All Saints Blog Week of October 11th, 2016

Eva Olsson Presentation

This week, grade 7, 8 and 9 students had the opportunity to hear a presentation by Eva Olsson.  She is a survivor of the Holocaust who has dedicated her life to communicating a message of joy, hope and racial acceptance to young people of today's generation.  The focus of her talk is about the effects of bullying and the importance of not being  bystander to injustice.   

High School Dance

A big congratulations to our senior student council for organizing a very well attended dance last Wednesday evening.  The students chose the theme of “homecoming” in keeping with the spirit week they had developed the week before.  The atrium and gym were decorated beautifully, and the students had a great opportunity to socialize and dance the night away!  A special thank you to our students in grades 11 and 12 who came out in big numbers to support the evening.  Thanks to our many staff who volunteered to supervise for the night.

Math Homework Help

Homework Help is a valuable math resource for students in grades 7 to 10, as it allows them to access live, anonymous tutor chat sessions with certified Ontario teachers. In these sessions, the tutors will guide students to solve math questions after school hours. The live Homework Help chat room service is available for students from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM Sundays to Thursdays.

For Parents and Guardians:

Intro to Self-Regulation - Stress Behaviour versus Misbehaviour

Dr. Stuart Shanker will look at why children and youth are so overstressed today, with particular attention to the nature of hidden stressors and the distinction between misbehaviour and stress behaviour. He will look at explaining the 5 steps of self-regulation, not just in a way for parents to apply these with their children, but also for themselves.
