Did you know that it takes up to 1000 years for plastic bags to decompose? The Go Green team would like to to reduce the amount of plastics going into the environment by collecting milk bags. We are promoting this initiative by asking students to drop off clean and dry 4 litre outer milk bags in the bin set up in Student Services. The bags will then be delivered to St. Isidore Parish, where volunteers will weave them into mats to be sent to developing countries.
Expectations at 7&8 Lunch
During the lunch hour, we encourage our grade 7 & 8 students to bring a lunch from home or to purchase a lunch from the cafeteria. Students are not permitted to access online food ordering and delivery platforms (e.g. Skip the Dishes, Uber Eats, etc.) during the school day. The Main Office does not receive deliveries for food and to ensure safety, our grade 7 & 8 students are not permitted to leave the school to receive a food order. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Immunization of Students
The Immunization of School Pupils Act states that students attending schools in Ontario are required to be vaccinated against nine diseases, or else have a valid exemption. Parents are required to report all immunizations done at the doctor's office to Ottawa Public Health. Every year, OPH conducts an immunization surveillance campaign and students whose records remain incomplete may be suspended from school.
If your child requires immunization, you should receive a first notice from Ottawa Public Health, and you are encouraged to:

Cooperative Education Corner
All Saints has a large number of students who enrol in cooperative education courses to pursue some practical work opportunities. In the coming weeks we will feature some of our students and the experiences they are having. This week: Featured Co-op Student: Mackenzie Kadar
Mackenzie is a Grade 12 student working at an Industrial Design company named Studio 63 in Bell’s Corners. She is part of the Arts and Culture Specialist High Skills Major Program.
Mackenzie said that “the experience I have had at my placement has been very positive. I have been learning how to create products through the use of SolidWorks, develop renderings of projects using KeyShot, set up print files with Simplify3d, and then get the 3D printer ready by leveling the bed, setting up the filament, and heating it.
Mackenzie is able to demonstrate how the Catholic values she is learning at school are serving her well in the workplace. She is demonstrating Stewardship for Creation - “Industrial designers aim to expand and improve products, or invent products to solve day to day issues. Issues involving the earth, such as how to use less wasted materials on products.”
