Community Involvement

The school is annually involved in local and global community in fundraising. Money and gifts were collected for villages in Honduras, through the organization Helping Hands for Honduras, and for Share the Joy, a program that assists Peel families in need of food and other necessities during the holiday season. During Charity Week in April 2012, students, staff and the school community raised over $20,000 for Right To Play. On May 16 2012, students hosted the second annual Relay for Life event. Over 300 students, staff and community members participated in this all-night fundraiser in an effort to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones and fight back by finding a cure. The school raised $30,000, which was donated directly to the Canadian Cancer Society.
