Board visits Chongqing #37 Secondary School in China

Posted on by admin

On November 11th 2016, the Sudbury Catholic District School Board had the pleasure of visiting Chongqing #37 Secondary School in China. We visited a class, the grounds, the bridge of success and had the privilege of witnessing the morning daily physical activity.

This school offers a high quality education to over 4,000 students from grades 7 to 12. Hopefully, some of the staff from the school will come to Sudbury to visit our schools and to discuss the possibility of a “sister” school partnership in the future. The school celebrated it’s 60th anniversary in 2015 and we are convinced that it will continue to grow in the next 60 years thanks to its dedicated and competent staff, as well as its visionary leadership.

Marymount Regals win 6th consecutive Division 1 City Championship

Posted on by admin

Head Coach Dan Bartolucci couldn’t be more pleased with the mental and emotional strength of all the players during an overtime period that lasted nearly 40 minutes. After trading offensive possessions a number times and nearly scoring on a couple of occasions, running back, and Grade 12 veteran Allison Byrnes ran in for the touchdown and sealed the 22nd consecutive win and sixth consecutive city championship for Marymount.

“What these girls have achieved is pretty much unbelievable. That’s back to back undefeated seasons for Marymount flag football. In eight games this season we had only 8 points scored against us and six games where our defense did not allow a single point. Jason Weiler has done an amazing job teaching these girls how to play defense, and in return, the girls have rewarded us by leaving everything out on the field. As stressful as it was on the sidelines, I’m glad this was a defensive battle. Our team rallies around the defensive and to see what they were able to do against a very strong Confederation team was incredibly fun to watch.”

Marymount’s victory came under a layer of dense fog. The bench could not see the stands and then fans could not see the bench. For many in attendance, it was the roar of the players on the field that confirmed Byrnes got into the end zone. Go Regals Go!!!

Marymount Family Tree

Posted on by admin

In 2015, Miss Simpson’s Church and Culture class established the Marymount family tree. “Rooted in Faith” was designed with all Regals in mind. Intertwined with the roots of the tree are the signatures of the Sisters of St. Joseph, the nuns who founded Marymount Academy 60 years ago in 1956. The hands of the MMA staff, our school board, and the trustees represent the grass supporting the tree. The handprints of Marymount students are the leaves of the tree, and they surround a beautiful owl painted by our visual arts teacher, Mrs. Fairgrieve. While the owl represents wisdom and education, to many of us it also represents Kodee Daoust who was a student in the religion class until the end of October when she passed away in a car accident.

The family tree is a living legacy for all Regals. Every year, just like all of us, the mural will change and grow as new students and staff add their handprints to the tree. “Rooted in Faith” reminds us that we will always be part of the Marymount family.

Connecting to the land

Posted on by admin

Recently our secondary schools students had an opportunity to attend a sweat lodge building and ceremony as part of the “Bundle Roots Program”. The event was hosted by Indigenous Education Secondary Support staff & teachers. At this event we had students from various cultures take part. The turnout was great and the weather was wonderful. There were three secondary schools that took part in this activity. The Sweat lodge was held on Atikameksheng Anishnawbek territory.

The sweat lodge is a structure, which is dome shaped made using natural materials given to us by the land. sweat lodges are used by Indigenous people on Turtle Island for ceremonial prayers. The ceremony and traditions associated with the sweat lodge vary from region to region but are similar in nature.

Students were able to partake in constructing the sweat lodge which was a rich learning experience for all staff and students. All the young men and women took part in constructing the sweat lodge. The Elders were both helpful and insightful for the youth and the staff, and shared their knowledge.

We completed our very full day with a very delicious feast, along with a spirit plate given back to our sacred helpers during this ceremony.
