Students at St. Joseph in Killarney were treated to a day outside to do some physical literacy.
Mr. Blackwell, who specializes in Outdoor Education discussed habitats and how animals survive winter. The students then looked for clues/signs that animals leave behind and the stories they can tell us. The students also became ‘nature detectives’ in search for clues such as tracks, scat, chew marks and the sounds of geese.
To finish the day, they made pine cone bird feeders to take home and even hung one in the school groun
We wish to congratulate Anh Nguyen, Phillip Tran and Zihao Wang who won a video contest which involved creating a video in regards to their experience in Canada and with Sudbury Catholic and their host family.

Monica Dailey, one of the coaches says the win is “by far the most success the school team has had to date and with only two of the students graduating, there could be more success to come.”
The team was also coached by teacher John McDonald.
Vocal group students from St. Charles College performed with the band Foreigner last week during their concert at the Sudbury Arena.
The performance was part of a contest that the school won. The contest saw many schools within the City audition, and SCC was chosen as the winners!
A video of the performance can be seen here!Way to go Cards!
Students at Holy Cross school have created ‘God Boxes’ out of cards. The students designed and created the boxes themselves. The God Box is then filled with tangible things that remind the children what to thank God for, and what to pray for. Each student personalized their own box, and were encouraged to bring these boxes home, and continue to fill them with new hopes and prayers.
Each box also had a special letter attached. Father’s Love Letter” is a paraphrased compilation of bible verses that is presented in the form of a letter from God to his children.
Staff and students wore their favourite pink shirts to celebrate #PinkShirtDay. Pink Shirt Day is celebrated each February to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
