School Events/Activites
Remembrance Week
As November is here, we are beginning our time of remembrance. As a school named after a veteran, Garth Webb, it is a special time of year for us. We take time to reflect on what we are grateful for and remember all of those who fought for our freedoms. Monday, November 11 is Remembrance Day and over the course of this coming week we will be doing activities and learning in our classes as it is such an integral part of our school. Take some time at home to talk about Remembrance Day, what it means to you, and the importance of being grateful for all we have.

This past spring we launched Garth Webb Secondary School’s next service learning trip to Ecuador during March Break 2026! We’ve got over 25 students joining us already, but we’re offering one final opportunity for students to join us on this amazing adventure!
We launched the trip in the spring for grade 11 and 12 students to ensure our senior students had the opportunity to register.

Grade 11 and 12 students who are interested but didn’t join in the spring are also welcome to register now.

Leaders League @ GWSS
Leader’s League Launches at Garth Webb!
We’re thrilled to kick off our 8-week Leader’s League Program at Garth Webb, an inspiring initiative led by Halton Multicultural Centre - Connections that focuses on developing leadership, communication, and team-building skills in a dynamic and inclusive environment.
As part of this exciting journey, students are working collaboratively on a very special legacy project: creating Garth Webb’s very own school mascot, brought to life through a stunning 3x3 two-dimensional paper mosaic board. Once complete, this artwork will be gifted to the school and proudly displayed in the library, portraying a lasting symbol of creativity, unity, and school spirit.
We can’t wait to see the incredible results from this passionate and dedicated group of future leaders!
