Catholic Education Week 2024 is scheduled to take place during the week of May 6th – May 10th.   All Catholic schools in Ontario will engage in a series of events to celebrate the ongoing gift of publicly funded Catholic education.  Publicly funded Catholic education has existed in Ontario since 1841 and its graduates have served Ontario and Canada very well. The current generation of students in our publicly funded Catholic schools will serve with the same spirit and generosity as their previous generations.

We will be preparing a series of activities, which will highlight how our school is being Called to love together.  Stay tuned for more information!

Register for this free live webinar on April 30th or May 7th and learn about EQAO’s primary and junior Assessments of Reading, Writing and Mathematics. Participants will learn about the purpose of Ontario’s large-scale assessments. EQAO staff will explain the assessment format, highlight resources to support students and answer questions from participants.

Tomorrow, students in Grades 6-8 will take part in the Bus Tour for Humanity, which will arrive before the start of the school day. Organized by the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, this tour offers our students an educational opportunity to delve into topics such as racism, intolerance, diversity, democracy, and human rights. The tour, which visits schools in Ontario and Quebec, aligns with the Grade 6 Social Studies curriculum and engages students through activities and discussions about the Holocaust.

This upcoming Friday, March 22nd, marks The Great Gulp event. We’re rallying all staff and students to unite in reducing our carbon footprint by exclusively using reusable bottles. Let’s refrain from bringing single-use items like Tim Horton coffees or plastic water bottles, opting instead for sustainable choices. Your ongoing support is deeply appreciated.

Thank you,

The Eco Team

Good Morning Wings Nation Families.
