Our junior high students hit the slopes at Kinosoo Ridge and proved that a little chill doesn’t stand a chance against teamwork, resilience, and a whole lot of fun. From learning new skills to cheering each other on, it was three days full of growth, laughter, and rosy cheeks.
Huge shoutout to our students for their positive attitudes and to our staff for making the day happen—winter adventures and memories were made! 🧣🌬️💙

🧑🍳 Chef’s hats off to our Senior High EAL students!
Our EAL learners brought their skills to the table today during a fun and friendly cooking competition at Assumption School. Creativity, teamwork, and some delicious flavours were on full display as students worked together to prepare their dishes.
A sincere thank you to:
• Ms. Shankowski for generously sharing the Home Ec room
• Paola and Oksana from Action for Healthy Communities
• System Excellence Coordinator, Sherry Depner, for supporting our students
• Ms. G for tackling the grocery run
• Our judges, Mrs. Sicard and Mme. Kelley, for taking on the tough (and tasty!) job of scoring the dishes
We are proud of the teamwork, confidence, and talent shown by our EAL students today. You truly cooked up something special!

Across the Division, students engaged in meaningful learning that built literacy and numeracy skills, encouraged problem‑solving, and strengthened confidence. From Learning Strategies at Assumption, to one‑to‑one literacy instruction at Holy Cross, to Grade 5/6 goal setting in Wellness at Holy Family, to numeracy work and shared reading at École Notre Dame Elementary, classrooms remained focused on learning that supports the whole child — academically, socially, and spiritually.
Students who were unable to attend were provided with learning activities to support continued learning from home.
Thank you to our families, staff, and students for their dedication to learning today. The day reinforced the importance of consistency and connection for students.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday!
