April will be a particularly busy month as we begin course registration for next year and present our first ever NHS drama production. Continue reading for more details!

March has come “in like a lamb” so I guess that means it will go “out like a lion”? I hope not but I sure have been enjoying the sunshine these past few days. The days are getting longer, time seems to be flying by, and before we know it, it will be Spring Break! With spring on the horizon we are in full planning mode for Grad 2022 as well as Grade 9 Orientation for our new incoming students.… Read More
Goodbye January – Hello February January was quite the month … but despite the fragmented return to school we figured it out and here we are! I want to again commend our school community – students, parents, and staff – for their resilience and positive outlook as we managed remote learning and multiple weather-related closures. Apparently the groundhogs say we have some more tough days of winter ahead but I guess we should be used to these long Manitoba winters… Read More
Happy New Year! I hope the Christmas break brought you all some rest and relaxation. Most of us are probably glad to leave 2021 behind us and are looking forward to much happier and more settled times. In some regards the year is not off to a great start, but I’m hopeful that things are going to turn around and improve in the near future. Obviously, this was not the return to school we were wanting, but our teachers are… Read More
This week the students started to “deck the halls” and make some plans for the last day of school before Christmas break. There is a positive buzz in the building and I love it! Make sure to follow us on Instagram @nivervillehs, or check out our website, to find out what’s going on and what’s coming up. What are your festive traditions? Driving around looking at Christmas lights, baking cookies, inflatable characters in the front yard? Advent calendars seem to… Read More
Someone told me today that there are 55 days until Christmas. Yikes! I’m not quite sure what to do with that information but I think I’ll just take it one day at a time. I hope this email finds you well and that your own days are manageable. Here are a few things to be aware of in November: Spectators at School Sporting Events Effective today, November 1, HSD is permitting limited spectator access for varsity volleyball games with the… Read More
September has flown by and fall is in full swing! There has been a buzz of energy throughout the school as students and staff re-establish school norms and develop a new culture of learning. The transition back to full time in-person learning has been challenging in some ways but we know the past year-and-a-half has been very difficult and understand that it will take some time to get into a comfortable groove again. The students always look forward to getting… Read More
Wow, we are back!! Our school is filled with life and energy again! It’s been such a pleasure to see all the reconnection happening. The first few days of school often tend to feel a little busy and unsettled, and I think this year we are feeling it even a little more as we return from a pandemic year of learning. I’m happy to report that things are already starting to feel more calm today as we begin to settle… Read More
Well, here we are. It’s June. Two more weeks of classes and that’s it – we made it! It has been such an unpredictable year but somehow we managed to power through and I have to say, I think we all did pretty well, all things considered. I have bragged to my colleagues several times over the year about how great the community of Niverville is and I want to sincerely thank you for your patience, understanding, grace, and support… Read More
We are all working diligently to make the most of these final two months of school and I want to thank everyone for their ongoing efforts to follow the public health orders and safety protocols at school. It can be wearing at times but so far our diligence has paid off and our school has remained open for in-person learning. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that things continue smoothly until the end of June (insert cautious optimism here 🙂). I… Read More
