STRESS! We all experience it.

That’s why Sudbury Catholic Schools is pleased to invite you to register for our upcoming wellness webinar in January. At this webinar, two outstanding guest presenters will tackle this topic and provide coping strategies for dealing with stress.

WHEN: WEDNESDAY JANUARY 19 AT 5:30 PM

More Information:

Alina Rukkila MSW, RSW and Jessie Jones CYW will lead us through an engaging session on dealing with the different types of stress and provide helpful strategies and tips we can incorporate to help us manage it when it happens.

We all know that not all types of stress are bad. Good types of stress can help you focus, ensure you meet your daily challenges, and encourage you to reach specific goals you have for yourself. However, it’s essential to understand the difference between good and harmful types of stress. Over time, a continued strain on the body put on from stress can get the best of you. It’s paramount to identify the causes of daily stress and manage the intensity of these feelings. By knowing healthy coping strategies, we can enjoy life and learn happily.

St. Benedict celebrates World Autism Day

Posted on April 7, 2017 by admin

To celebrate World Autism Awareness Day, students and staff at St. Benedict C.S.S paid a toonie to dress in blue, donating over $750 to Autism Ontario. As part of their Raise the Flag Campaign, the ASD class baked 350 cookies and handed them out to those showing their support by wearing blue. Members of the school community signed giant puzzle pieces, that are now displayed in the Communication classroom as a visual reminder of the supportive St. Ben’s community they are so fortunate to be a part of.

St. Benedict teacher Giuseppe Politi wins Community Builders Award

Posted on March 8, 2017 by admin

Giuseppe was awarded the Community Builders Award for Sports and Recreation. He had an outstanding career as a soccer player before becoming a qualified soccer coach. He is the boys’ coach for St. Benedict, head coach of the women’s and men’s programs at Cambrian College, the head coach at the Greater Sudbury Soccer Club, a coach developer with the Ontario Soccer Association and he coaches at the Northern Soccer Academy. He says he believes in Sudbury soccer and in raising the bar of the sport in the city. He acknowledges he is highly invested so, of course, he advocates strongly for a soccer centre, including a bubble or dome so local players have the same advantages as others across the province during the winter months. He gives a nod to former coaches, players’ parents, and officials, not wanting to miss anyone who played a role in his success. He specifically mentions his mom, Antonietta. “If I didn’t have my mother as my #1 support system, this soccer thing never would have happened.”

Congratulations and well-done Giuseppe.
