Frontenac Secondary School

<h1 class="editor-heading-h1" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">May 22 Newsletter</span></h1><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The FSS Exam schedule can be found </span><a href="https://frontenacss.limestone.on.ca/documents/dbca57b9-2909-4acf-8f41-31059e195360/FSS-Exam-Schedule-Semester-2-2025-2026-Google-Sheets.pdf?fingerprint=ppb20260522181755"&fingerprint=ppb20260522181755 rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">here</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. We encourage all families to read the schedule. If you note that your student has a conflict (two exams during the same time) please see Ms. Bonney Morris-Pocock or Mr McKenna to resolve the conflict. With the release of the exam schedule, the school year is officially picking up speed. With only 15 instructional days left before grade 12 exams, the light at the end of the tunnel is getting much brighter. The band trip to Canada's Wonderland was a tremendous success and the focus for the arts will shift to the final concert and year end arts banquet. Our athletes continue to impress in the spring season as well. Track athletes are posting personal best times and distances, the rugby teams steadily improved all season, soccer and ultimate narrowly missed out on advancing for city and provincial championships and baseball is currently undefeated in KASSAA play. At grade forums last week, the central themes of kindness and respect for the community were emphasized as well as to finish the school year strong. We can do this Falcons!</span></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">FSS Rocks Olympiad</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A huge thank you to Student Council for organizing a successful Olympiad event! This annual event is one of the best days at Frontenac and is a reflection of the effort and enthusiasm of the student leaders at FSS. The Olympiad event celebrates the success of our clubs, bands and teams and epitomizes what it means to be a Falcon. With a school wide pep rally in the morning, a Dominos Pizza sponsored lunch and fun games and events in the afternoon, FSS School Spirit was on full display. Events organized in the afternoon included: therapy dogs, cornhole, face painting, slip and slides, bouncy castles, obstacle courses, basketball, tug of war, and the Jurassic Classic offered something for everyone to enjoy and participate in.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/b56c4452-ea47-4878-a0ee-12a94932e610?fingerprint=ppb20260522182905" alt="IMG 1577" width="563" height="422" style="width:563px;height:422px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/76a0e017-d463-48ba-9ac1-4e7daff9cec8?fingerprint=ppb20260522182904" alt="IMG 1592" width="561" height="421" style="width:561px;height:421px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/8d5107db-1ecb-4e1d-9fd1-07447664f3e8?fingerprint=ppb20260522182901" alt="IMG 1582" width="564" height="423" style="width:564px;height:423px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/5cd57e4d-1017-4b62-a097-e49e1247933d?fingerprint=ppb20260522182900" alt="IMG 9259" width="575" height="767" style="width:575px;height:767px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/13084f2e-e91f-4451-bca2-9f19fa2d25ef?fingerprint=ppb20260522182859" alt="IMG 1580" width="595" height="446" style="width:595px;height:446px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/c9be7ada-7272-4ea8-b1e8-8e5d16e94776?fingerprint=ppb20260522182851" alt="IMG 9267" width="535" height="713" style="width:535px;height:713px;display:inline-block"></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">School (Parent) Council Staff Appreciation Breakfast</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">School Council is hosting the annual staff appreciation breakfast on the PA Day Friday, May 29th.

The girls showed tremendous grit and defensive tenacity against a KSS team that possessed the ball for the majority of the game. However, when FSS did get the ball, their speed and skill was on full display. FSS speed and skill was on full display in the opening seconds of the match as Jenna Martin scored a try that saw her kick the ball twice and outrun the Bears defence to score a sensational opening try. With the game tied at 12 with a few minutes left, Delaney Brule followed up on a brilliant run from Olivia Kyte to score the go ahead try. Best of luck to the girls who travel to Lindsay for OFSAA June 4-6. Well done Falcons!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/9562cd80-ac6d-4b56-92f7-8637e58d7f9f?fingerprint=ppb20260522162522" alt="IMG 6324" width="981" height="397" style="width:981px;height:397px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Athletic Banquet</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Mark your calendars!

Shannon's positive energy and infectious smile have been a tremendous gift for all staff and students at Acadie and Frontenac Secondary School this year. We know our school community wish her the best of luck as she transfers to the next chapter in her life. We know wherever you go, the people that you encounter will be better for the experience. To help fill the gap for the remainder of the school year, we welcome back an old friend. James Bonham-Carter will be returning as principal until the end of the school year.

As part of this celebration, graduating students, as well as younger secondary students, are recognizing graduates’ achievements in a variety of&nbsp;ways. However, we want to inform families about one&nbsp;particular activity&nbsp;that has become increasingly&nbsp;concerning&nbsp;from a safety standpoint. “Senior Assassin” is a popular game among graduating students across North America that involves students “assassinating” one another using water guns, gel projectiles, or foam darts. The last person who avoids being “assassinated” wins. While the game is intended to be harmless, many of the imitation weapons used closely resemble real firearms. Police services are warning that these replica firearms pose significant safety risks, particularly in public spaces. As reported in a recent CBC article,&nbsp;</span><a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbc.ca%2Fnews%2Fcanada%2Fkitchener-waterloo%2Fsenior-assassin-game-creates-risk-of-public-mistaking-water-guns-for-real-guns-wrps-warns-9.7166885&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cmckennam%40limestone.on.ca%7C0184f73c6aa44614ca0808dea15e9a9b%7Ce1f4165febae4d82a73ca0de593830be%7C0%7C0%7C639125624900200544%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C4000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=8w1ueveZ%2FIEnE9V4rwBwHU8kZAnsNA6sYrMJpXxtzx8%3D&amp;reserved=0" title="Original URL: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/senior-assassin-game-creates-risk-of-public-mistaking-water-guns-for-real-guns-wrps-warns-9.7166885.

In the article,&nbsp;a Waterloo Regional Police&nbsp;officer explains&nbsp;that&nbsp;it&nbsp;can be extremely difficult for police or members of the public to&nbsp;distinguish&nbsp;imitation firearms&nbsp;from real firearms, particularly at a distance or in high-stress situations. As a result, any report involving a&nbsp;possible weapon&nbsp;must be treated as real until proven otherwise, creating serious risk for everyone involved.&nbsp; With this in mind, we ask that graduating students refrain from&nbsp;participating&nbsp;in the “Senior Assassin” game. Student and staff safety are always our top priority, and we encourage students to recognize and celebrate achievements,&nbsp;including graduation,&nbsp;in ways that ensure everyone&nbsp;remains&nbsp;safe. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/2539fbe0-54f8-4683-960b-d0b14dc12815?fingerprint=ppb20260505145933" alt="Human Trafficking Awareness May 12 2026" width="477" height="636" style="width:477px;height:636px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Join LDSB for an important community conversation on Human Trafficking Awareness Session with Wendy Gee</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">📅&nbsp;May 12, 2026</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">🕡&nbsp;6:30 to 8:00 p.m.</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">📍&nbsp;INVISTA Centre, 1350 Gardiners Rd, Kingston</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">💻&nbsp;Also available online via Microsoft Teams</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Wendy’s work focuses on strengthening coordinated community responses, prevention strategies, and survivor-informed service delivery across sectors.
