SCDSB celebrates faith and wellness as a system!

Posted on by Carlee Vendramin

 All Sudbury Catholic District School Board staff gathered together on October 26 for the annual Faith PA day celebration! The day started with a Mass led by Bishop Marcel Damphousse. A Choir made up of SCDSB staff also joined in, providing us with many wonderful songs to complete our Eucharistic celebration. Following the Mass, Dr. Ian Manion, a psychologist and BellLetsTalk panelist, provided a thought-provoking and powerful presentation about the importance of mental health and wellbeing. 

The afternoon consisted of break-sessions where staff were able to sign up for an activity. Sessions ranged from yoga and physical fitness activities, sports games, mental health and wellbeing talks and even an escape room! 

We thank all staff who attended the day and fully embraced the theme of wellness, and all those who helped organize the days events and activities!

Today, we honour those hard workers who help keep our schools clean, safe and well looked after. Today, is National Custodial Day – a day to appreciate our wonderful custodial and maintenance staff for all the hard work that they do. Be sure to thank them today. Here are some thoughts from staff and students:

“Every morning, we walk in and our schools are clean and ready to go. There’s a huge team that makes sure our school is a warm and inviting place to be!” Aaron Barry, Principal at Marymount Academy

“Our custodian always makes sure to greet each and every student with a warm smile every day” Tracy, teacher at St. Francis School

“They’re not just custodial staff, they are part of our family within our school community.” Kira, student at Bishop Alexander Carter

“They help keep our school yard clean and safe!” student at Immaculate Conception school.

On behalf of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, we thank them or all that they do – Our schools and offices would not be the same without them.

Every Child Matters: Sudbury Catholic Schools Honours Orange Shirt Day

Posted on by Carlee Vendramin

Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come. Orange Shirt Day recognizes the harm the residential school system did to children’s sense of self-esteem and well-being, and is an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters.

The Sudbury Catholic District School Board participated in Orange Shirt Day on October 1, 2018. Special shirts were made to commemorate this important day. The shirts were designed by Erika Poirier and Marja Frederiksen, grade 11 students from St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School. The logo designed was used for t-shirts, banners and other promotional materials. Staff and students throughout the system participated by wearing these shirts or their favourite orange shirt as a reminder of the importance of this day.

How you can support Catholic Education

Posted on by admin

Ensuring you are registered as a separate school supporter is important for the protection and preservation of Catholic education in Ontario. Catholic ratepayers must declare themselves to be Catholic and separate school electors to vote in the election of separate school trustees in Municipal elections.

How to check if you are registered:

• Visit www.voterlookup.ca to check the accuracy of your voter information.
• Call you Municipal Clerk’s Office to inquire how to check the local list of electors.

If your name is not on the list of electors or if the information is incorrect, you should:

• Update or change the information, add a name to an address, or change your school support directly on the www.voterlookup.ca website.

At the Polling Station:

• Verify that you are registered as a separate school supporter. If your support status is incorrect ask for an “application to Amend Voters’ List, which may be completed and submitted at the polling station.
• Ensure the ballot you are given is a separate school ballot.
