Celebrating 15 Years of Excellence at Blyth Academy Lawrence Park

This year marked a significant milestone for Blyth Academy Lawrence Park, 15 years of inspiring minds and shaping futures. The anniversary celebration was more than just a party; it was a heartfelt reunion filled with nostalgia, community, and celebration. 

From the moment the doors opened, the school came alive with energy. Alumni spanning over a decade returned to the halls they once walked, joining current students and faculty in a vibrant mix of past and present. Stories echoed through the corridors with tales of jail experiments, triathlons, MAD nights, Algonquin adventures, and countless moments that have defined the Blyth Academy experience. A photo gallery lined the walls, offering a visual timeline of memories that captured the spirit of the school’s journey. 

Downstairs, an art exhibit showcased the creative talents of students, reflecting the dynamic and expressive heart of the Blyth community. It was a space where families, alumni, and staff could pause and appreciate the artistic legacy that continues to thrive. 

The evening was also a celebration of the deep bonds formed within the school. Teachers—some returning for the first time in years—reconnected with former students and colleagues. Among the attendees were two faculty couples whose relationships blossomed at Blyth, one of whom introduced their “Blyth baby,” a proud outcome of one of those unions. 

Alumni shared stories of their journeys since graduation, paths as diverse as international development, the wine industry, and even politics. Each story echoed a common theme: Blyth helped them discover their passions and gave them the confidence to pursue them. 

Music added rhythm to the night, with current students performing live, guitars in hand and voices raised. The celebration culminated in a sing-along, bringing everyone together in a moment of unity. 

The evening closed with inspiring speeches. Former Principal Luke Coles honored the school’s rich history and values, while current Principal Michael Booth shared an exciting vision for the future, signaling continued success and innovation. 

Throughout the night, one thing was clear: Blyth Academy Lawrence Park is more than a school, it’s a community. Student Loryn H. captured the spirit of the night perfectly, saying, "The 15th anniversary event confirmed the friendships, camaraderie, and community Blyth LP creates in its welcoming atmosphere." 

Here’s to 15 incredible years—and to many more ahead. 

Happy Anniversary, Blyth Academy Lawrence Park!
