Sudbury Catholic Staff Celebrate Board Wide Wellness Day!

Posted on April 25, 2019May 2, 2019 by Carlee Vendramin

Wellness is the quality or state of being healthy in mind, body and spirit – especially as the result of deliberate effort. It is seen as an approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to emphasizing treating diseases.

Sudbury Catholic Schools staff put their wellness first by participating in a Board Wide Wellness Day! Staff were encouraged to complete a wellness activity throughout their work day that would help enhance their mind, body and spirit. From walking to yoga, indulging in a healthy lunch or trying meditation, the possibilities seemed endless!

Great job by all participants!

Sudbury Catholic Schools Staff Completes Successful 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Course

Posted on April 9, 2019April 17, 2019 by Carlee Vendramin

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People workshop of the Board’s Leadership Development program is alive and well.

The 2018-19 academic year has produced another class full of graduates from the program. Annually, the workshop recruits and develops approximately 20-25 aspiring leaders from all sectors of the Board in line with the organizations’ strategic pathway for Leadership Development.
Since the programs’ inception in 2012-13, approximately 150 employees of the Board are now living and practicing the finer tenets of Franklin Covey’s 7 Habits program.

It has been said that the workshop offers more than just a supervisor/ manager training program, rather a road map for complete personal/ professional attribute enhancement and overall effectiveness.
If you are an aspiring leader or an individual seeking to broaden your personal/ professional acumen and are interested in a potentially life changing opportunity, watch for next year’s opportunity to take part in this learning!
