Summer school credits for secondary students
In order for a student to be eligible to complete a summer school credit, they must be enrolled in a recognized Ontario Secondary School. All summer school registrations are done through the guidance department at the school that the student is currently enrolled in. There are a variety of secondary level credits at both the applied and academic level available this summer. For more information about the availability of specific courses, please contact your guidance department.
All secondary summer school credits are offered through eLearning (including summer coop). Students need access to a computer and reliable internet access in order to access their course material and submit completed work. Summer courses start the first week after school ends. The deadline to register is typically 2 weeks before school ends in June.
Students typically require 4-6 hours per day Monday-Friday in order to complete an elearning summer course. Coop courses require a minimum of 110 work hours. All Sudbury Catholic students must attend a mandatory in-class orientation session on the first day of summer school which is typically the first week day after the July long weekend.
For more information, please feel free to email Jillian Ospina.

Secondary Students Participate in Diversity Day!
Sudbury Catholic District School Board hosted its first ever Diversity Day for secondary students on Friday, May 5th, with the goal of breaking down stereotypes and supporting all students in our schools, in particular racialized students. The morning was spent meeting with young people from different cultures and learning about their experiences living and attending school in Sudbury. We also spent time examining who has power in our world and what we can do in the face of oppression, colonialism and white privilege. The afternoon was work time, where each high school got together with school mates and determined a campaign to bring their learning of diversity back to their schools.
A beautiful day of learning and action, determining “what we all share” as we move forward towards a more equitable future for all!
Bishop Carter Alexander hosts Health and Wellness Day for students
Bishop Alexander Carter C.S.S hosted it’s second annual Health and Wellness Day on Thursday May 4th 2017. The day was organized to help give students several different options on how to deal with stress and become more physically active. The day was divided to give each grade two classroom sessions along with two active sessions throughout the day. Lunch was prepared by students and staff for all participants. A nice warm bowl of soup along with greek salad and either egg or chicken salad sandwiches definitely added to the event and the promotion of healthy eating. The event concluded with a great motivational speech by author Connor LaRocque.

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