Update on EQAO Assessments

Posted on by Carlee Vendramin

Please be advised that the Ontario Ministry of Education has announced that all EQAO assessments (Grades 3, 6, 9 and the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test) have been canceled for the remainder of this school year. We appreciate the hard work completed by staff and students in preparing for these assessments.

The literacy graduation requirement (OSSLT) for students who are graduating in the 2019-20 school year has been waived.

Students who are not graduating this school year will write the OSSLT in the upcoming 2020-21 school year.

Posted on by Carlee Vendramin

Ms. Royer’ grade 3 and Ms. Visentin’s grade 1 classes are very exited to come to school to participate in their March Madness Read Aloud competition. Both teachers decided to make their students reading and learning experience a little more engaging this month by choosing a winner out of a battle between two books. Winners continue through tournament style, until the winner is revealed at the end of the month. Our students are excited by this new school initiative as it promotes student voice and enthusiasm to want to read and participate in the classroom, while completing literacy activities. Students will be completing a book review that debates why their book was the chosen one!

SCC Students to Send out Birthday Cards to WWII Vet

Posted on by Carlee Vendramin

A World War two veteran is about to get a lot of St. Charles College fan mail!

In early February, the CBC News had posted an article about a WWII Vet, Fred Arsenault, who was looking forward to celebrating his 100th birthday on March 6th.

Because Mr. Arsenault enjoys receiving mail and the nostalgia it brings from days long ago, his son made an appeal on social media asking friends and family to send birthday cards to his father in hopes of receiving one hundred of them in time for the big event.

Students in 7A, 7C, 8D and the 7/8 class all heard about Mr. Arsenault and decided to make him 100 birthday cards from the students at SCC.

We’re sure he’s going to be super excited to receive all the beautiful cards the students made.

St. Albert Learning Centre graduated their latest Personal Support Worker (PSW) class.

Being a PSW isn’t easy. PSWs face long hours, physically and emotionally demanding work.Being a PSW means you can make a real difference in someone’s life. You do what doctors, nurses, and sometimes even family can’t do: spend meaningful time with people. PSWs are the difference makers, the front-line workers, the glue of the health care world.

Congratulations to our latest batch of PSWs- may you find success in your future endeavours!
