This month, Sudbury Catholic District School Board Director of Education, Morris Hucal, visited St. Albert Adult Learning Centre to experience firsthand the innovative programs and unique learning opportunities that make this school community one of a kind. It was a memorable visit — and one of many Mr. Hucal has made across our system as part of his personal commitment to celebrating and understanding what makes each of our schools so special. The answer, of course, lies in the programs, the people, and the genuine care that shine through every community.
During his visit at St. Albert, Mr. Hucal toured classrooms, met with students and staff, and explored the school’s successful Peace Pens & Beyond Program. This student-led initiative blends creativity, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurship as learners design and produce their own handcrafted items. With guidance from Educational Assistant Lynn Dubois and St. Albert PEACE student Trent, Mr. Hucal even rolled up his sleeves to craft his very own Peace Pen!
The visit also included time with students in the Personal Support Worker (PSW) program, who are developing both the practical skills and the compassion needed to build meaningful careers in care and service. Graduates from this program go on to provide essential support to members of our community who require daily living assistance due to age, illness, or disability.
These visits reflect the Board’s ongoing commitment to being present in our schools – listening to student voices, celebrating creativity, and witnessing the hands-on, faith-filled learning happening each day across our system.
The Sudbury Catholic District School Board joins school boards across Ontario in recognizing Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week, taking place November 17–21, 2025. This week provides an important opportunity to showcase kindness while reaffirming our shared commitment to creating safe, inclusive, and faith-filled learning environments where every student feels valued, supported, and respected.
Together, we are all invited to continue learning about bullying —exploring relevant resources and taking part in activities that help us identify, prevent, and ultimately eradicate it.
What to Expect?
Throughout the week, students, staff, and parents are encouraged to deepen their understanding of bullying and its impact on student learning and well-being. While bullying prevention is a year-round focus, this week serves as an important reminder of the work happening each day across K–12 schools.
Sudbury Catholic Schools use this time to highlight the different forms bullying can take and to promote kindness, gratitude, and acceptance through daily announcements, kindness clubs, classroom lessons, stories, and school-wide activities.
Our Role
Bullying prevention promotes the development of healthy relationships rooted in respect—both in person and online. As Catholic educators, parents/guardians, and caring adults, we all play a vital role in teaching and modelling relationships grounded in dignity, kindness, and empathy.
Throughout the week, Sudbury Catholic Schools will:
Share daily messages that promote kindness, inclusion, and respect;
Engage students in activities that build empathy and strengthen relationships;
Encourage student voice and leadership in promoting safe and welcoming environments;
Reinforce key expectations outlined in PPM 144: Bullying Prevention and Intervention.

The Sudbury Catholic District School Board (SCDSB) is proud to launch Amped Up Alumni, a new online series celebrating the achievements of Sudbury Catholic graduates. This initiative will feature inspiring stories from alumni across the decades who have and are making a difference in their careers, communities, and beyond.
“We are incredibly proud of our graduates and the many ways they continue to live out our Catholic values in the world,” said Director of Education, Morris Hucal. “The Amped Up Alumni series gives us the opportunity to recognize their accomplishments and inspire the next generation of students. Our goal is to showcase alumni from diverse backgrounds and pathways, highlighting the many possibilities awaiting our learners as they prepare for life after graduation.”
To bring these stories forward, the SCDSB is inviting community members to help identify alumni trailblazers. Whether in the trades, arts, sciences, sports, business, advocacy, or everyday acts of leadership and service, nominations are welcome for all graduates whose post-graduation journeys and accomplishments inspire others, highlighting the lifelong learning that lies at the heart of Sudbury Catholic Schools.
How to be Featured?
Community members are encouraged to nominate themselves or someone they know to be featured in Volume 1 of the series.
Through this campaign, the Board seeks to celebrate its Catholic roots, honour trailblazers, and amplify the voices of Sudbury Catholic alumni whose stories reflect resilience, leadership, and service.

Sudbury Catholic District School Board is proud to launch a new series spotlighting Sudbury Catholic graduates making waves in their careers locally, nationally, and around the globe.
Even a little rain couldn’t stop students at Immaculate Conception School from putting their knowledge into action for School Bus Safety Week! Thanks to the help from the school’s Student Bus Patrollers, students practiced important bus safety and evacuation procedures, learning how to stay safe while boarding, riding, and exiting the bus. A special thank you goes out to the dedicated student bus patrollers, who helped guide their younger peers and demonstrated leadership throughout the exercise.
Did you know that Immaculate is not the only school to have student bus patrollers? Earlier this year, elementary students across several Sudbury Catholic Elementary Schools, took part in Bus Patroller Training hosted by the Consortium. The training helps older students develop leadership skills and a sense of responsibility as they learn how to support younger riders in following safety rules on the bus.
To learn more about this and other school safety initiatives, check out our latest Director’s Corner blog!
Today, we celebrate Early Childhood Educators’ Day and recognize the incredible Early Childhood Educators who help shape the hearts and minds of our youngest learners.
When a child is old enough to begin school, it marks a special milestone for families – and an even bigger one for the students themselves. Our ECEs play a vital role in creating welcoming, nurturing, and engaging environments that spark curiosity and support the growth of every child. Through their care, creativity, and compassion, they lay the foundation for lifelong learning and faith-filled development.
What we don’t always see are the busy classrooms, the messes, and the less-than-perfect moments – but what we always see are the smiles, the dedication, and the passion our ECEs bring to their work each day.
On behalf of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, thank you for your dedication, kindness, and the joy you bring into our Kindergarten classrooms. Your work truly makes a difference.
Today, we join together to celebrate National Custodial Appreciation Day and recognize the exceptional contributions of our dedicated Custodial Team. This includes staff members such as custodians, assistant custodians, cleaners, BSTs, and maintenance staff.
It is no secret that these skilled professionals tackle some of the biggest and most physically demanding jobs in our school and office buildings, all in all ensuring safe, welcoming, and healthy environments where students can learn and staff can work with confidence. From meticulously maintained classrooms and hallways to spotless gyms, parking areas, and school grounds, their work touches every corner of our community. As we move through our school year, we do so with confidence, knowing that the educational experiences taking place each day are happening in spaces shaped by their strength, commitment, and exceptional attention to detail.
On behalf of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, we extend our sincere gratitude to all members of our custodial team. Your ongoing care and dedication ensure the safety and well-being of our entire community and continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of everyone at Sudbury Catholic Schools. Thank you for all that you do.
