What's Happening at Sydenham High School
Holiday Break 2025
Happy Holidays!
Hello SHS Golden Eagles and Families,
The staff at SHS want to wish you a happy holiday! We have been busy at SHS providing great opportunities to build our school community, from our first ever 3 vs 3 hockey tournament, to our holiday show, our annual pancake breakfast complete with the band playing!
We also said goodbye to Ms. Stevens, Vice Principal, as she will be moving schools in the new year due to a recent retirement. We wish Ms. Stevens all the best and want to thank her for all that she has done for our SHS community. Mr. Gibson will be returning for the month of January to support the transition to a new Vice Principal (TBA).
We hope that everyone enjoys a safe holiday break and we will see you back in the new year (Jan. 5, 2026!).

Concussion Protocol
SHS is committed to student safety, injury prevention, and well-being, and supports concussion awareness, prevention, identification, management, tracking, and training. Our point of contact is Ms. Ash Ward, Vice Principal.

Threat/Risk Assessment Notification and Process
The Limestone District School Board and community partners are committed to making our schools safe for students and staff. As a result, schools will respond to all student behaviours that pose a potential risk to other students, staff, and community members. The Community Violence Threat Risk Assessment Process is designed to be proactive in developing intervention plans that address the emotional and physical safety of those involved. Families are asked to review the steps of a Threat/Risk Assessment online.
