Principal’s Message
Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at L’Amoreaux Secondary School!
It is my privilege and honour to join the L’Amoreaux community as your Principal. Whether you are beginning your Grade 9 journey, returning for another year of learning, or joining our school community for the first time, I am excited to welcome you and your families.
L’Amoreaux is a vibrant and diverse school community built on a foundation of belonging, respect, equity, and excellence. Our shared goal is to create an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to discover their strengths, pursue their goals, and achieve success.
This student handbook is an important guide for the year ahead. It outlines the expectations, routines, and responsibilities that help us maintain a safe, caring, and inclusive school environment where all members of our community can thrive.
I look forward to working alongside students, families, and staff as we continue to build a strong and connected L’Amoreaux community.
Wishing everyone a successful and memorable school year!
Principal

A Message to Our Students and Staff
To our students, my message is simple: embrace every opportunity that comes your way.
Take pride in your learning and strive for excellence in all that you do. Explore your passions, challenge yourself, and discover the many pathways that will help you grow both inside and outside of the classroom.
A meaningful high school experience is built through connection. Get involved, build relationships, share your voice, and find ways to contribute to the L’Amoreaux community.
Above all, lead with kindness and respect. Our strength comes from the diversity, experiences, and perspectives that each member brings to our school. We are at our best when we support one another and create a place where everyone feels they belong.
To our dedicated staff, thank you for the care, commitment, and passion you bring each day. Your work inspires students, builds confidence, and helps shape the future of our community.
Together, we will create a school year filled with growth, achievement, connection, and success. I am excited for the journey ahead and look forward to all that we will accomplish together.
Warm regards,
Charu Khurana

School Fees
STUDENT ACTIVITY FEES
Each student is expected to purchase a Student Activity (SAC) card for $50.00. This fee is to be paid upon registration.
The SAC fee covers the cost of a L'Amoreaux's I.D. card, a one-time Dudley lock (given out in grade 9), and membership to all clubs/councils. $35 of the fee goes to Yearbook, and the remaining $15 goes to clubs, council, sports teams, and the Dudley lock. Each club may have their own additional membership dues.
Students who do not pay the Student Activity fee will be prohibited from participating in Extra Curricular Activities that include school expenses, and/or will be required to pay a surcharge for participating in certain subsidized pay-to-participate events.
TEXTBOOK & COURSE MATERIAL FEES
All textbooks are supplied for each course. It is expected that students will take reasonable care of those materials on loan to them. Students with outstanding textbooks and/or materials will be expected to pay for the replacement cost of the textbooks/materials owing. Failure to do so could result in school loan privileges being withheld.
All students in regular day school programs can expect to be provided with course materials in order to complete the course expectations. Successful completion of a required course leading to graduation will not be dependent on the payment of any course fee. No student will be refused admission to a course, program, or school because of failure to pay the course fee.
From time to time, however, there may be optional additional costs for learning resource materials that students may purchase to enhance their program or learning experiences. Students can choose to purchase higher-quality materials, either through the school or on their own. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, uniforms for physical education classes, enhanced art supplies, personal reeds (musical instrument mouthpieces), and similar personal or consumable items, participation in co/extra-curricular activities that enhance learning experiences but are not dependent on earning a credit or achieving high grades, and so on.
STUDENT PHOTO IDENTIFICATION
To assist in the maintenance of a safe school environment, each student is required to carry a Photo Identity Card and to produce this card when asked to do so by a member of staff. The L'Amoreaux's Photo ID card is also coded for use as a Library Resource Services card and as a Student Activity card.
Please check the Calendar for the School Photo Day. The photos taken at this time are used for the following purposes: the Photo ID Card, Yearbook, Ontario Student Records and for photo packages. Inexpensive colour photo packages are available upon request and must be prepaid.
Absent students or students whose photos are flawed will have an opportunity for a School Photo retake session. Replacement student cards can be acquired at a cost of $5.00 per card.
GRADUATION PHOTO
A formal portrait sitting is available for graduating students the last week in November. Students are provided with complete regalia and accessories for these photos. Students must book an appointment in the main office to have their photo taken. A photographer sitting fee charge of $35.00 is required (subject to change).
