Welcome to October Hillhurst Families!
Each month in the school year brings its own unique temperatures, celebrations, and ways of marking the passage of time. At Hillhurst, a calendar is always more than just a calendar - we want students and families to see themselves reflected and represented in how we gather around, and organize, the 181 school days each year. Some key questions that guide our work include:
- What does it mean to acknowledge?
- What does it mean to remember?
- What does it mean to honour?
- What does it mean to reflect?
- What does it mean to celebrate?
When you enter our building, please check out our calendars, co-created with our learners!

This week, please find the Hillhurst CBE School Calendar attached on our Calendar page, for your reference. The weekly email update from your child’s homeroom teacher is another important way to find out more about your child’s learning and other class-specific information. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you are not receiving their weekly updates!
Have a safe and restorative weekend with your family,
Kristin and Shafali
