff today!

A special Thank You to Great Slave Helicopters for donating their dunk tank to us for our annual BBQ and to WB Water Service for swinging by to fill us up!

Our Final WMS Weekly of 2025-2026! June 22-26

A reminder that there is no school tomorrow in recognition of today’s National Indigenous Peoples Day.

This week - join us in celebrating our over 100 Grade 8 students as we say farewell.

Our WMS Awards (Grades 6 & 7) and Year End BBQ will be held on Wednesday. All details have been sent to families.

16 WMS Grade 8 Students and Mrs Bromley, Mr Brooks, Ms Cole and Mr Seabrook left Powder Point this morning to make their way to Hidden Lake.

Our Hidden Lake Canoe Trip and Camp Akaitcho are two On the Land experiences available to students in Grade 8 at WMS. Independence, responsibility, team-work, collaboration, stewardship, environmental awareness, safety and survival training and connection to Land and place are just a few of the things that Grade 8 students take away from these programs.

Thank you to Cathy Alloo-loo and for your expertise, knowledge and training. Because of you and your staff, our students are better equipped to enjoy the next 5 days on the water!

Thank you to Ahmic Air Ltd for getting our staff and supplies safely to the site on Friday!

Congratulations 7K!

An exchange to end the year!

If you have any questions, please see Ms Sara in the library!
