Food Drive Nov 20 - Dec 11
Hello Garth Webb families,
We are launching a school-wide Food Drive in partnership with Kerr Street Mission to support families in our community who are experiencing food insecurity.
Over the next few weeks, students are encouraged to bring in non-perishable food items to their classrooms or drop them off in the large donation bin at the front of the school. While all donations are appreciated, Kerr Street Mission has shared that canned meat, chicken, and fish are the most needed items.
Families who prefer to contribute financially can use the QR code on our flyer to make an online donation. Please indicate that your donation is on behalf of Garth Webb Secondary School.
To help encourage participation, we will be running a classroom competition. The class with the most donated items by the end of the drive will win a pizza party.
Thank you in advance to all families for supporting this important community initiative. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference.

Ecuador Trip March 2026
Final Registration Opportunity Information
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. Now, because we have a few spots left, we’re opening the trip up to grade 10 students as well. 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!
