Posted on by admin

On Saturday, April 12th, Christine Harte and Autumn Millar, grade 11 students from Bishop Alexander Carter Catholic Secondary School’s Specialist High Skills Major program in Information and Communications Technology, participated in the Ontario Technological Skills Competition (OTSC) Qualifying Round for TV/Video Production at Canadore College. The girls placed first out of all of the Northern Ontario teams. They will now be heading to RIM Park in Waterloo on May 6th to participate in the OTSC Provincial finals. “I am obviously extremely proud of Christine and Autumn”, says SHSM teacher, Steven Facchini. “Making videos is not just about setting up a camera and hitting the record button. It’s an involved process. I offer my sincerest congratulations to the girls for their exceptional work.”

St. Raphael Presented with $5000 Cheque and One Surprise to Support Lifeskills Students

Posted on by admin

International members from the United Commercial Travellers (UCT) were on hand at St. Raphael Catholic Elementary School on April 9 to present the Lifeskills class with a cheque for $5000. Several months earlier, teacher Elissa Zuliani decided to enter her Lifeskills class in a contest she had read about in one of the UCT catalogues. The contest was open to all North American schools who support students with intellectual disabilities. Zuliani put together a two minute video that showcased the exceptional qualities and values that her students possess. The final winner was to be decided by votes so, after a heated battle for first place with Eldon High School in Eldon, Missouri, the students at St. Raphael placed second.
Visibly moved during the presentation, Zuliani thanked the representatives from UCT International including the CEO of UCT –Joe Hoffman from Ohio as well as the International President of UCT – Bob Kellog from Michigan. Also on hand for the presentation were several members of the local UCT branch. Zuliani also thanked her fellow teachers, parent council members and all of the parents of her students. “We are so proud of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board and the Greater City of Sudbury for their votes of support,” Zuliani stated. “This was truly Sudbury at its best! I thank UCT for this incredible funding which will enhance their learning. I am overwhelmed both professionally and personally – it is not about the money, it is about the message –that people with disabilities are valuable members of society and it is our obligation to support them and to nurture them – mind, body and spirit”. The members of the local UCT decided to surprise the staff and students with an additional cheque for $2500 as they felt the students should have won first place. As well, the students were promised a pizza lunch in the upcoming days as part of the celebration. The money will go towards the purchase of technology to support the Lifeskills students in their ongoing learning.

On Wednesday April 09, Hally Willmott, school Police Liaison officer and five Sudbury Regional Police officers staged a mock lock down at Marymount Academy.

The police were very impressed with the way the staff and students conducted themselves. The results of the lock down drill will help the school improve policy and procedures for student safety.

St. Raphael Celebrates their “Hero”

Posted on by admin

St. Raphael Catholic Elementary School Students, staff and community partners were on hand to celebrate one of their own on Wednesday, April 9. Primary Lifeskills student Wii’um Morin was the honoured guest as he has been selected to be one of the Canadian Down syndrome heroes for 2014. The school wanted to show Wii’um how proud they were of him, and spoke of his outstanding character, creativity and loving spirit. Wii’um took it all in stride while sitting on the stage, and quietly listened as teacher Kelly Beaton spoke of his exceptional personality, and unique outlook on life.
