Chapel

At Lakefield College School, Chapel is where our community comes together to reflect, connect, and celebrate. It’s both a solemn and lively gathering that blends tradition with fresh perspective—three times each week, we share stories, laughter, and moments that remind us what it means to belong.

Students in the Community and Connect leadership class play a key role in shaping each Chapel. They lead reflections and conversations on inclusion, belonging, and school culture—and bring joyful energy with announcements that cheer on our athletes, artists, and Spirit Events. Chapel is as much about thoughtful exchange as it is about celebrating our shared life at the school.

A defining Lakefield tradition, Chapel Talks invite Grade 12 students to take the podium and share their personal journeys—stories of challenge, growth, and discovery. These heartfelt talks are a rite of passage, encouraging vulnerability, empathy, and reflection across the community.

Rooted in our Anglican heritage and guided by our values of empathy and respect, Chapel has evolved into an inclusive gathering that honours all voices and perspectives. From marking national days of reflection to hearing student-led talks about the world around us, it’s a space that nurtures dialogue and deeper understanding.

And, of course, there’s the music. Singing together—old hymns, classic rock, or current favourites—remains one of Lakefield’s most joyful traditions. When voices fill the Chapel, you can feel the spirit of community in harmony.
