Throughout June, we challenged our students to complete the Daily Trivia Challenge! There were two different categories: a scavenger hunt themed challenge for Kindergarten to Grade 6 students and a trades trivia challenge for Grade 7 – Grade 12 students. 32 elementary students participated from six different schools and 50 secondary students participated from all of our secondary schools. Our two winners are:
• Addisyn Doherty from Pius XII School
• Esther Oseni-K. from St. Benedict School
The two winners were happy to complete the challenges and eager to get the correct answers for each day.
“The contest was a great opportunity for all students. I am glad to have participated in the contest because I had learned a lot from the experience. I would like to say thank you for organizing such a great trivia challenge contest,” said Esther.
“I really enjoyed completing the scavenger hunt, it was so fun to find the answer to the clue around my house each day!,” said Addisyn.
Thanks to all for participating in this fun and educational challenge!

The Sudbury Catholic District School Board is proud to announce that we will be providing several new summer learning opportunities this year. We are now accepting registration for our Summer e-Learning Courses for secondary students. There will be several other learning opportunities offered this summer through the school board; this is just the first group of learning opportunities available.
Summer e-Learning Courses for Secondary Students
Summer e-Learning courses are full-credit courses available to students who are currently registered in grades 9-12. These courses are taught by qualified Ontario Teachers across the province. These courses are fully online and typically consist of a blend of online lessons and independent work. Students who are successful in a summer e-Learning course typically commit to working 4-6 hours a day from Monday-Friday for the 4 weeks that the summer course is offered. Secondary Summer e-Learning courses cover the same range of content that is typically covered during a full semester course in a condensed timeline.
Courses are offered in English, Math, Religion, Science, Social Studies, and the Humanities for students currently in grades 9-12.
The Sudbury Catholic District School board will be offering Grade 11 Religion (HRT3M), Grade 12 Religion (HRE4M), and Careers/Civics (CHV2O/GLC2O). Co-op may also be available in some circumstances.

Please view the following link which contains resources designed to help support and to compliment what teachers have planned as we move to a distance learning approach.
In response to the CONVID-19 virus, Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health advised all 72 Ontario School Boards to close their schools from March 14 – April 5, 2020 to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff. While our schools are closed, we are committed to keep you informed.
The Ministry of Education has launched a new online platform to
help students continue learning while schools are closed. While these materials
do not replace what students have been learning at school, during this unusual
time, these at-home activities offer quick and easy access to resources for students
from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
Elementary
resources are designed to help young students learn at home with interactive
activities that encourage participation through entertaining and stimulating
digital content. High school content was designed with a focus on STEM courses
and ensure core competencies and skills are reinforced.
We know this is an uncertain time for our province and our country. Students may experience a range of emotions during the COVID-19 situation. Please see the following resource from School Mental Health Ontario designed to provide mental health support and tools for students:
On behalf of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, we thank you for your partnership and cooperation as we do our part to practice social distancing and flatten the curve. We will continue to keep you updated on our website and on our social media pages.
