INCLUSION, BELONGING & PLURALISM and HEALTH & WELL-BEING:  
In 2025-2026, donors funded specialized workshops with ConnectEd, an initiative 
that equips our teachers to navigate complex topics with care. These sessions help 
our educators guide students in building essential tools for courageous, respectful 
dialogue. Contributions also supported our device-free environment by introducing 
print newspapers to the Lodge and expanding student co-curricular activities. 
Through new offerings like the Fishing Club, your generosity ensures our students 
build genuine connections and remain deeply engaged with one another every day. 
TEACHER EXCELLENCE (PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR STAFF): 
Through the Greenwood Fund, we were able to support several high-impact 
training opportunities for staff this year, including specialized coursework in special 
education. Thirteen teachers completed additional qualifications through a three-
part program, with four completing Part 1, five completing Part 2, and four earning 
their Specialist qualification. Eleven of these educators work in the Student Success 
Centre, providing an immediate and positive impact for Greenwood students with 
learning differences. Thanks to these efforts, our school community now includes 42 
teachers with Special Education Part 1, 19 with Part 2, and 10 with their Specialist 
designation, six of whom work in the Student Success Centre to support our 
learners every day.
Donor support also enabled meaningful workshops to broaden our educational 
approach and operational strength. Our team participated in sessions with Irshad 
Manji of Moral Courage to enhance our ability to listen, learn from others, and 
nurture these essential dialogue skills within our students. Additionally, operations 
staff engaged in professional development focused on leveraging artificial 
intelligence to increase efficiency and streamline workflow, while teachers explored 
the thoughtful and effective integration of artificial intelligence into the classroom. To 
further support academic growth, professors Dr. Steve Engels and Dr. Naomi Hamer 
visited Greenwood to lead a workshop on preparing students for postsecondary 
education, focusing on communication skill development and artificial intelligence.
GREENSPACE: Your generosity and patience throughout construction brought this 
moment to life. By investing in the Greenspace, you directly supported the physical 
and mental well-being of our students. Every play on this field, lesson under the sun, 
and memory made here reflects your support. Thank you for believing in this project 
and helping turn this dream into a reality.
