St. James Catholic School Hosts a New Episode of “House”

Posted on February 16, 2007August 23, 2018 by admin

The staff and students of St. James Catholic School in Lively invite you to view a new episode of HOUSE on Friday, February 23, 2007 at the school located at 280 Anderson Drive, (across from the Tom Davies Arena). All the HOUSE cast will assemble at 1:00 p.m. in the school gym. Although Dr. Gregory House will not be making an appearance you can watch the whole school implement the concept of HOUSE.

Launched in the fall, HOUSE program works to improve school spirit, teamwork between staff and students, co-operation within the school, leadership of intermediate students and the overall development of academic, social and athletic skills.

Everyone in the entire school is on a team, except the gatekeeper (vice-principal) who awards the points. These houses act as teams throughout the year. During the school year, houses have been in competition with each other in trying to obtain the highest amount of points. Points are awarded for behaviour, sportsmanship, cooperation, academic excellence and leadership.

The HOUSE episode this month will feature a math activity whereby all HOUSE teams will be involved in the task.

St. Anne School celebrated Literacy Awareness Day on Friday, January 26th, 2007. The school wanted to promote the importance of reading and learning together as a school and as families. Grandparents of students in Kindergarten to Grade 3 came to read with their grandchildren and their friends. Mr. Ron Dupuis was another special guest for Literacy Day.

The literacy kick-off for the entire school (K-8) also began that day. The “Reading Book Worm” starts in the front foyer and the intention is to have him “grow” around our school by encouraging students to read. Individual classroom teachers have sent home specific criteria for their own classes. As students read, their names are added to the Book Worm. Everyone is encouraged to continue reading as a family home. Happy Reading!!

Bishop Carter Catholic Secondary School students attended a Girl’s Against the Boy’s Hockey Game at the Centennial arena in Hanmer as a fundraiser for the school’s athletic department recently.

Students from Bishop Carter’s feeder schools as well as a number of Sudbury Wolves players also participated in the event. The highlight of the evening took place when the students from the feeder schools were actually given the opportunity to play in the game.

It was a highly spirited and eventful day for many Bishop Carter Catholic Secondary School students and staff in the area of Valley East. All of the Bishop Carter athletes were appreciated and given honourable mention. The well planned event also gave Grade 8 students the opportunity to see what high school life can be like.
