Thanks to successful fundraising, revisiting how we use and where we spend our H&S funds, and leveraging our parent community to do some of the labour, we are delighted to offer this event for free.
All activities are free and we will be offering one hot dog, drink and snack per person.
A total of 595 food donations were collected! Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with the daily sorting and organizing.
We are happy to report that the food went to refill the pantry at Auberge Transition, to the women who Le Mouvement contre le viol et l’inceste help support and directly to some local families.
Thank you for your continued support Willingdon!
We would like to invite you (the parents/guardians) with your children to the Willingdon Student Film Festival movie night on Thursday, May 1st, 6pm-8pm at the gym of Willingdon’s Senior Campus.
In order to better plan the event, please confirm your attendance via the registration form. The registration is mandatory as the places are limited.
Due to the limited space at the gym, the invitation is open to a recommended 4 people max per family (exception – families with more than two kids: kids + 2 parent/guardians).
This year the film festival night is also a fundraiser for the grad 2025. Our lovely grad parents are organizing the snack stand that will be open from 6-6.30pm in the gym, so please bring cash to support our graduating students! Admission to the film festival is by donation to cover the cost of Home&School supporting the film festival (suggested donation is 2$ per person).
Thanks so much and we are looking forward to seeing you there!

Home and School is excited to announce our second Community Book Fair, where students will once again have the chance to shop for gently used books at amazing prices—just a buck or two! The event will take place at the school, and all proceeds will go directly to Willingdon Home and School.
