Knights’ Spring Showcase
On Thursday, May 29 from 5:30 –7:30 pm. Come explore the incredible work our students have accomplished this semester! Our Construction, Art, and Photography programs will be showcasing their outstanding projects and artwork. Don’t miss the chance to walk through and witness the impressive skills and creativity of our Knights!
The evening will also feature:
- Performances from our talented Music program
- Delicious treats prepared by our Culinary program
- Entertaining short skits presented by our French and Drama programs
Drama has been working on 10-minute-musicals where they created their own storyline and scripts being performed in the theatre:
Murder at Michigan Hospital - When an appendix removal goes wrong, Ezra must discover who has their organs and who stole them. In this comedic medical drama, two surgeons will discover what it truly means to be empty.
Wrong Soul - A group of friends decide to spend an evening together at the mall when something peculiar happens. Some of them have changed and they realize something is off; not everything is as it appears.
Could I be a Wizard? - A young boy goes behind his mother’s back to chase his dream of learning magic, but his teacher may not be all that he seems. Will he discover the secrets of spell craft, or will his ambition be cut short?
Spring Showcase Treats! Get ready to indulge! Our amazing culinary students are dishing up sweet and savory goodness with an Ice Cream Sundae Bar and a Poutine Station piled high with cheesy, gravy goodness. Every bite is made (and served!) by our talented students. Come hungry and support their tasty hard work!
It’s a night to celebrate the diverse talents within our school—we hope to see you there!

Supporting the Social & Emotional Health of Gifted Students
Gifted students often face unique emotional and social challenges, such as heightened sensitivity, perfectionism, and isolation. In this presentation, Ley-Anne Folks and Heather Lai from Westmount Charter School will discuss ways to support their well-being, which involves creating a safe, understanding environment, promoting peer connections, and providing access to mental health resources. Non-GATE parents are welcome to attend this session.
Immediately following the presentation, we will hold a short GATE Parent Association General Meeting. If you have a student registered in GATE for this current school year, you are a member of the GPA.
