A Place for Everyone

At Abbotsford Senior, our proud Panther tradition is rooted in the legacy of school culture in which we strive to provide dozens of opportunities throughout the year with our clubs and teams with everything from football to chess to debate club and knitting.  To ensure that we are providing safe, welcoming, and engaging opportunities for our students, we have established a diverse Student Voice committee, which we rely on to help set a focus for the school and its greater community.  This year, the committee has two goals, the first, "How can we establish and maintain safe spaces in our school?" and the second, "How can we welcome and include newcomers to Abby Senior?"  Check out the clip from one of their recent meetings in our Panther News Broadcast.  

Our Leadership Program is thriving with over 100 students and offers opportunities for personal growth and events that build our vibrant school culture. 

This year we started a Breakfast Club on Tuesday and Thursday mornings in the Rotunda.  Join us at 7:45 for baked goods, yogurt, fruit, and waffles, of course.  Everyone is invited to the Pump House for Grilled Cheese Fridays as well, an initiative that was started by our staff that has become an Abby favourite.

With over 100 Indigenous students in our school, our Indigenous Department offers a safe space to our students as they work diligently to create individualized learning opportunities that provide the best opportunity possible for our students to be successful, along with meaningful cultural experiences.

We hope that all of these opportunities create a sense of community and culture and helps to create a well-rounded school experience for every one of our students.
