Life at Shadd: Special Events & Celebrations
Where Learning Meets Community
At Shadd Health & Business Centre, education goes beyond the classroom. Over the years, we’ve hosted a variety of events that bring students and staff together to celebrate milestones, share cultures, and enjoy meaningful moments as a community.
A Tradition of Celebration
We believe in making space for joy and connection throughout the school year. While the scope of events may vary from year to year, here are some of the ways we’ve celebrated in the past:
Class Potlucks
Students and teachers have shared dishes from their cultures at potlucks—always a highlight of school life, offering a taste of the world right here at Shadd.
Graduation Ceremony
Our year-end graduation has honored the hard work, commitment, and success of our students. This milestone is celebrated with classmates and staff.
Back-to-School & End-of-Year BBQs
In previous years, outdoor barbecues featuring music and festive food created a welcoming atmosphere to start the school year and to celebrate its close.
Celebrating Together at Shadd
Shadd has a tradition of bringing our community together through fun and festive occasions. Some holidays celebrated in the past include:
🎄 Christmas & New Year’s
👻 Halloween
☘️ St. Patrick’s Day
We also encourage students to share ideas for other cultural or community celebrations. If there’s a holiday that’s meaningful to you, let us know—we’re always open to learning and celebrating together.
