Santa Cause Update
Thanks to everyone who participated with our annual Santa Cause Event.
Dunbarton had another successful year raising $7,514.32 in cash, food, new items of toys, books and coats.
Our school has consistently been one of the largest contributors to the Salvation Army at Christmas and this success is due to a unique partnership between students, staff, and members of the community.
WAY TO GO DUNBARTON – we are a school that cares!
Special Thanks to the DHS Councils who participated with great events.

Labour Relations Update
Welcome back to all of our students and staff – we hope everyone enjoyed a happy holiday season!
Over the winter break, The Minister of Education, Laurel Broten, announced that collective agreements for the education sector are now in place across the province for two years. With the new contracts in place, unions will no longer be in a legal strike position. In addition, the Minister announced that the Putting Students First Act will be repealed at the end of January 2013.
With these latest developments there remain many unanswered questions for our students and our school communities. At this point, the Durham District School Board is working with our employee groups and the Ministry of Education to understand and implement the latest developments.
We remain committed to open communication with our school communities and will continue to provide updates on our websites, via the news media and through the DDSB’s Twitter account, @Durhamdsb as new information becomes available.
