What a day for ÉGSS! Mr. Lendvay organized three school wide activities over the last few weeks. Today was all about learning about problem solving and collaborating as a group and having some fun playing games. Mr. Lendvay started the whole school assembly teaching them about ways to interact with each other independently. Each group had students from different grades and they had to figure out how to undo their human knot. He then had them watch a Ted Talk about contributing to our world with service, gratitude and kindness. Next, the students had to figure out which stations they would do and go to first. They then headed outside to participate in all the stations. The teachers were running the stations while the students had to figure out how to get their group to each station and how to play cooperative games. What a fantastic day of fun and growing our cooperation and independence! Thank you to Mr. Lendvay and all the teachers and support staff for organizing such a great culture building event for our school!

The Grade 6 girls took to the court this week for round robin play in badminton! Way to go girls 🙌🏸

The sun was shining, the smiles were big and the activities were endless for the Grade 5's on their field trip to Cobb's Adventure Park yesterday 🙌🎉

It’s always a highlight of the school year when we see how far the grade six band has come over the course of the last ten months. Tonight we had our year end concert and to them them perform songs as complex as Jurassic Park and Soft Kitty was amazing. They should be very proud of their accomplishments this year.

It's Book Fair time 🎉📚🙌

Congrats to our deserving award winners who were celebrated at last night’s CTR awards ceremony. Angela Tsimaras - Above and Beyond Jenna Beaton - Excellence in Teaching Kelly Galloway - Power of One

Our grade four students entertained us with a reader’s theatre of the Stinky Cheese Man at our Good Shepherd Lives in Me Assembly this afternoon. We are officially down to our last month of school for 2022-23.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!! Did you hear the great news? ÉGSS has their very own newspaper that was created by our amazing grade 5 students. Morgan, Graham, Jaxson, Mya, Aubrey, Daphne, Brooke, and Emily approached the office to pitch their idea to write their own newspaper. Inside, they would include news stories, write their own comics, do some interviews, and so much more. Their first edition is coming out this week. Thank you to Mme McDonah who helped them to bring their idea to life. Their first edition is amazing!!

The grade 1HM class was in for a treat today! Mr. Kommes invited his mom in to teach the students all about plants and gardening for their science class! She even brought a plant for each student! We are so blessed to have visitors/family members visit us to share their expertise!

In a small way to say thank you for all you do for our school, on Friday we hosted our Volunteer Appreciation Celebration. It had been four years since we were last able to host this event and with more volunteers back in the building this year we wanted to make sure you knew how much we appreciate all you do for the school.

As a part of the big awards for the Math-a-thon today we had two special workers here in the office. Ty Tunke was our Principal for the day and Hunter Walker was our Vice-Principal for the day. They were able to evaluate a few teachers… luckily for Mr. Bassett and Miss Beaton they passed with flying colours. They also toured around some of the rooms in the school that students don’t see and most importantly they helped out with our Volunteer Appreciation.

Yesterday our grade six students participated in Student Vote. One of the main topics in the grade six Social Studies curriculum is democracy so this has really helped bring the concept to life for them. It will be interesting to see if their results line up with what we see in our provincial election on Monday.

As a part of “May is the month of Mary”, yesterday afternoon our grade three classes led the school in our annual Living Rosary. They did a great job and it was great to see so many people joining in the prayers.

The sun was out and it was a beautiful day for a school wide 4-square tournament 🙌 The kids were amazing and had such a blast 🎉

This is our last long weekend of the year! We hope everyone has a great three day weekend and we'll see you all on Tuesday!

We are just one week away from our Volunteer Appreciation Tea. If you have helped out in any way this year we would love to have you join us next Friday from 11:00 to 11:45 for some entertainment and fellowship. You truly are such an important cog in what makes École Good Shepherd School an amazing place to learn.
