Announcements

Our Guidance Counsellors visited classes last week to help students with their 2021-2022 course selections and to show them how to enter their courses into the Xello Course Planner computer program.  Signed Course Request sheets are due to your child's teacher by Wednesday, March 10th unless he/she is waiting for a guidance appointment.


For students who were absent, all course selection materials can be found on the "Option Sheets / Guidance Help" portion of the school website or by clicking on the link below.  Students who require further assistance are asked to sign up for a guidance appointment; this can also be done by clicking on the link below.  Our guidance counsellors would also be happy to do a Google Meeting with any online students who require assistance.

Parenting In a Pandemic

SMHS Parent Council is sponsoring 2 virtual presentations for ALL parents who would like to attend.  

Please see the flyer for details and register to reserve your spot

   

We want to hear from you!  

Bruce Grey Catholic School Board will be creating a digital book that will honour everyone’s experiences during the pandemic, using Book Creator. This will be a way of sharing our stories and showing where we have found Hope. If you have pictures/stories/songs/ you would like to share via Instagram please use the Hashtag #BGCHOPE.  

 

Each school within Bruce Grey Catholic District School Board will be given a page to collect memories.  The page may consist of photos, phrases, videos, or audio links.  The page may contain favourite books, recipes you made during the pandemic, art you designed, songs, prayers, games, dances, letters/cards you wrote, sports you played or hike routes you took.  

 

If you do not have Instagram, that's ok.  Feel free to send your submission to [email protected]

 

Deadline for page submissions: April 6th, 2021.

GSCA is currently recruiting applicants for our 2021 summer job positions! We are looking for individuals who are dedicated and passionate about the natural environment to fill several roles within our organization.

If you are able to share this information with any students that might be interested, it would be much appreciated:
