Mission Statement

Vision

Lively District Secondary School is a grade 7-12 program committed to fostering the intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth of young people. We offer a variety of programs to suit a range of talents and interests. We have in common a respect for individual differences, a desire to promote personal growth with the acceptance of responsibility and a goal to foster excellence.

Our Mission

Lively District Secondary School believes in the individuality and uniqueness of each student. It recognizes the diversity of backgrounds, interests and needs that this belief implies. The school is committed to developing in each student a sense of personal worth, with emphasis on individual responsibility and accountability. To this end, it is hoped that each student will learn to be a responsible, self-directed citizen in a democratic society.

Principal’s Message

Lively District Secondary School offers six diverse programs to meet student interests and abilities. The Secondary programs offer choices for students in planning their destinations.

The Intermediate Program offers a dual track program for approximately 150 grade 7 and 8 students. We bring together rich histories of strong academics from both Jessie Hamilton P.S. and George Vanier P.S. under one Intermediate program that is separate and distinct from the high school. Students continue on a balanced school day that begins 40 minutes later than the high school. Our highly energetic Intermediate staff offer outstanding extra-curricular opportunities in all sports, arts and academic enrichment.
