Parents/guardians and students in grades 7 to 12 are invited to participate in Transitions, an information session designed to help students make key decisions in the transition from elementary to secondary school and from secondary school to college and university.
This free information session will take place on Tuesday, November 21, 2006, at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School, 2993 Algonquin Road, Sudbury. With the different streams in high school designed for apprenticeships, college, and university, it’s important to know what choices are available to students as they enter high school, postsecondary education, or the workforce.

Current secondary school curriculum requires that students make educational choices as early as grades 7 and 8 and then again in grades 10 to 12. It is important that parents/guardians and
students know what choices are available so that students have as many educational and career opportunities as possible.
The Rainbow District School Board, the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, and Cambrian College have joined with Collège Boréal and Laurentian University to present Transitions. A representative from each organization will be on site to provide information and answer questions.

St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School will be holding a Remembrance Day Ceremony on Friday, November 10, 2006 starting at 1:20 p.m. at the school, 2993 Algonquin Road in Sudbury to recognize the troops of the Canadian Forces and Canadian War Veterans.

The ceremony will also include a special tribute to the Wilson Family. On October 7, 2006, Trooper Mark Wilson of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, lost his life near Kandahar, Afghanistan while driving supplies to fellow soldiers who were working on the area roads and repairing a bridge. Though Trooper Wilson was buried in London, Ontario, his family resides in Sudbury, and his eldest son, Joshua, is a grade 12 student at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School. Joshua’s younger brother Benjamin attends St. Christopher Catholic School.

Mrs. Dawn Wilson has graciously agreed to participate in the Remembrance Day Ceremony with her two sons and will lay one of the wreaths at the Cenotaph (built by the school’s woodworking class). Present for this Ceremony will be some of St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School students that belong to the 134 Admiral Mountbatten Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps, 200 Wolf Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, the 2912 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, as well as soldiers and reservists from the 2nd Irish Regiment of Canada. The Pipe and Drum Band of the 200 Wolf Squadron will lead the procession of more than 30 young men and women in uniform. Both Members of Parliament have also been invited.
