St. Patrick's Intermediate School: St. Patrick's Intermediate March 6

Visit by Rand Sukhaita

On Friday, Development and Peace's Rand Sukhaita spoke to students about her time crossing the border from Syria into Turkey. She also spoke about her management of a Darna Centre in Aleppo which serves the most vulnerable and marginalized groups by offering psycho-social support and vocational training. Students really enjoyed the talk and had many questions at the end of the presentation.

Grade 6 Parent Information Session

On Wednesday we will be holding our Parent Information evening for students currently in grade 6, at 6:00 p.m. in our cafeteria. Families are encouraged to join us for a presentation regarding programming in grade 7, supports available, and school activities being offered. Our School Council will also be present to describe their important role in the school and to answer any questions.

Grade 6 Visits to Our School

This week we welcome our feeder school grade 6 students as they have the opportunity to visit our school in order to witness all the great things going on here at SPI. Tours of the school will be given compliments of our Ambassadors. In addition, students will begin pathway planning via My BluePrint and also complete an art, drama, or music activity. This is one of the many transition steps we take with our grade 6 students throughout the year. As we move forward toward September, we encourage any new parents to the school to contact us regarding any questions or the need for additional information.

March Break

Next week is March Break. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all in our community, whether travelling or staying here to enjoy all that Ottawa offers, a very restful and restorative break.
