The weather definitely cooperated for
the 10th annual St. Joseph's Invitational Track and Field Meet
- and the smiles were as bright as the medals. The
event is an amazing opportunity for students with disabilities
from all the high schools in our system as well as some area public
schools to show off their talents, meet new friends and overall have
a great day of participation.
The athletes took part in events such
as the 100-metre dash, high jump, long jump, shot put, assisted
wheelchair, and more.
Congratulations to Principal Peter
Cassidy and all of the organizers who do such a
wonderful job each year on this event.

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
