St. Benedict students celebrate Catholic Education Week with artwork!
St. Benedict students completed artwork based on the one of the sub-themes of Catholic Education Week. Each group brainstormed what that theme meant and how it could be applied to our lives in the year 2017. We then gave each group a large piece of mural paper and had them visually represent their understanding of their theme. There was very little teacher input, and the Grade 8 students as what their theme meant to them and their lives.

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.

The students had fun bonding with friends, while enjoying some fresh air and exercise.

Dozens of garbage bags were filled and a good time was had by all!
