The Halton District School Board joins school boards across Ontario in celebrating
Education Week from May 1-5, 2023. This year’s theme from the Ministry of Education is, Education for a Brighter Future. This year, the
HDSB will celebrate Education Week by focusing each day on one of the five areas of focus in the
2020-2024 Multi-Year Plan (MYP) to show the importance of schools, staff, families and the community working together to support the well-being and success of students.
On the second day of
Education Week, the HDSB highlights how schools create safe and caring school environments that promote well-being and enhance relationships and positive learning and working climates where everyone belongs and feels safe:
May 1-7 is also Mental Health Week, as designated by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), which promotes mental health awareness, decreasing stigma and helpful resources. This year, the theme is #MyStory because storytelling, in all its forms, supports mental health and reduces stigma. Youth Well-Being Teams throughout the HDSB have planned activities for students to learn about mental health.
