Thanks to Immaculate Conception Catholic Elementary School’s Educational Assistant, Moira Swiatek, students in the primary and junior division enjoy the resiliency based program called “Fun Friends.” In their groups, they discuss feelings & emotions, red & green thoughts and how to change the red thoughts into green or positive thoughts. The children also learn relaxation strategies to calm their bodies down. One of their favourite activities is called the “milkshake” breathing technique where students inhale a large breath and exhale through a straw into a cup of chocolate milk which then produces bubbles. Fun Friends is a safe environment where students can learn to be courageous and make life long friends.

In January, you will be invited to join the second step in this process – to review and help prioritize the thoughts that are most important to you. This will help us get a sense of the shared values and priorities of our schools and our community.

Please note that during this step, your thoughts will be shared with others but your name will always be kept confidential.

Your time spent engaging in this process is very much appreciated and will be used to establish the strategic priorities, which will guide our Board during the next 5 years.

Please join the conversation and share your thoughts with us. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at:
