Message from the Principal
Welcome to the John Diefenbaker Secondary School website. We hope that this site provides useful and interesting information about our school community.
We are committed to providing our students with an engaging learning environment that takes into consideration all of the different learning needs of our students. Presently, we have about 775 full and part-time students attending JDSS.
There is a great selection of courses from which the students can select each year and we are very proud of the fact that we have just become a school that is offering a Specialist High Skills Major in transportation. More information on this program is available through contacting the school.
At JDSS we offer a large number of extra-curricular programs for our students, including volleyball, soccer, basketball, rugby, golf, football, badminton, field hockey, hockey, track and field, and volleyball to name a few. Many of our students are also involved in other clubs and activities such as the chess club, the Year Book, as well as the numerous competitions in which our JD students have excelled. Some of these competitions involve the math and business disciplines, speech competitions, Robotics and the Skills competitions.
We also welcome student involvement on school-based committees because we do value their input and point of view on various matters that are directly related to and affects them. I am referring to committees such as the very active Anti-Bullying Committee, the School Advisory Council, the Athletic Council and the Student Council committees again to name a few. We also welcome parent and community involvement on these committees. Please feel free to contact the school at 519-364-3770 for more information.
