Sudbury Catholic Schools welcome 11 international students!
We were honoured to welcome our international students to Sudbury Catholic Schools for the 2017-2018 school year! The 11 students are from various places in China and Vietnam and are completing studies in our Secondary schools this year.
We welcomed our new friends with a traditional Canadian BBQ, featuring chicken and porketta sausage cooked by St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School teacher Mike Sipos (winner of Cook for Me Sudbury in 2015).
We are so grateful to our host families for guiding our students in their journey and thankful for our wonderful staff for their leadership in providing educational opportunities for all. We hope all students involved in the program have a successful and inspirational year!

If you wish to send your child to a school outside of your boundary, please contact the principal of the desired school to discuss your options.

• Immunization Card
Can I register my child if he or she is not baptized?
If an elementary student or at least one of his or her parents/guardians is baptized Catholic, the student will be enrolled using the standard registration process.

“Measuring Up” at St. David School
St. David students continue to learn how numeracy is everywhere in the real world. St. David School teaches mathematical skills across the curriculum and this includes the Core French program taught by Mr. Louis Mailloux. “The students have the opportunity to build flower boxes and build their confidence. They have fun, see real world math skills in action and learn a second language all at the same time”. These hands-on opportunities contribute to the development of a broader and deeper understanding of numeracy.
Kindergarten Teachers to Visit China!
Three Kindergarten teachers from the Sudbury Catholic District School Board will be travelling to China to support a student Summer Camp this coming August. At the invitation of Jinguo, Rosemary Tripodi, Alice Desormeaux and Lina Reale will be travelling to Yunman, China to participate in Kunming Jinguo Kindergarten Summer Camp from August 11 to August 20th, 2017.
The Sudbury Catholic District School Board has established a partnership with Jinguo as part of the International Student Program. The program helps to provide learning opportunities for both students and teachers involved. The teacher’s presence in Yunman will provide an opportunity for them to share best practices in Canadian kindergarten classrooms, as well as learn from their peers at Jinguo. Each teacher will be paired with one or two Chinese teachers and work as a team throughout the experience at the Camp.
“We believe that our common enthusiasm toward education, foreign languages and cultures will be enhanced with this visit,” said Rosemary Tripodi, Kindergarten teacher at Holy Trinity Catholic Elementary School. “It is also a great opportunity for us to learn more about the Chinese culture and to share best practices for the advancement of both our education systems.”
“I feel most fortunate to have this opportunity to travel to China and learn about their culture while collaborating with Kindergarten educators,” said Lina Reale, Kindergarten Teacher at Holy Cross Elementary School. “ I am looking forward to expanding my learning as well as sharing best practices. I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience as China has much history and beauty to offer its visitors.”
“The trip will offer a wonderful experience for us to learn about culture and teaching from a different perspective,” said Alice Desormeaux, Kindergarten Teacher at St. Anne. “I look forward to collaborating with the teachers between both countries and discussing various ways we can all improve our practices.”
