Dear QEHS Parents and Guardians, 

Congratulations to our debate team in competing in back-to-back tournaments last weekend at the Master’s Academy School and College and winning gold on Saturday. QEHS has two students qualified for Speech Provincials, and they are busy preparing for their upcoming competition. Good luck to the three Debate teams participating in a pre-regional's tournament this weekend! 

Also, thank you to our grade 9 leadership students for their community outreach work connecting seniors at the Bethany Care Centre and kindergarten students from Queen Elizabeth School.  Our students hosted an afternoon tea with art activities and snacks for all ages.  Thank you, Knights, for being exceptional leaders and citizens! 

Stay warm this weekend.   

With gratitude, 

Jennifer Edmondson-Neily 
Principal
