You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Aldershot School''' is a grade 7–12 school located in [[Burlington, Ontario]]. Although the current school building was constructed in 1959-1960 and opened in 1961, the original Aldershot School was built in 1870,<ref>((cite web|url=http://images.burlington.halinet.on.ca/details.asp?ID=6902 |title=Aldershot School, Plains Road, ca 1905 |publisher=Burlington Public Library |accessdate=2008-08-31 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706192221/http://images.burlington.halinet.on.ca/details.asp?ID=6902 |archivedate=2011-07-06 ))</ref> making the name the oldest in continual use for an educational institution in [[Regional Municipality of Halton|Halton]].

Originally a high school (grades 9-13, later cut back to grade 12), grades 7 and 8 were added in 2001 to make use of spare capacity. The school's enrolment is 1036 students as of the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year, with 210 students in elementary<ref>((cite web |title=Aldershot Elem. School |url=https://www.hdsb.ca/schooldetails/schooldetails.aspx?sc=1005 |access-date=6 February 2024 |website=www.hdsb.ca |language=English))</ref> and 826 students in secondary.<ref>((cite web |title=Aldershot High School |url=https://www.hdsb.ca/schooldetails/schooldetails.aspx?sc=2005 |access-date=6 February 2024 |website=www.hdsb.ca |language=English))</ref>

((unreferenced section|date=April 2020))
The school's [[Latin]] motto, ''Veritas Nos Ducat'' (meaning "Truth Shall Lead Us"), speaks to a remarkable [[Honor system|honour system]] in place during the 1970s.  At that time, any misplaced belonging in the school was essentially guaranteed to make its way to its rightful owner, and in some cases, take-home exams were permitted, bearing that the student not use outside information and write the school motto on his or her test. The remnant of this implicit system is in the school's also traditional, annual [[Honour Society]] listing, which notices students who have achieved distinctions in academics at a level of above 80% in every course taken.

== Rankings ==
Scores based on [[EQAO]] scores and [[literacy]] tests place Aldershot far and above other schools in [[Halton Regional Municipality, Ontario|Halton]], having been ranked first for performance by the [[Halton District School Board]]'s (HDSB) annual reviews.  It was the top rated school in Halton according to the ''Toronto Sun'' (2007), and the 13th best school in the [[Greater Toronto Area]].  From 2003 onward, the school's rankings have fluctuated within the top 50 schools in the province, arriving at the 2007 rank of No. 16, and 2008 rank of No. 12 school in Ontario, according to the Fraser Institute.<ref>[http://www.fraserinstitute.org/reportcards/ REPORT CARDS - Measuring Performance], The Fraser Institute.</ref>

== School events ==
((unreferenced section|date=April 2020))
Annual events run by the school's Student Leadership Team include [[Terry Fox Run]] (September), [[Relay For Life]] (May), Spring Carnival (May), and Beach Day (March). Other regular events include [[Pep rally|pep rallies]].

In recent years, fewer events have been organized by the student council (formerly the SLT) as student interest has declined.

There are also many "school spirit" days throughout the year, during which students may partake in an activity to show their school spirit (e.g. Jersey Day, Ugly Sweater Day, "Fancy" Day).

The school's administration has not organized the annual senior prom since 2010, however, since then, the graduating class has taken it upon themselves to organize the event.

== Athletics ==
((unreferenced section|date=April 2020))
Female sports teams at the school are often called the Aldershot "Lady Lions".  Hockey and baseball teams are referred to as the "Aces". All other teams are referred to as the Lions.

The school's performance in athletics has been marked by numerous regional wins, despite being one of the smallest schools in Halton (in Halton D3 football, Aldershot is half the size of the next smallest school, Lester B. Pearson) such as senior boys' volleyball OFSAA ([[Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations]]) favorites in 2006 and 2007.

== Music ==

The school has a Senior Concert Band (grades 9-12), Junior Concert Band (grades 7-9), Choir (grades 7-12), Jazz Band, and occasionally a String Ensemble.  The groups all play at an annual Music Night and sometimes at other events or festivals.

Aldershot has regularly participated in regional and provincial music competitions like<ref>[http://ald.hdsb.ca/music.html Aldershot School Music] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080107023735/http://ald.hdsb.ca/music.html |date=2008-01-07 )), Official Site</ref> [[MusicFest Canada]] and the OBA Concert Band Festival with both the Junior and Senior bands achieving gold, silver and bronze medals several times.

== Programs ==
In 2019, Aldershot become the first school in Halton to begin the I-STEM program. The letters in I-STEM stand for Innovation, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The program is designed to take students through grades 9 to 12, allowing high schoolers to develop a wide variety of skills including engineering design, design thinking, entrepreneurial thinking, and global competencies, all within the framework of innovation.<ref>((Cite web |title=Aldershot High School: I-STEM |url=https://www.hdsb.ca/schools/Pages/Program%20Accommodation%20Studies/Burlington%20Secondary%20School%20Program%20and%20Accommodation%20Review%20(PAR)%20Implementation/Aldershot-HS-Focus-Exploration.aspx# |access-date=2020-09-26 |website=www.hdsb.ca))</ref>

Aldershot is home to the ECO Studies program - a Specialist High Skills Major program in conjunction with the [[Royal Botanical Gardens, Ontario]], which allows students to earn a specialized diploma.<ref>[http://ecostudies.ca/ Aldershot ECO Studies], Official Site.</ref> The ECO Studies program also runs an environmental leadership program for elementary students called "ECO Rangers", which has received exceptionally positive reviews from the elementary schools who have participated.<ref>((Cite web|title=ECO Rangers|url=https://sites.google.com/hdsb.ca/eco-rangers/home|access-date=2020-09-26|website=sites.google.com|language=en-US))</ref>

== Miscellaneous ==
The Aldershot School [[mascot]] is a stylized golden [[lion]], most often represented clawing upward to a stylized medieval crown. A traditional symbol/marking at the school is a simplified [[pawprint]] (consisting of four circular shapes).

Aldershot is known for having a very strong [[Link Crew]] program whose mission is stated as "creating positive change by building positive relationships".<ref>((Cite web |title=Aldershot Link Crew |url=https://sites.google.com/hdsb.ca/aldershot-link-crew/home |access-date=2020-09-26 |website=sites.google.com |language=en-US))</ref> Aldershot is also noted for having a creative breakfast program for students, and a range of  extracurricular options on par with schools of over 2000 students.

The first Student Trustee to come from Aldershot was elected to the HDSB as 2007-2008 Student Trustee Jason Karmody.<ref>[http://www.hdsb.ca/BoardroomTrustees/Pages/TrusteePage.aspx Boardroom and Trustees] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208103315/http://www.hdsb.ca/BoardroomTrustees/Pages/TrusteePage.aspx |date=2015-12-08 )), Student Trustees.</ref>
