Welcome
Welcome back to all returning Wildcats and a special welcome to our new Wildcats entering Widdifield for the first time. We're proud to have you joining our educational community!
We are looking forward to an exciting and productive year. We expect to have in place a full extra-curricular program in which we encourage all students to take part. As well, your new Students' Council is in place and is planning many activities for the year. Please involve yourself in the ENTIRE Wildcat experience--Academics, Athletics and the Arts. Being a Wildcat means participating in the entire community--not just in the classroom!
Whether you are an Academic, an Artist, an Athlete or a combination of all three, our teaching staff boasts expertise in all of these areas of learning and strives to provide you with the BEST learning experiences in Northern Ontario. They will challenge you, guide you, and help you achieve your best as part of the Wildcat Family. I look forward to meeting each Wildcat and am proud to be part of the Widdifield team.
Say it loud . . .we're Wildcat proud!
Mr. Lucio Pavone, Principal
