Christ The Teacher Catholic Schools

The 2010-11 Annual Meeting of Electors was hosted at Saint Henry's Junior School in Melville on January 23, 2012.  We invite you to view the Annual Meeting reports provided below.

Sacred Heart Teachers are in the beginning stages of planning an EF Educational tour of China with stops at four cities across China.  An Informational meeting was held in December at SHHS outlining the trip and all the planned activities for students and parents.  Response was overwhelming with over 45 students applying to take part in the adventure.  Students will begin preparing and fundraising for this tour which will take place during the Easter break in 2013.  The Tour Coordinator, Perry Enns, says "the students are very excited to experience all of the Historical sites, the Chinese culture and of course to try all sorts of new food while on this once-in-a-lifetime tour".

The ten day tour will begin in Beijing where students will visit Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Beijing Zoo, and walk on the Great Wall of China.  The Tour will then visit Xi'an where students will follow in the footsteps of Marco Polo and visit the life-size Terra Cotta Warriors which were sculpted in 206 B.C.  The Yangshou tour will include a bamboo raft excursion along the Li River and the amazing sites of Shanghai will complete the tour.

L'Ecole St. Michael’s School is the only school in Yorkton that offers a French Immersion programme.  In order to enhance the students’ cultural and language experience, they had the opportunity to view Lilli et Virus àl’aventure.  Lise Maurais is a ventrioquiste who tours through Canada and internationally with her puppets sharing the French language and culture with her audiences.  It was a wonderful learning experience in French and fun was had by all.    

On Tuesday October 4^th , Mr. Vic Hammer came to talk to the students of L’Ecole St. Michael’s School about the Shoeman Water Project.  The Shoeman Project collects used and new shoes that were shipped to Kenya and sold at an affordable cost to people in need.  Money made from the sale of the shoes is used to drill water wells to provide clean drinking water for Kenyan communities in need.  Throughout the rest of the week, students of L’Ecole St. Michael’s School proceeded to bring in bags of shoes for donation to donate to the Shoeman Water project.  This project is one of the projects to teach the students about Gratitude, which is the school division’s focus this year as part of Stewardship.
