Say hello to  Ella.
Found a community to inspire confidence and positivity.

Ella started with Blyth Academy in Grade 9, after finding their earlier school wasn’t the right fit. It’s at Blyth Academy where Ella found their voice. 

“Since joining the school, I have found it easier for me to express myself and my needs. The smaller community has made me value my academic experience and provided me with more confidence and a positive mindset as a student.” 

Ella has found a safe space for them to flourish both academically and socially. “The small class sizes make such a difference in learning and students are free to express themselves in a non-judgmental space. It allows for a more engaging learning environment and has enhanced my ability to learn over the past year and given me more confidence as a student.”  

Since coming to Blyth Academy, Ella has become a very active member of their student body. They are a member of the Student Council and have taken on a big role as a volunteer in the school. 

“I attend weekly meetings where my peers and I plan school events, spirit weeks and design the yearbook. I also contribute to extracurricular and volunteer opportunities at the school, whenever it is available to me. Some volunteering I have done are school BBQs, parent teacher interviews and peer mentoring.” 

Ella’s goal this year is to continue to advocate for new student initiatives as a Student Ambassador as well as maintain their 97 per cent academic average. 

“The school is welcoming and diverse. I feel that I'm in a safe environment and I have met so many amazing friends during my time here.”
