 Remembering Our Heritage

Almost 500 children from the LDCSB participated in this year's Heritage Fair initiative and 40 of our students progressed to the Regional Heritage Fair held at Pioneer Village on May 12. Students enjoyed a day of fun activities at the Village while their projects were being judged.

At the Regional Fair 15 of our students won awards. (click HERE for the details) St. Robert has a great deal to be proud of as 3 out of 5 of our students won major awards and the other 2 were finalists in their categories.

All of the winning students attended an Awards Ceremony on June 3rd at Museum London where they were recognized for their outstanding accomplishments.

Congratulations to all of the students and to their teachers for creating such an authentic, differentiated and exciting learning experience!

On February 1 the new Keeping Our Kids Safe at School Act (Bill 157) came into force. This legislation supports the London District Catholic School Board's belief that all members of our school community - staff, students, parents, and community agencies - have a role to play in making our schools a safe place in which to learn.

Find out what's being done to keep our kids safe and what parents should know.  Click on the Bulletin Board on the LDCSB front page.

BECOMING A CATHOLIC SCHOOL TRUSTEE
A Call to Service and Stewardship in Christ

On October 25th, 2010, Catholic school board elections will be held across Ontario. 
In an effort to inform those members of the Catholic community considering the vocation of Catholic school trusteeship, the Ontario Catholic School Trustees Association has provided the booklet "Becoming a Catholic School Trustee" as well as a pamphlet entitled "A Call to Service." Please open the links for more information.
