The Council of School Councils meeting was held on Thursday, March 19th at Dansereau Meadows School with a presentation from International Speaker, Simon Breakspear. His big take-away message for parents:
"As educators, we are preparing your children for their future, not ours!" He talked about the direction of education around the world, gave some excellent food for thought and asked us all to reflect. He was a very innovative, energetic and refreshing speaker.
The Grade 4s had an excellent speaker from the Saffron organization on Friday, March 20 - sponsored by Devon FCSS - on bullying. We hosted the grade 4 students from Holy Spirit. The picture below gives a clear definition on what bullying is. This sparked some great discussion and the grade 4s will be doing a follow up project on bullying over the next couple of weeks.
Congratulations to the following students who were our Student of the Week winners at this assembly. What a fun beachy day for these students. Stay Tuned next week for Pizza with the Principal draw!
