Mark your calendars for November 5, 2025, the official Take Our Kids to Work Day! Take Our Kids to Work Day is an annual career exploration event, held every November, where Grade 9 students spend the day in the life of a working professional. Students spend the day at the workplace of a parent, relative, friend, or volunteer host, witnessing first-hand the world of work, prompting early career planning, and enabling students to make informed decisions about their future goals and endeavours. The event also gives parents the opportunity to discuss career prospects with their children, and allows businesses to share knowledge, experience and advice around education, career choices and relevant skills required in today’s workplace. As part of your child’s Career 9 class, we are hoping that your child will be able to participate on November 5th.
The more students understand about the jobs of their parents and relatives, the more informed the decisions about their own future career. For more information, please visit takeourkidstowork.ca.
Staff are aware of this day, and know all grade 9s will be out in the community participating in this, so there will not be missed classes or tests. Students that do not participate, will have regular classes for the day.
