Principal’s MessagePrincipal’s MessagePrincipal’s MessagePrincipal’s Message With a busy start to our second semester, Port Hardy Secondary School students
have had many opportunities to shine as leaders as we welcomed students from
other local schools for some exciting events. Matt Dunhae rocked our gym in late
February with his hiphop message of the importance of caring for our mental
health. Last week, The NISS girls’ basketball team joined us for a friendly compe-
tition while our whale mascot worked the crowd and got everyone showing great
school spirit. This week, PHSS hosted the District grade 6-7 basketball tourna-
ment, and our students showed leadership in everything from set-up to reffing.
The ‘Find Your Fit’ Worksafe BC event drew in crowds to explore interactive ac-
tivities to help people find the right career path for themselves. Through all of
these community-building events, our students have been excellent ambassadors
and role models for our visiting students. We are very proud of them.

Pictures of the grade 8 shared understandings class in the
A’wilgola’elas room, learning how the log drum is made and the
purpose of the log drum as well as learning a song composed by
Chief William Wasden Jr. The students were able to keep the
beat and a few of them picked up the tune of the song and started
to sing
along.
