Adjustments to the PWC School System - 2027-2028

The Provincial Government is making adjustments to the Prince of Wales Collegiate School System in preparation for the anticipated opening of the new school in Kenmount Terrace.  

Construction of the new Kenmount Terrace school is scheduled to be completed for the 2027-28 school year. The 2027-28 opening of the new school will result in a reconfiguration of the school feeder system for the area, including all schools currently within the system: Click here for more information

Thanksgiving Food Drive

Larkhall Academy will be hosting its Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive in aid of the Community Food Sharing Association  from Thursday October 1st - Friday, October 9th. Thank you in advance for any donation you can make. 

Breakfast Program

Thanks to the support of Kids Eat Smart, President's Choice Children’s Charities, and families, we will once again offer our grab-and-go breakfast program. Each classroom will have a bin of various items such as fruit, cereal bars, yogurt and cheese, that students may take upon arrival at school. 

Secure School / Lockdowns / Fire Drills

In the coming weeks, classroom teachers will be having discussions and practices with their classes around all three of these procedures. It is important that you speak to your child/children about these and stress their importance. Knowing what needs to happen in times of stress helps reduce anxiety around possible incidents that can occur. Our classroom teachers will take great care in their conversations around these topics. There will be more information to come to help you navigate these discussions with your family.

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us.
