PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Thank-you for taking the time to access Woodroffe High School's website. As a newcomer to Woodroffe, it was not long ago that I too
was investigating what this diverse school had to offer students, staff and the surrounding community. When I first arrived on the steps of this beautiful
school, I quickly began to appreciate all the opportunities that are available. The unique collaborative relationship between the adults and young adults of
our Tiger community has set the stage for many exemplary accomplishments both academically and extra-curricularly. This common vision focusing on equipping
each student with the necessary tools to be successful in their futures has led to a wonderfully positive learning climate. Building on the strengths of our
diverse Tiger family, we have shared many tangible achievements. There are also many intangible connections which are less visible but which are imbedded
in the fabric of Woodroffe High School.
This vibrant secondary school has high academic standards, a strong athletic program, and a wide range of extracurricular activities.
The staff is energetic, highly qualified and dedicated to excellence in the classroom and beyond. It is the many initiatives of Woodroffe students and
staff which highlight our diversity, strength and global outlook. Our new 2004/05 school year academic credits illustrate Woodroffe's progressive approach to learning.
New offerings include: Stage Craft; Studies in Literature - The Voices of Minorities; Vocal Music; World Perspectives - Politics, Economics and Culture; World Religions; and Managing Personal Resources.
Woodroffe Tigers are involved in bettering their school and community. This is both a desire amongst students and an
expectation of faculty members. For those who search to ensure a successful high school career for themselves or their children, keep in mind that at
Woodroffe High School, we build upon that goal and aim to create a transformative journey -- creating learning opportunities that are significant and
memorable.
