Congratulations to Mr. Link Wallace who has been hired to be the vice principal at Landmark Collegiate staring in September. Link has served in the division in various positions working as a classroom teacher, alternative education coordinator, administrator and now learning support teacher and guidance counselor at Landmark Collegiate. Link brings a wide range of professional experiences that will serve the students and staff of Landmark Collegiate very well.

Please come out and support your child’s learning. Refreshments will be served.
