St. Patrick Intermediate December 19-23



Grade 7 Career Fair
Our grade 7's took part in a Career Fair on Thursday.  Students had the opportunity to talk to employers in both the public and private sectors and took part in experiential activities.  We are always so pleased at SPI to work with our community partners on such worthwhile events for our young people.


Cardboard Boat Racing
Our Math and Science Club students are working hard preparing for the upcoming Cardboat Boat Race Challenge in January.  Essentially, students build cardboard boats and race them in a swimming pool. Pictured right is a group of our students discussing a particular design.

Populace Project
On Monday, pre-selected classes will be working on sculptures that will be installed to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Canada. Here is a description of this exciting project: "Through beauty of the ceramic arts, the three main cultures present at the time of Confederation will be recognized with a spectacular installation of thousands of individually crafted ceramic sculptures."



Merry Christmas
I would like to take this opportunity to extend a very Merry Christmas and a special holiday season to all of our St. Patrick’s families.  As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we also recognize the additional celebrations of the many faiths that make up our school community.  At this special time of year, we acknowledge the hard work of our students and staff in bringing a comfortable Christmas to many who might otherwise go without.  Our support of the Christmas Hamper program is a practical reminder of the meaning of Advent and Christmas themes. I hope that each one of you is able to find time to relax and recharge during the holidays.

St. Patrick Intermediate December 5-9

Advent Liturgy
Our Advent Liturgy will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 14.  We are looking forward to what promises to be a prayerful and reflective occasion while awaiting the birth of Jesus.

School Council Meeting
At our School Council Meeting on Tuesday we had the opportunity to look at plans for the addition to St. Pat's High School, opening Sept. 2018 when our current building closes. Feedback was positive and the facility looks very nice. We look forward to moving into our new home and will make that transition as smooth as possible.

Our next School Council meeting is Wed. Jan. 25th at 7 p.m. in Learning Commons 1.
