e-Learning Summer School For Secondary

Posted on May 27, 2020May 27, 2020 by Carlee Vendramin

The Sudbury Catholic District School Board is proud to announce that we will be providing several new summer learning opportunities this year. We are now accepting registration for our Summer e-Learning Courses for secondary students. There will be several other learning opportunities offered this summer through the school board; this is just the first group of learning opportunities available.

Summer e-Learning Courses for Secondary Students

Summer e-Learning courses are full-credit courses available to students who are currently registered in grades 9-12. These courses are taught by qualified Ontario Teachers across the province. These courses are fully online and typically consist of a blend of online lessons and independent work. Students who are successful in a summer e-Learning course typically commit to working 4-6 hours a day from Monday-Friday for the 4 weeks that the summer course is offered. Secondary Summer e-Learning courses cover the same range of content that is typically covered during a full semester course in a condensed timeline.

Courses are offered in English, Math, Religion, Science, Social Studies, and the Humanities for students currently in grades 9-12.

The Sudbury Catholic District School board will be offering Grade 11 Religion (HRT3M), Grade 12 Religion (HRE4M), and Careers/Civics (CHV2O/GLC2O). Co-op may also be available in some circumstances.

SCC Students to Send out Birthday Cards to WWII Vet

Posted on March 9, 2020March 9, 2020 by Carlee Vendramin

A World War two veteran is about to get a lot of St. Charles College fan mail!

In early February, the CBC News had posted an article about a WWII Vet, Fred Arsenault, who was looking forward to celebrating his 100th birthday on March 6th.

Because Mr. Arsenault enjoys receiving mail and the nostalgia it brings from days long ago, his son made an appeal on social media asking friends and family to send birthday cards to his father in hopes of receiving one hundred of them in time for the big event.

Students in 7A, 7C, 8D and the 7/8 class all heard about Mr. Arsenault and decided to make him 100 birthday cards from the students at SCC.

We’re sure he’s going to be super excited to receive all the beautiful cards the students made.
