Welcome to Whitchurch Highlands Public School! We are a
small school in a rural area of York Region, surrounded by nature and bordered
by a small forest and farms. We have plenty of room for our students to play,
explore nature and sports.
Our students strive to reach their personal best and learn about
each of the YRDSB Character Traits to support their growth, monthly. They hard-working and enjoy leadership opportunities,
clubs and teams. Our students are taught
to be critical thinkers and upstanders and to recognize that every kind act, no
matter how small makes a difference.
Students and staff work together to build and maintain inclusive
and welcoming environments throughout our school. Ensuring that every student feels safe, cared
for and included is our work and our focus every day. We believe that this is everyone’s
responsibility. Our daily announcements, assemblies, activities, lessons, clubs
and student-led initiatives aim to give everyone the tools they need to build a
culture of care and acceptance.
We have very supportive parent community who are involved
in many activities - School Council, volunteers in the classrooms, support for
academic learning, and supervisors during our lunch hour. We strive to build
strong partnerships with all our parents and welcome their support and
involvement.
Here at Whitchurch Highlands P.S., we recognize that are all
members of the W.H.P.S. Wolf Pack and we demonstrate this by supporting one
another, being inclusive, being responsive and by demonstrating respect. Although we are proud of our accomplishments,
we strive to improve every day.
Welcome to our school!
Sincerely,
Ms. De Rose
Principal
