St. Benedict SHSM Students Visit Hatch Engineering!

Posted on by Carlee Vendramin

Students from St Benedict Computer Science class and the SHSM Business students attended a fieldtrip to Hatch Engineering accompanied by our teachers Maurizio Depoli and Giuseppe Politi.    

Our students had the opportunity to tour the new Hatch facility on Regent St to spark their interest in the many future careers that exist at Hatch and other engineering fields.  The engineers at Hatch facilitated sessions for the students to introduce them to the world of electrical and mechanical engineering, while feeding them a delicious lunch too!

“The building was designed by their own architects; this is very cool thinking the employees got to create their own workspace.” – Anthony Gutscher 

The students were also shown how machinery and engineering are used in mining.  The presentation gave the students a glimpse of how technology is used in the workplace and how new technology is being developed to create a safer environment for all workers.  

“This visit to Hatch showed me the ins and outs of engineering and I was inspired by this field of work.”– Katelyn Colasimone 

Mr. Depoli along with our students will partner with Hatch to start our First Robotics Canada program.  This exciting new venture will be great learning opportunity for our Bears!  

Katie Martel, a St Benedict Alumnus, organized the day for our students to learn about how science can work in so many different ways!

Family Literacy Day 2023

Posted on by Erin Kendall

Family Literacy Day is an important event that is celebrated annually in Canada on January 27th. The day is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of literacy and the role that families play in supporting the literacy development of their children.

Sudbury Catholic District School Board recognizes the crucial role that literacy plays in the success of our students. Literacy is not only the ability to read and write, but also the ability to understand and use information in a variety of contexts. It is essential for academic success and for personal growth and development.

We also acknowledge the important role that families play in promoting literacy at home. Research has shown that children who have parents and guardians who read to them, talk to them, and encourage them to read independently, have a stronger foundation in literacy which can help them succeed at school.

That is why we encourage all of our families to participate in Family Literacy Day activities. Reading together as a family, visiting the library, and participating in literacy-related events can all be fun and engaging ways to promote literacy and support the literacy development of our students.

On this Family Literacy Day, let’s celebrate the power of literacy and the importance of families working together to support the literacy development of their children. Let’s work together to create a literate and informed community, where every child has the opportunity to succeed.

Family Literacy Day 2023 Theme: Celebrate your Heritage

Canada is a diverse country full of different cultures. On Friday, January 27th, 2023, ABC Life Literacy has encouraged us all to take time to explore and learn more about our heritage with our families.

SCC Students Create more than 500 Cards for Veterans Overseas

Posted on by Carlee Vendramin

Grade 7-12 students at St. Charles College created and wrote more than 500 cards for Veterans who are deployed overseas. These Veterans will not be home for Christmas. Mr. Perron’s students were able to drop by the Legion to spread some Christmas cheer and share a few of the cards that students created.   

The following is a message from retired veteran Rick Smith of Lockerby Legion Br 564: 

“We thank the students and teachers from St. Charles College for their contributions in making these Christmas cards for Veterans deployed overseas. These Veterans will not be home for Christmas and are always in need of Christmas cheer. Sudbury thanks you for helping the Legion and your ongoing support of Veterans.”

Pius XII Penguins Fill a Crib in Support of the Infant Food Bank

Posted on by Carlee Vendramin

This Christmas season the Pius XII School community is pleased to once again be participating in the “Fill A Crib” campaign to support the Infant Food Bank in Sudbury and our community’s most vulnerable: babies and toddlers. There is a crib located in the front lobby of our school where new and gently used items can be donated and used to help over 800 families in need in our community.  The Pius XII community has already filled the crib with over 200 items. Well done, Penguins!

St. Charles School in Chelmsford Hosts a ‘CEREALsly’ Entertaining Fundraiser For the Friendship House Food Bank 

Posted on by Carlee Vendramin

 To spread kindness this past Fall, staff and students at St. Charles Catholic School in Chelmsford collected 245 boxes of cereal to help feed the community through the Friendship House Food Bank. 

Students collected boxes of cereal throughout the community for two weeks. On November 18, 2022, the school celebrated their efforts by creating a giant row of dominos and visually demonstrating how one small act of kindness can cause a ripple effect. 

Melodie Winn, Grade 2/3 French Immersion Teacher at St. Charles School hopes to complete this fundraiser each year! 

“At St. Charles, we are always looking for ways to help our community. Giving students an opportunity to see how a small act of kindness can make a big difference for others is always rewarding as a teacher. It was very exciting to watch as the boxes toppled over, and the students cheered with excitement, all while understanding that there is a greater cause behind it,” she said. 

“Melodie Winn’s idea that one small act can create a massive positive impact for our community has provided our students with a wonderful opportunity to help create social justice for all,” said Angela Polischuk, Principal at St. Charles School. 

“We enjoyed helping people that don’t have as much food. It was cool to watch the cereal boxes fall!” said Ashton Willoughby, Grade 3 at St. Charles School. 

To take their message of kindness one step further, St. Charles Rams are asking schools within our community to complete their own cereal box domino chains in support of local Food Banks. 

BAC Constructs Custom Warming Station for Local Snowmobile Club

Posted on by Carlee Vendramin

Bishop Alexander Carter Secondary School built a custom warming station for the Valley Trailmasters Snowmobile Club. Over 70 students in grades seven through 12 worked on the warming shelter, which took approximately seven weeks to complete. Most of the 70 participating students were students in Grades 7 and 8, with a small group of current SHSM students acting as mentors in their supporting roles. Throughout the course of the project, the grade 7 and 8 students were exposed to Bishop Alexander Carter’s technology courses and trades areas, as well as the Green Industries and Manufacturing Specialist High Skills Major Programs, which Grade 11 and 12 students are able to enrol in.

“There are so many job opportunities in the trades right now. We try to start introducing students to the trades as young as Grade Seven, so that they can see the pathway opportunities with their own eyes. Students designed and constructed everything within the shelter – from the fireplace to the frame. I’m very proud of them,” said Paul Mailloux, Co-Op teacher at Bishop Alexander Carter C.S.S.

Grade 12 student, Noah Brabant throughly enjoyed the experience.

“The best part about the experience was completing the welding. That’s why I wanted to do this, I wanted the experience to learn about trades and experience it first hand!” he said.

2022 Bullying Awareness & Prevention Week

Posted on by Erin Kendall

November 20th, 2022 is the beginning of Ontario’s 9th annual Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week. This week allows school boards to focus the spotlight for one week on promoting safe schools and creating a positive learning environment.

Bullying prevention promotes the development of healthy relationships that involve respectful interactions between people, face-to-face and online. The goal is to help ensure that all students have healthy, safe, respectful and caring relationships with everyone in their lives. 

Teachers, parents/guardians, and other adults support and act as role models for students by showing them how healthy relationships can work. Students’ positive relationships with other students depend on positive relationships with adults. 

Students who have healthy relationships will be less likely to bully others, more likely to support students who are bullied and better able to reach their educational goals. Together, we are all invited to learn more about bullying by exploring reverent resources and participating in activities to identify and eradicate it.
