The Husky Howler

Spirit Week was a blast for our Lower School students — from crazy hair and hats to a cozy pyjama day, the holiday cheer has been non-stop 🎉

A huge shoutout to our Bake Sale Committee for raising $1,159 in support of Abbeyfield Canada (and special thanks to Ms. Humphrey for corralling the tasty treats).

Remembrance Day Assembly

Lower School students honoured Remembrance Day by creating artwork in tribute to those who gave their lives in service to our country.

After the Remembrance Day assembly, Madame Butscher and her Grade 7 helpers curated a meaningful display in our main foyer. Lest we forget.

Model UN Goes To Montréal

Our senior Model UN delegates had the opportunity to experience their first Secondary Schools' United Nations Symposium (SSUNS) conference in Montréal! They immersed themselves in important delegate-led discussions and even explored the scenic McGill University campus, where they met up with Hudson alumni Ava (‘24) and Gabriella (‘23). Check out this vlog, created by our delegates, to experience SSUNS 2024 firsthand!

Throughout the conference, they discussed complex global issues in their committees, debating topics such as the climate crisis and the consequences on developing nations, the conservation of wildlife, and even stepped back into 2001 to work on solving the infamous McMillions Heist. The delegates collaborated with each other and resolved issues in the span of four days, handing in resolution papers and directives to the chairs of their committees.

Thank you to SSUNS for hosting such an exciting and enriching weekend... our delegates are already counting down to next year’s conference!

All Dolled Up - Justice League Fashion Show

The Hudson Justice League hosted their third annual fashion show, challenging societal norms with the theme “All Dolled Up.” The show aimed to critique how women are often treated like dolls who are expected to fit rigid beauty and behavioural standards.

In recognition of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women earlier that week, all proceeds from ticket sales went to supporting the work of Shelter Movers.

Congratulations to the incredible Justice League team, designers, and models — you’ve outdone yourselves by using fashion and art to advocate for change. We can’t wait to see what you come up with next year!

Grade 9 Distillery District Trip

Check out these highlights from the Grade 9 Distillery District trip 🎄

Our Grade 9s kicked off the trip with a thought-provoking walking tour that taught them all about the rich and complex history of how the Distillery District came to be. While on the tour, the most delicate and fluffy snowfall began — it was as picturesque as you’re imagining it to be!

Afterwards, students were then allowed to go explore the Distillery Winter Village - and all of its sweet treats, of course. Even some of our staff members (hi, Ms. Streff!) tried out one of the elaborate hot chocolate concoctions on offer. Some students even had the opportunity to take photos with Santa himself!

Thank you to Go Tours Canada for the guided tour, our students had a great time learning more about Toronto’s vast history — and thank you to Ms. Streff, Mr. McMaster and Matilda for being our fantastic organizers and chaperones for this exciting excursion.
