Updates from All Saints

May 22, 2026

RELAY FOR LIFE UPDATE

All Saints' first Relay for Life on May 8th at the OZ Dome was a tremendous success.  Led by Ms. Hay and supported by an incredible staff team, there were 240 student participants. Together, and with your support, All Saints raised over $45,000. 

We thank our numerous generous sponsors. Desjardins was the presenting sponsor of Relay for Life Youth this year. We had local supporters as well: Domino’s Pizza, Kona Ice, Le Donut Stop, Loblaws, Thunderbird Sports Center, Shawarma House, The Ottawa Redblacks, Wingstop, Kernels Popcorn, Mr. Shawarma, Sobeys March Rd, and Dynamic Building Improvements.  

We have already started planning for Relay for Life 2027! We hope everyone will join us next year.

final evaluations reminder

Grade 9 - 12 students’ examinations and Rich Summative Tasks (RSTs) WILL NOT be rescheduled for holiday or travel convenience, and all appointments should be scheduled so as not to conflict with exams and RSTs. If a medical problem arises, a Vice Principal must be contacted prior to the exam or RST.  

Students and Parents/Guardians can refer to the OCSB website for the Grade 9 - 12 calendar. These calendars identify the first and last day of school, PD days, Statutory Holidays, Board Holidays, and High School exams. As a general rule, it is prudent to avoid any planned student absences during the months of January and June, as this is when RSTs and exams are scheduled.
