Director’s Message: Catholic Education Week 2008

Posted on by admin

Catholic Education Week takes place this year from April 27 to May 2, 2008. During this week the Catholic Community celebrates the unique and distinctive contribution that Catholic Schools make to our students, our community and our Province. Catholic Education Week is a welcome opportunity to celebrate the Mission of our Catholic Schools as they strive to integrate the Gospel values of Jesus Christ in every aspect of the school’s curriculum.

This year’s theme, “We are Called” celebrates the fact that each of us has been called by God, and not just called as a collective, but called by name. “I have called you and you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1) Amid life’s joy’s and sorrows, its challenges and doubts, these words can be a source of inspiration and a reaffirmation of faith.

Five sub-themes, one for each of the five days of Catholic Education Week help us to understand the rich meaning of this year’s theme.

Day 1…to Act Justly
Day 2…to Love Tenderly
Day 3…to Walk Humbly
Day 4…to Serve Generously
Day 5…to Live Peacefully

Catholic Education Week 2008 begins on a Sunday to highlight the partnership that remains the foundation of Catholic Education. We particularly want to underline the relationship of Catholic Schools with the broader Church community, especially with the parishes that remain the centre of the worshiping faith community.

Throughout Catholic Education Week, we encourage students, parents, teachers and staff to take pride in their 160-year plus tradition that has enriched generations through the continued support of all our Catholic partners.

Sudbury Catholic Schools Launches Specialist High Skills Major

Posted on by admin

Rick Bartolucci, MPP for the City of Greater Sudbury joined George Middleton, Chair of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, Catherine McCullough, Director of Education, Trustees, Senior Administration, students, staff and many of the Board’s partners in education in celebrating the launch of the Specialist High Skills Major (Health and Wellness) program recently at St. Charles College.

The Specialist High Skills Major program (SHSM) enables students to customize their high school experience to suit their interests and talents, and prepare for a successful post secondary transition to apprenticeship training, college, university or employment while meeting the requirements of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).

Sudbury Catholic through the Student Success Initiative has implemented the SHSM (Health and Wellness) program at St. Charles College to provide students interested in health sciences an opportunity to gain knowledge, skills and experience in a health care setting. SHSM students will be exposed to facets of health science at the post secondary level as they participate in the dual credit program through Cambrian College. Sudbury Catholic has also been fortunate to partner with the Sudbury Regional Hospital, Northern Ontario School of Medicine, St. Joseph’s Villa, Science North, Extendicare Falconbridge, Cambrian College, the Northeastern Ontario Regional Cancer Centre and numerous private community partners who will assist in providing experiential learning cooperative educational opportunities for the Board’s students.

St. Benedict Student Awarded $5,000 Toyota Earth Day Scholarship

Posted on by admin

The Toyota Earth Day Scholarship Program has recognized Dayna Corelli, a Grade 12 student at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School as one of this year’s fifteen $5,000 scholarship winners. The award recognizes her outstanding achievements in environmental community service, academics and extracurricular participation. Dayna is among an elite group of students from across Canada chosen from a pool of more than 400 applicants.

“These students are involved in an array of inspiring projects that are having significant impact on their communities,” said Jed Goldberg, President of Earth Day Canada. “They are truly stepping forward as the environmental leaders of tomorrow.”

Dayna led her school’s Envirothon team to first place in a 2007 competition where she had the opportunity to make recommendations to the City of Greater Sudbury regarding water and energy conservation. She is active in other environmental initiatives in her community and also helped her Ontario team win a gold medal at a national soccer championship.

At school, Dayna keeps environmental considerations clearly in focus as the president of her student council.She is also a senior member of the Environmental Club, a role in which she coordinates the school’s recycling program and promotes energy efficiency and water conservation projects. Despite her busy schedule Dayna manages to find time to volunteer with the community’s nonprofit organizations. She was instrumental in helping a local youth centre win funding through the Young Philanthropist Challenge and spends time campaigning for Efficient Sudbury, an organization promoting home energy efficiency.

Dayna was presented with a $5,000 ceremonial cheque at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School on Tuesday, April 22, (Earth Day) by Mike Charbonneau, Area Parts and Service Manager for Toyota’s Northern Ontario Division. “On behalf of Toyota Canada it gives me great pleasure to present Dayna Corelli with the Toyota Earth Day Scholarship award for her commitment to environmental stewardship and her unending desire to improve the environment,” stated Charbonneau. “This scholarship will help to further her education and help her develop into one of Canada’s future environmental leaders.”

Dayna will now move on as a finalist for the Toyota Earth Day Scholarship National Award. The student chosen from among the 15 finalists will be presented with a Panasonic notebook computer at a ceremony on May 22, 2008

Racing Against Drugs at Lionel E. Lalonde Centre

Posted on by admin

More than 600 students from eleven Sudbury Catholic Schools participated in the Racing Against Drugs (RAD) event at the Lionel Lalonde Centre in Azilda recently. RAD is a community-based drug, alcohol and tobacco awareness program offering different learning opportunities, (racing pit stops) from police, public health, addictions agencies and numerous other community partners.

The car racing also afforded students the ability to take part in numerous “hands on” interactive teaching events such as Day Construction’s Driving Simulator, the Sudbury and District Health Unit’s Impaired Goggles, and a Racing Slot Car Track. As the students moved through 11 pits stops or teaching events they learned about the consequences of “drinking and driving,” driving too fast, the effects of alcohol drugs and tobacco on the body as well as its legal and social consequences. The students were also introduced to educational modules on nutrition, diet, physical fitness and motivational sessions to inspire them to make the right leisure and social activity choices.

The purpose of the drug education initiative is to utilize the sport of auto racing to capture the attention of young people and communicate with them through an exciting and high profile sport (such as auto racing) which has no tolerance for substance abuse. Students raced each other by remote control on 1:24 slot car race track with the winner of the day’s event winning a bike for their school.

Sudbury Catholic Schools would like to thank the following service groups, corporations and agencies for supporting the Racing Against Drugs Event. ATV Safety, EMS (Bike Safety), Day Construction (Driving Simulator), Healthy Choices, Megan McGrath, (Positive Role Models), Greater Sudbury Police Services, Sudbury Action Committee for Youth, (SACY) Sudbury and District Health Unit, the City of Greater Sudbury Fire Department, Ministry of Transportation, (MTO) and the Racing Slot Car Track.
