A helpful reminder for students to proofread the work they submit!
Some useful vocabulary for our junior students. The file contains valuable vocabulary posters used in EQAO, Reading comprehension, writing and mathematics. We will be reviewing in class. ![]()
Dear parents/guardians:
Further to our September letter and the September information night, as part of the Confirmation process, all children who have registered to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on May 7th, 2016, must attend a retreat which will take place at St Bernard Church on Saturday, March 5th, 2016 between 9am and 1:30pm. This retreat is a special opportunity for all of the Confirmation students to come together from all 3 schools to get the final guidelines for the Confirmation ceremony at Notre Dame Cathedral. Parents who would like to take part are invited to attend a free separate short programme in the church at 9am. Your child is required to attend the whole retreat. A fee of $20 will be collected at the retreat to cover the cost which includes a pizza lunch and a workbook which will be sent home at the end of the day. Your child can not be confirmed on May 7th unless we have proof that he or she has attended a parish retreat. Please RSVP by email ([email protected]) with your child’s name and his/her school, by Friday, January 22nd, to let us know if he or she will or will not be attending so that arrangements can be made for food and space. Also please let us know if you are interested in participating in the parent’s programme. Thank you for being part of the faith journey of your child as this Sacrament is an important step in strengthening your child’s Catholic faith. Mary Nader, Sacramental Team Coordinator ![]()

![]() Just before the holidays students submitted their novel study work book and their Novel Study Report based on The Best Christmas Pageant by Barbra Robinson we read in December. Students were asked to write summaries, a book reviews, make connections and so on. Their work has been marked and the rubric/checklist will be sent home for your signature later this week. Before the rubric/checklist goes home, students will be completing a self-assessment of their own work. They will be looking at their own reading comprehension, work completion and organization skills. Starting this week, students has been asked to start thinking of their next book for an upcoming book report later this month. I have some books students may pick from. The only stipulation is that they need to read a book someone else in the class is as well. Confirmation Information:
