What's New!

By Anonymous -

 It has been a busy start to the year.   The grade 12 classes have gone on
retreats to Oxley.  It was a great opportunity to connect as a class and
think about what the future might bring.  We have also had guest speakers
from the Windsor Occupational Health Information Service for the grade 12
students.  The students have learned about their rights as workers and
about harassment in the workplace.  We hope that this will help them as
they go off into the work force.
Grade 11 students have been learning about aboriginal spirituality.  They
created great totem poles and presentations on the topics.  Some have also looked into the truth and reconciliation commission.  There were great suggestions as to how we could build healing in our country.
We hope to continue the great learning that has been going on in the department.

As a class, we are conducting prayers together (a different student is responsible for a prayer each day) along with daily intentions.  The poster (containing post it notes of each student's Lenten promise) is a daily reminder to keep our commitments to God and to ourselves.  ​​

 The year is coming to a close and with that, the YPI event has also wrapped up. This event has grade 10 students in the religion classes research and visit a local charity in a bid to win funds for that charity.  These funds go a long way to help out the people of Windsor Essex.  This year has posed a challenge for the teachers and students in grade 10 who participated in YPI.  However, they still rose to the challenge and produced amazing work. This year we would like to congratulate:  Maya Williams for Noah's House  Donnovan Bennett for Family Respite Services  Raein Zara, Noah Hammett, Haydin Blain, Ben Farina, Louis Tessier, Hunter Moore for Ronald McDonald House Maryam Sako, Hailey Mallett, Sedra Yousif for Windsor Women Working with Immigrant Women Also a huge congratulations and thank you to Beth Peacock and Dawn Ibrahim who have worked with these students to help them produce such amazing work.   This could not function without you both.
