Saltfleet District High School uses the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) to assess Grade 10 students' skills in reading and writing. Successful completion of the test is one of 32 requirements students need to attain in order to receive an Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
When Saltfleet High School opened its doors in 1927, the school area included Stoney Creek and all of Saltfleet and Binbrook Townships. This was several years before Wills Motors started Ontario’s first school business line, so several students had to find their own transportation. In the first and second forms, History, Geography, English, Literature, Composition, Grammar, Algebra, Geometry, Latin, and French were taught. In third, fourth and fifth forms, some of the subjects were continued along with Chemistry, Physics, etc. Special Commercial, office and business skills were also offered. Agriculture was taught for four years – as the lifeblood of most of Saltfleet Township was orchards and graperies while farming and fruit growing was the norm above the escarpment. The school crest was designed, a motto chose, school song composed, school colours selected and cheers learned.

Tips For Parents:
Your teen will learn the most about confidence based on what you do—not what you say. If you’re guilty of making critical statements about your body or your abilities, you’ll teach your child to do the same. Role model how to face new situations with courage and confidence and demonstrate the importance of loving yourself. Talk to your teen about times when you've been brave or things you've done in your life to help build your confidence. Make eye contact. Making eye contact with another person is a great way to convey confidence. It also shows you are friendly and approachable. People will treat you with more respect if you are able to look them in the eyes. So you can learn this method to your teen.
