I counted up the number of schools I've been to, from kindergarten in Kingston, Ontario, to 3 years of College at the Brampton Campus of Sheridan College. Its 10! Kindergarten at Batoche Ave Public School, Fort Henry Heights, Kingston,
Grade 1 in Campbell River BC, Grade 2 in a two room school in Holberg BC, and 1/2 grade 3 in the larger school in Holberg (San Josef Elementary & Junior Secondary), This is the two room school I first went to:
Grade 3 to 6 in Sheppard Ave Public School, Downsview (Toronto), Grade 7 at Pierre Laporte Jr High, Downsview, Grade 8, Viscount Alexander at Base North, Ottawa, Grade 9 to 1/2 of 11, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Ottawa, Grade 11 to 13 Glenforest Secondary School, and Sheridan College Brampton.
This was our "class picture" for grade 10. We paid the Yearbook staff extra money to have this picture taken and put into the yearbook, and whoever took it didn't have it in focus!! And they didn't even try to fix it!
The Ottawa School Board decided one year that they were going to "give up" our school to the French Board, meaning we would be kicked out, and forced to go to other schools. Students from the School started an SOS campaing, Save Our School, even making it on the local news channel. I believe, after I left Ottawa, that it did in fact happen.
