New Recreational Infrastructure and Coastline Protection in Queens County
The community of Liverpool and surrounding area will soon have a new sports field, Mi'kmaw learning trail and better coastline protection.
"Whether it's recreational facilities or roads, investing in infrastructure in our communities makes the lives of Nova Scotians better," said Public Works Minister Kim Masland. "These investments will ensure the community has access to modern, inclusive, recreational infrastructure and roads that are built to withstand today's climate events."
Minister Masland and Jack Fancy, Deputy Mayor of the Region of Queens Municipality, announced a combined provincial, federal and municipal investment of almost $2.75 million to replace the Liverpool community sports field with a new synthetic turf soccer field and to construct a new 400-metre gravel running track.
The project will also include fencing, lighting and a Mi'kmaw learning trail which will provide a new, inclusive outdoor learning space.
The Province and the federal government are also investing about $1 million to support work to protect two segments of Shore Road in Western Head that are facing shoreline erosion and flooding.
Quotes:
"Canada thrives when its communities are healthy and resilient. Investments like the one made today will not only promote active lifestyles for those who call Liverpool home but will also protect Shore Road against the increasing impacts of climate change, strengthening the community for years to come."
- Sean Fraser, federal Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities
"Council is pleased, through the Region of Queens' Community Investment Fund, to supply the maximum 25 per cent funding, up to $250,000, towards the Liverpool sports field's cost. This recreational infrastructure illustrates the importance of developing healthy minds and bodies through inclusive venues."
- Darlene Norman, Mayor, Region of Queens Municipality

STUDENTS RETURN TO CLASS ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6
Parents, Guardians & Students,
Welcome back to another school year! Classes begin on Wednesday, September 6 at 8:35am. Homeroom class lists have been posted on the front doors. Students will get their class schedule from their homeroom teacher. They will also get a “Registration” form and a “Permission to Publish” form. We ask that you complete these 2 forms and return them to the school by Friday, September 15 so that we can update all student records. You may also want to consider purchasing the “Gold Plan” Student Insurance. All students are covered for the basic plan during school hours however the “Gold Plan” extends coverage to outside of school hours. For more information go to https://sip.ca/parents-students/student-accident/gold-plan-application/
Whether you are new to LRHS or returning for another year, there are a few things we’d like to share with you.
This year LRHS will be changing to a 4 class per day schedule. Each class will be 75 minutes. (please see the attached schedules for both the Regular Day & the CLT Day).
All schools in Nova Scotia will be following the Provincial Student Attendance and Engagement Policy. It is very important for students to attend their classes. Excessive absences can lead to potential Loss of Credit in grades 10 - 12 and in Grade 9 students with poor attendance may be restricted in course selections going into grade 10. (ie. No academic Math 10, mandatory Learning Strategy courses) Please familiarize yourself with this provincial policy. (See attached Attendance Policy)
All schools are now using SchoolCashNet for most fee payments for things like graduation fees, sports fees, and cafeteria lunches (at LRHS we use 5 meal punch cards so students just go to the cafeteria and pick their own menu items). We ask that you take a moment to sign up for online payments at https://ssrce.schoolcashonline.com/
If you need to contact a teacher or administrator by email please see the attached list of emails.
All of the above information as well as our other school policies can be found in the Student Handbook on the LRHS school website under the STUDENT Menu: https://sites.google.com/gnspes.ca/liverpool-regional-high-school/
We look forward to the 2023-24 school year. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us either by email or by phone at 902-354-7600.

Some school absences are unavoidable. We understand that. The important thing is that your child attend class as often as possible
Absences add up quick. Missing just two days a month is the same as missing 15% of the school year. And missing this valuable in-person instructional time has a direct impact on the overall achievement and well-being of our students.
