WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL
Prestige School is pleased to welcome all of our students, new and old, for the 2025/2026 school year.
The first couple of weeks went smoothly, and students and teachers are adjusting well. The beginning of a new year means a fresh start and an opportunity to set new goals to improve and develop your learning skills. Let’s make this school year the best one we’ve ever had!
We would like to welcome these staff members to the Prestige School family:
Ms. Ashley – JK Teacher
Mr. Luka – Physical Education Teacher
PRESTIGE SCHOOL DRESS CODE
As a reminder, Prestige School has an enforced dress code. Students must wear the school crested white top and school navy dress pants or skirt. Sweaters and vests need to have the school crest. The physical education uniform must also be the school crested t-shirt and shorts.
Students are not allowed to wear colourful sweaters to school. Students can save these unique clothing items for casual day at the end of each month.
Thank you for your cooperation!

ONTARIO UNIVERSITIES’ FAIR
Attention all high school students! Have you been researching universities for next year? Not sure which one to choose? Look no further!
Attend this free event with all 21 Ontario universities together in one place. Make sure to attend the Ontario Universities’ Fair from Sat., Sept. 27 – Sun., Sept. 28 (9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily) at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
TERRY FOX RUN
This month Prestige School will be raising money for the 2025 Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research. The Terry Fox foundation has carried on Terry Fox’s legacy of the Marathon of Hope for 45 years now. Let’s work together to help end cancer.
Mrs. Amanda revealed this year’s challenge and fundraising goal. “If Prestige School raises $2500, then students will receive casual Fridays for the month of October.”
Prestige School has raised $2000 so far. Help Prestige School reach our goal. Donations are collected online. Click on
https://schools.terryfox.ca/PrestigeSchoolToronto and then click on the DONATE button to give to cancer research.
Prestige School will be participating in the Terry Fox Run around the neighbourhood on Thursday, September 25th during first and second period. Thank you for your donations.
ORANGE SHIRT DAY
Prestige School will be participating in Orange Shirt Day. This is a day when we wear an orange shirt to honour the Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada. We also spend time learning more about the history of those schools and the effects on the Indigenous community.
On Tuesday, September 30th, students can wear an orange shirt, if they have paid $2. All proceeds will go towards the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund. This fund’s goal is to improve the lives of Indigenous peoples by building awareness, education and connections between all peoples in Canada.
Please send $2 with your child, to give to their homeroom teacher by Wednesday, September 24th. If your child will not be wearing an orange shirt, then Tuesday, September 30th, is a regular school uniform day – it is not casual day.
Thank you for your support.
