Posted on by admin

St. Benedict students completed artwork based on the one of the sub-themes of Catholic Education Week. Each group brainstormed what that theme meant and how it could be applied to our lives in the year 2017. We then gave each group a large piece of mural paper and had them visually represent their understanding of their theme. There was very little teacher input, and the Grade 8 students as what their theme meant to them and their lives.

This Catholic Education Week, Pius XII School hosted a Math Morning for students and their families to encourage Growth Mindset in mathematics. One of the school’s main focuses this year is developing a positive attitude towards math. As part of this goal we continue to put emphasis on the relationship between educators, students and their families. Pius XII School works closely with families because when there is a trusting, respectful relationship between the home and school, students have a better chance of being successful academically, socially and emotionally.

During the math morning, all parents and family members played fun, educational math games at school the with their children and were then given a math bag to take home. The math bag was filled with dice, cards and math game instructions to use at home to support their children to build confidence in math.

Bishop Alexander Carter students help clean-up the community for Catholic Education Week

Posted on by admin

On May 3rd, 2017, students at B.A.C.C.S.S. participated in a neighbourhood clean-up. Stewardship of the environment is a very important Catholic Social Teaching which it is re-enforced every year during Catholic Education Week. The students had fun bonding with friends, while enjoying some fresh air and exercise. The neighbourhood clean-up not only provides an opportunity to strengthen community relations, but instills a sense of pride and ownership in the students with regard to environmental responsibiity. Dozens of garbage bags were filled and a good time was had by all!
