St. Charles College Scores Big with After School Grant from Loblaw

Posted on September 17, 2013August 23, 2018 by admin

St. Charles College has been selected as the recipient of the 2013 Loblaw After School Grant of 5 thousand dollars. The money will be put towards feeding students in the Student Success area of the school – who are staying for after school help or sports in the building.

Sher Watson, the Cooking School Co-ordinator presented the cheque to the School President, Carrington Ryan and Athletics President Jacob Belanger.

Watson says St. Charles College is the only school receiving the grant in the Sudbury area this year. She was surprised to see a cheque for that amount, citing that it is the biggest she has seen come to Sudbury for a Healthy Snacks for Healthy Bodies campaign.

Grade 9 Students Thinking Forward to Graduation

Posted on September 16, 2013August 23, 2018 by admin

Students entering grade 9 this fall at St. Charles College were given a challenge. Complete twenty of their forty community service hours and be entered to win an I-pad Mini.

The incentive was an idea that Guidance Program Leader Silvia Faggioni heard about from her counterparts working in boards across Ontario at a Ministry of Education workshop last year.

Faggioni says students need 30 credits to graduate, they need to pass the literacy test and complete 40 hours of community service. “Sometimes getting them to complete those hours is the easiest and yet the hardest requirement because by grade 12, students are thinking about their post secondary plans, jobs and relationships.”

The challenge for twenty hours began last May when the guidance department visited grade eight schools informing students about contest. Letters were also sent home to kids indicating that they were able to start obtaining hours in the summer going into grade nine.

The challenge worked as many grade 9’s submitted their community service hours report. Grade 9 student Alyssa Scott was the winner. She completed her 44.5 hours at both the YMCA Day Camps and working children’s games at the Fairbanks Lake Cottage Association Picnic in the summer.
