Last Thursday, we held our annual "Celebration of Learning" for our Year 2 Kindergarten students. Following a short presentation and 2 songs, families gathered together inside or outside for a picnic lunch.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day of profound significance.
At HSCDSB, we are proud to recognize and honour the rich heritage, contributions, diversity and achievements of Canada’s First Nations, Inuit and Métis people.

The history, art, voices, traditions, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples are not just a part of our past but a dynamic, living influence that continues to shape and inspire us today.

Fostering connections and joy: Families of SMFI, St. Jerome Parish, and Holy Cross gather for an uplifting soccer event at NCC! Thank you to all families who were able to join!

The HSCDSB STEAM LAB provided Grade 6/7 students with a transformative learning experience, as they harnessed the power of coding micro bits to create step counters and program smart cars. This field trip embodied their potential for positive impact and future innovation!

Students in Gr. 3/4 enjoyed this beautiful day learning at St. Kateri. They learned about the importance of teamwork, safety, and taking care of our earth. They discussed habitats and food chains with Mr. Sicoly. He reminded them about the needs of living things and together they listed advantages and disadvantages of being predators, prey and decomposers. They played games, went on a Scavenger Hunt and ended with a group hike. It was a great day! We are feeling blessed.☀️🌳❤️

St. Mary's French Immersion kicked off Catholic Education Week with an event celebrating Indigenous culture. Bear Creek drummers and dancers demonstrated various styles of dance for our school community. Students had the opportunity to ask questions of the Jingle Dress Dancers, Grass Dancer, Traditional Dancer and Fancy Dancers! Our school community learned so much and we are so grateful that they were able to come and share their gifts and culture with us.
