These special gatherings gave students the opportunity to explore new places, express their creativity, build friendships, spend quality time with mentors, and create lasting memories together.

Grade 9 students enjoyed a fun pottery painting experience, where they explored their creativity, designed unique pieces, and shared meaningful time with friends and mentors.

Grade 10 students visited the beautiful village of Elora, exploring local boutiques, cafés, bookstores, artisan shops, scenic attractions, and the charming surroundings of Elora Mill and Victoria Park. The day was filled with discovery, laughter, friendship, and memorable moments.

Grade 11 students spent the day in Toronto, where they explored the city and enjoyed a bike ride around Toronto Islands. With beautiful waterfront views, great food, and plenty of fun, it was a wonderful opportunity to connect, strengthen friendships, and enjoy the city together.

These monthly outings are an important part of our mentorship program. They provide students with opportunities for personal growth, meaningful conversations, community building, leadership development, and unforgettable shared experiences.

We sincerely thank all of our mentors, students, and families for making these moments so special.

At GRFS, we are proud to support youth through mentorship, friendship, guidance, and opportunities that help them grow with confidence, connection, and a strong sense of belonging.

More than just brushes and paint, this outing offered space for imagination, patience, and self-expression. Each person carefully designed their piece, layering colours and ideas while sharing stories and laughter with friends and mentors.

Through art, they discovered creativity. Through each other, they found encouragement and confidence. From blank ceramics to vibrant creations, it was a day of expression, connection, and lasting memories.

At GRFS, we believe that growth happens not only in classrooms but also in these shared, hands-on moments—where creativity is nurtured and community is built. That’s why we say: Love is a Verb.
