Cards Shine at Aboriginal Entrepreneurship Fair

Students who are part of the Paul Martin Aboriginal Initiative at St. Charles College were given a task first semester – develop a business by finding a niche in the market. Second semester, they massaged the plan by creating a sound business plan.

The teachers of the program, Paola Gutscher and Jason Michelutti mentored the students and provided them with educational outings tailored to their plan.

The outcome was tremendous – fish hatchery business, a T-Comics (Tribal Comics) company, a business that caters to seniors to assist with cooking and lawn care and the list goes on.

The program is geared towards Aboriginal students interested in business and will run again next year.

SCC Supports Bill 45

In support of World no Tobacco day, which is May 30th, youth advocates from St. Charles College showed their support for the recent passing of bill 45 in the Ontario Legislature. The students wanted to raise awareness of the bill, which has the goal of enhancing public health by putting restrictions on flavoured tobacco, e-cigarettes, and on tobacco in public spaces. The SCC students created a sign along the Falconbridge highway to raise awareness of the passing of the bill. Please share #thx4bill45 if you would like to see a smoke free Ontario, and an Ontario where no youth feels the need to inappropriately use tobacco products.

Cultural Skyping with “Mr. Tim” and Students in Egypt

It was a morning of cultural education in Mr. Emond’s World Issues classroom on May 28.  The St. Charles College students skyped with Mr. Tim Kingshott and his students in Cairo, Egypt today where it was more than 40 degrees Celsius mid afternoon.

Mr. Tim Kingshott is a St. Charles College teacher but is teaching Physics and Math in English at a high school in Egypt this year, where students refer to him as “Mr. Tim”. The two groups of students got together to exchange questions about each other’s countries.

Students in Egypt asked questions about maple syrup, World Cup soccer, the Canadian army, as well as after school jobs, bullying, safety and British monarchy.  While the Egyptian students fielded questions about life in the Middle East.    

Next week, the SCC students will be skyping with an English teacher situated in Damascus, Syria. 

A number of students at St. Charles College have created a World Issues Club.  The club will be hosting its first big charity fundraising gala Friday night at the Croatian Hall.  If interested, call the school at 566-9605 for more information.
