Last Thursday Mrs. Coleman and the prayer
group held the May Crowning at All Hallows Church to celebrate May as the month
to honour Mary.
On Monday we held our annual school Science
Fair for students in grades 4-9. We would like to thank our judges Mme. Marie
Claude Renard, Mr. Wayne Spencer, Mr. Cec Lake, Dr. Dwayne Keough, and Dr.
Carla Wells. The judges awarded top
medals to Natalie Parsons, Rebecca Janes, Keira Clarke, Clare Coleman, Kori
Noel, Max Chrappa, Madison Noel, and Rebekah Calbert. This year the grade three
students chose to complete individual projects. The judges awarded three
honourable mentions to grade three students Charlotte Mercier, Noah Colbourne
and Brooke Watton. The junior kindergarten to grade two students conducted
experiments in groups.
On Monday we welcomed back the students and
teachers who toured Italy as part of the EF School Tours. The group visited
Rome, Assisi, Florence, Verona, and Venice. During their trip they visited and
toured many churches, historical sites, and learned about local and traditional
crafts produced in Italy.
Mrs. Coleman and Mrs. George hosted a
pre-holy communion celebration in our chapel on Monday evening for grade two
students preparing for their first Holy Communion. Prayer group members: Aria
Kazerouni, Colin Spencer and Rebekah Calbert were also in attendance to assist
with this celebration.
The grade four students have completed their
art project on animal habitats with Jane Reagh. The students’ artwork is on
display in the cafeteria windows. The group is planning on presenting and
explaining their artwork to classes next week. The class would like to thank
Jane for leading this project. They really enjoyed working with you!
We would like to congratulate Dr. Graham our
musical director for “Oliver Twist” and all of our students for their wonderful
performance last night. Everyone worked very hard and it was a wonderful show.
Thank you to all our teachers and students for their behind the scenes work.
Today we are having a casual day in aid of
the annual Janeway Telethon.
