Secondary Students Participate in Diversity Day!

Sudbury Catholic District School Board hosted its first ever Diversity Day for secondary students on Friday, May 5th, with the goal of breaking down stereotypes and supporting all students in our schools, in particular racialized students. The morning was spent meeting with young people from different cultures and learning about their experiences living and attending school in Sudbury. We also spent time examining who has power in our world and what we can do in the face of oppression, colonialism and white privilege. The afternoon was work time, where each high school got together with school mates and determined a campaign to bring their learning of diversity back to their schools.

A beautiful day of learning and action, determining “what we all share” as we move forward towards a more equitable future for all!

St. Benedict students celebrate Catholic Education Week with artwork!

St. Benedict students completed artwork based on the one of the sub-themes of Catholic Education Week. Each group brainstormed what that theme meant and how it could be applied to our lives in the year 2017. We then gave each group a large piece of mural paper and had them visually represent their understanding of their theme. There was very little teacher input, and the Grade 8 students as what their theme meant to them and their lives.

St. Benedict Students take a stand for positivity!

St. Benedict Catholic Elementary School Grade 7 & 8 students were recognized for completing a six week Well-being and Leadership Program: Power To Be Positive. The program was offered by St. Benedict staff and the Sudbury & District Health Unit. Students engaged in learning about growth mindset, positive self-talk and attitudes. The students focused on resilience and productive ways to manage stress and anxiety. Students also reflected on their own strengths and used this awareness to help to develop leadership skills.
