LSS Weekly Communication - November 3, 2023
Uy’ skweyul Ladysmith Secondary Students and Families,
It is hard to believe how quickly the semester is flying here at LSS and that we are already in the first week of November. We would like to give a big thank you to all of our staff and students for a great Halloween week. A special thank you goes to the student council for all their work with the Haunted House Carnival. In addition to LSS classes, students from the Intermediate school also visited the Haunted House Carnival last week. A great time was had by all.
On Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, staff will be working with students in their A block classes to complete their self-assessment of the Communication Core Competency. This year, in alignment with the new provincial Reporting Order, the self-assessment will also include goal setting. Please connect with your student about ensuring that this is brought home for you to review.
Next Friday, November 10th, we will be holding our school-wide Remembrance Day Assembly in the gym. It is a time for us to reflect on the bravery, resilience, and dedication of our veterans and those who continue to serve in the armed forces. The Remembrance Day Assembly will take place between 11:20am and 12:00pm.
On November 9th, we will be hosting a Post Secondary BC event at LSS. This is an amazing opportunity for all of our grade 11 & 12 students. Students will get the opportunity to select two universities they can visit for 35min sessions between 9am & 11am.

LSS Weekly Communication - October 27, 2023
Uy’ skweyul Ladysmith Secondary Students and Families,
We cannot believe it is already the end of October. With this in mind, we know students are getting ready for another Halloween. Halloween is always an exciting time where many students choose to dress up and wear a costume to school. We wanted to take a moment to discuss our expectations around costumes at school. As a reminder, culture is not a costume nor a commodity. We ask that you not apply cultural appreciation or appropriation to Halloween costumes unless you are of that culture. Additionally, our student code of conduct does not permit masks that cover your face or the possession of replica weapons. Please make smart choices to make the day enjoyable for all.
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week several members of our school community (including administration, Teaching staff, CUPE, Students, Parents, and a Trustee) travelled to Vancouver to participate in a Ministry of Education Anti-racism Summit. In addition to collecting data for the ministry around schools’ needs to support anti-racism education, there was also a great deal of learning and sharing of ideas. In the coming months, this team will be working with the school to take on projects around anti-racism to help foster a more inclusive and just school community.
Just a reminder to those students that are currently enrolled in English First People’s 10, English First People’s 12, and a Math 10 course this semester that you will be writing your Literacy and/or Numeracy provincial assessment this week. These assessments are required for graduation, so please ensure that you are present to write them.
Thank you for your continued patience as we work through addressing the flood damage to the building that occurred during Tuesday night’s storm. At this time, room 111 and the staircase at the end of the hallway are still undergoing repair and will be closed as district personnel assess and repair the damage. Additionally, there will be some drywall and ceiling tiles removed and replaced from the affected hallway.
Hay ce:p ‘qu,
Stephen Epp & Shelley Gvojich
