LSS Weekly Communication - June 14, 2024
Uy’ skweyul Ladysmith Secondary Students and Families,
It has been another busy week at LSS as we prepare for the end of the year and summer break. This week was our final provincial literacy and numeracy assessment session. If you are unsure if your student needs to write next year, please connect with their counsellor.
During the last week of this school year the cafeteria will be CLOSED. This means that next week, June 17-21st there will be no lunch services. There will also be no pizza sales during this time. Please ensure you bring a lunch.
June 24th is LSS completion day. Although school is out on June 21st, students are welcome to come into the building on June 24th to complete any course requirements for this semester. Please have your student connect with their teacher if they are coming in.
On Wednesday, we welcomed grade 7’s from Ecole North Oyster and Ladysmith Intermediate to our building for tours and fun. As a part of this event there was a fun field day with bouncy castles and a school wide barbeque where our cafeteria program served up 700 plus hot dogs to our school community. Many thanks to our school PAC for their support. The fun day closed with an evening grade 7 parent night where families were given the opportunity to meet administration, counsellors, our child and youth support worker and receive tours of the building.
From June 13-15th, our fine arts department is putting on a modern take of Macbeth. Tickets are available at the office and the show opens nightly at 6pm. Special thanks to Mr. Taylor and Mr. Potvin for their work on this production. Be sure to check it out if you have the opportunity.
Next week we are hoping to provide grade 8-11 students with their timetable for the 2024-2025 school year. Counsellors can review timetables with students and will be offering support to those students with required changes. Grade 11 students who have requested a study block, will only receive their schedule once they return the required signed study sheet to the counselling office. Counsellors will be available until Friday, June 21st and then again in the week before school opening (beginning August 26th).
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

LSS Weekly Communication - June, 2024
Uy’ skweyul Ladysmith Secondary Students and Families,
This week was an exciting and proud week for Ladysmith Secondary School. We were honored to welcome elders and special guests from Cowichan, Stz’uminus, Snuneymuxw, and Snaw naw as for our first ever elder’s gathering. On Thursday, ten schools joined our school for our annual hul’qumi’num language event, t’uxusthamsh. Many thanks to yutustana:t and our Land and Language program for their leadership and efforts in guiding this work. We would also like to extend gratitude to the many staff and students who spent countless hours volunteering to make both events a success.
A reminder to all students and families that next week is provincial assessment week. This session is for students who missed their assessment earlier in the year. If you are uncertain if you still need to write, please check with your counsellor or ask in the office.
On Wednesday, June 12th, we are excited to welcome grade 7’s to our building for a fun and welcoming day at LSS. They will participate in tours and learn more about the school and all of the many opportunities available to them. We will also feed them lunch and give them time in our field inflatables, an opportunity that will also be available to the rest of our school.
On June 13-15th, our fine arts department is putting on a modern take of Macbeth. Tickets are available at the office and the show opens nightly at 6pm. Special thanks to Mr. Taylor and Mr. Potvin for their work on this production.
The Nanaimo Child Development Centre along with community partners have secured a grant from Inclusion BC to research services for Children/Youth with diverse needs in Nanaimo/Ladysmith area. The purpose of the community engagement is to gather data regarding what services are available to them now, what they think the gaps are and their hopes for future services. The report will be shared with Inclusion BC and it will help to inform future community services to better support children and youth with diverse abilities. The data collected from this survey will be received and compiled by a 3rd party neutral agency, Discovery Research. This link will be active until end of July 2024. In addition to collecting data through this survey, they will be hosting a family event June 19th, 2024 at Tillicum Lelum (10th street location).

Next week also begins the process of welcoming our incoming grade 8’s to LSS. We will be visiting our feeder schools to meet and greet our new students and ask any questions that they may have.

LSS Weekly Communication - May 17, 2024
Uy’ skweyul Ladysmith Secondary Students and Families,
I hope you have had all had a wonderful week. I wanted to start by letting our school community know that, beginning August 1st, I will be moving to John Barsby Community Secondary School as the Principal. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time serving our school community. While I will still be Principal for the remainder of this school year, I will be spending time in both schools between now and the end of the year. Because of this, our new vice-principal, Jake Hardy, started full time this week. Current Vice-Principal, Shelley Gvojich, will be Principal beginning August 1st.
We would like to wish a special thank you to Ms. Rosioru and Mrs. Lewis for organizing the Living Library that occurred this week at LSS. Spanning two days, several human “books” came into our school to share their lived experience with students in several classes. A special thank you to these guests and community members for coming into our building and sharing their gifts.
Next Thursday, May 23rd, John Barsby Community School will be hosting our District Indigenous Graduation Ceremony. As in past years, this ceremony honoring Indigenous grads will take place in the John Barsby gymnasium, doors open at 5:00pm and festivities begin at approximately 5:45pm. Congratulations to all those taking part.

LSS Weekly Communication - May 12, 2024
Uy’ skweyul Ladysmith Secondary Students and Families,
It is hard to believe we are already talking about the year coming to a close and planning for the 2024-2025 school year. These last 6 weeks are action packed with excitement, celebrating the grade 12’s as their high school journey comes to and end, and begin to plan for the incoming grade eights.
This weekend, Ms. Gvojich and I ventured to Richmond to the Networks of Inquiry and Indigenous Education (NOIIE) Symposium where LSS was showcased as one of the schools in the province doing transformative work in the area of Truth and Reconciliation. We are hoping to be able to share the video with our school community soon. Hay ce:p ‘qu to all involved in the making of the video and for all the work to make our Land and Language program such an important part of our school community.
On Wednesday, May 8th, our Interact Club hosted a student/family movie night in the multi-purpose room. It was so nice to see members of the Ladysmith community come together to support one of our clubs and to spend time together watching a movie. This month is also the Ladysmith Arts Council Student Show where many LSS students will be showcased. Attached you will see a flyer outlining the details of the event!
On Thursday May 9th, we participated in our last Earthquake drill of the year. During emergency events it is incredibly important that we know who is in the building and who is not. For this reason, we remind students and families about the importance of students signing out at the office when they need to leave school during the day.
Have not completed the Ladysmith and Area Transportation Survey yet and want to give feedback still? The survey is open until May 19th. Please see the link to the Ladysmith and Area Transportation Survey based on one of the recommendations from the CommUNITY Together to End Poverty Hw-nuts’-ulwum project.
We want to wish a special thanks and congratulations to the eight student teachers that have been in our building for the past couple of months. Six of these pre-service teachers finish their practicum today, and two will finish their final practicum and officially become teachers next Friday. We wish them all well as they move on in their careers.
Next week, LSS will be hosting a Living Library. Spanning two days, several human “books” will come into our school to share their lived experience with students in several classes. We look forward to welcoming these guests into our building and are excited to learn from them.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
