St. Benedict Starts the Bell Let’s Talk Conversation

Posted on February 1, 2018August 23, 2018 by admin

Today, students in the grade 7 and 8 wing at St. Benedict planned for a tough conversation they might experience in the future.

The students completed response texts in the event that someone reaches out to them about their mental health to look for support.

The students also talked about taking negative and unwanted words out of their vocabulary when it comes to dealing with mental health.

Sudbury Catholic Schools participate in exciting coding workshop!

Posted on February 1, 2018October 9, 2018 by admin

Many of our schools had the opportunity to participate in coding workshops this week with university instructor, keynote speaker and bestselling author Brian Aspinall! Grades 4/5 students and 7/8 students and teachers came together as they co-learned about the link between computational thinking and problem solving in math through coding.

Brian Aspinall provided a hands on workshop for the students and teachers to engage in and even provided ways to fit the training into classroom curriculum!

“The workshop was amazing! I’m watching the students become immersed in learning, while I make connections to the curriculum at the same time!” Amanda, St. Francis.
