Orientation Week

The Waterloo Catholic District School Board (WCDSB) kicked off the 2025–2026 school year with a full week of orientation activities designed to help new students feel at home.

Students took part in school visits, learned how to ride the city bus, visit public library, and explored the community with a trip to Elora. The week also included a visit to Canada’s Wonderland, a variety of games, and wrapped up with an exciting concert.

The orientation week gave students the chance to make new friends, experience Canadian culture, and start their WCDSB journey with confidence and fun.

 

 

 

 

Visit Public Library : Public library is more than books. Students can watch movies, borrow sports and music equipment, rent video games, explore 3D printing to bring their own designs to life, and even record their own music in the library’s studio space.

School tour: students had the chance to tour their new schools, pick up their class schedules, and receive important information to help them start the year successfully. The tours also gave students a chance to meet staff, get familiar with classrooms, and feel more comfortable in their new learning environment.

Student volunteers showed their new classmates how to log in to their school accounts.

Wonderland – Canada’s biggest amusement park!

 

Canoeing is one of the most popular activities for students.

The orientation was wrapped up with a concert. Students play music with a local band, there are many students who are excellent guitar players, piano players, and singers!! Let’s Rock and Roar into the year!
