Grove Society Parent Chapter | Private School in Canada

A Message from the President

On behalf of the Grove Society: Parent Chapter, I am delighted to welcome to all new and returning parents to Lakefield College School. We are excited about the upcoming school year with many great events and activities planned to ensure you feel fully engaged with the vibrant LCS community.

The Grove Society consists of the Executive, Alumni and Parent Chapters. In addition to our wonderful “friend-raising” events such as Parent Pub Nights, Fall Fair and the Strawberry Tea at Regatta Day, the Parent Chapter provides important support services to students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff. These services include new parent Welcome Calls, Parent Grade Reps who are available to answer your questions, the Host a Student Program and much more.

All of our events and services are possible due to the hard work of our volunteer parents of past and current students. Many of these wonderful people continue to generously give their time and expertise even after their last child has graduated! Please consider joining our Parent Chapter team. Any level of involvement is most appreciated. We have volunteer opportunities for both boarding and day student parents. I promise it will be a fun experience that will connect you to your child’s school in a most rewarding way.

Please browse the Parent Chapter page and look through the Volunteer and Participate pages for more information. Getting involved is easy - just contact the Chair, Volunteers or complete the Volunteer Sign Up form. You will also find a list of the people currently involved in planning and organizing our activities under the GS Contacts tab.

Finally, thank you to everyone who helped and participated in our events and services in the past. YOU are the Grove Society and your involvement is the reason we have such a dynamic LCS community!

All the best,

Virginia Plunkett P '21

President, Grove Society: Parent Chapter
