Celebrate 

Thank you to all the families and graduates that helped make our graduation events on Thursday such a success! It is always great when we come together as a community to celebrate student achievement. 

Congratulations to Addison B. who recently competed in Skills Canada National Championship. Addison finished 6th place in the Photography challenge. Congratulations Addison on this remarkable achievement!


Final Weeks 

With only a few weeks left in the school year, it is important that we finish the year strong and safely. Some general expectations are that students are in class and are not engaging in unsafe activities in the parking lot such as stunting or having water fights. As shared previously if these expectations cannot be met, we will be calling parents and guardians and asking that students go home for the remainder of the day. 


Summer StARTS Festival 

We are thrilled to invite you to Nelson Mandela High School’s 2025 Summer stARTS Festival, a week-long celebration of student creativity across the Fine and Performing Arts, from June 2–5.
