St. Charles Students incorporate Indigenous Artwork into their School
The students of grade 5, 6 and 7 at St Charles are being inspired by great Canadian native artists such as Isaac Bignell, Norval Morrisseau, Benjamin Chee Chee and Glen Rabena amongst many others. They chose a piece to base themselves on and chose their favourite colours for their image. Now their beautiful masterpieces line our halls.
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.
