The Sudbury Catholic District School Board (SCDSB) invites parents, guardians, and interested members of the public to our annual Carousel Event—an evening of collaborative learning planned and hosted each spring by Sudbury Catholic’s Parent Involvement Committee (PIC). This engaging event brings families together to explore timely topics in education, offering expert tips, practical strategies, and meaningful insights to help support children and youth in today’s modern learning environment.
This year’s event will explore how families can support the FUTURE learner in an evolving world of technology and education, starting with the biggest elephant in the room… Artificial Intelligence (AI).
To help make this evening accessible for families, free dinner and childcare will be provided to all those who register. Water stations will also be available, and attendees are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles.
