With culminating assessments, exams, and a new semester coming up, many secondary schools are providing students with mood boosting activities to ease stress. For example, John Diefenbaker Senior School students decorated cookies and received anti-stress kits.

Athletics and extra-curricular opportunities continue to occur. Kincardine District Senior School is already planning for the upcoming badminton, soccer, and rugby season.
