Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

I am thrilled to be part of the Strathmillan School community! At Strathmillan, we provide high-quality learning experiences for students in Kindergarten through Grade 5.

My career in public education began right here in the Silver Heights neighborhood, where I taught at Bruce Middle School and Silver Heights Collegiate. I know the strong reputation Strathmillan has earned since opening its doors in January 1954, and I am proud to continue that tradition of excellence.

One of our greatest strengths is our dedicated and experienced staff. Many of our teachers and support team members have been part of Strathmillan for more than a decade, creating a stable and caring environment for students.

We value strong partnerships with our community. Our active Parent Advisory Council plays an important role in supporting student learning and experiences. We also work closely with the Strathmillan Childcare Centre, an independent organization that leases space in our school, and we welcome volunteers who enrich our school life.

At Strathmillan, we teach and reinforce positive behaviors to ensure a safe, caring, inclusive, and respectful environment. While we strive to be proactive, we recognize that mistakes happen. When they do, we focus on restoring trust and repairing relationships through problem-solving conversations and progressive discipline.

Together, let’s continue to help every student shine as part of our constellation of Strathmillan Stars!

Warm regards,

Warren Nickerson
