It’s that time of year again when we will be recognizing 14 students in schools throughout the NLESD for their role in supporting and sustaining a safe and inclusive school environment.  Each student will be awarded a $500 tuition voucher, which will be used to further their education after graduation from high school. 

 

The application forms for the 2021 Safe and Caring Schools Graduating Student Awards are posted on the Department of Education website in both English and French.

The graduating student awards aim to promote student awareness of the Safe and Caring Schools Policy and acknowledge the contributions of youth in establishing and maintaining safe and schools and communities. Specifically, the goal is to:

·       Recognize the leadership of youth across the province in completing projects and activities aimed at enhancing the safety and well-being of others in their schools and communities.

·       Help students recognize that they can make a difference in the lives of others.

·       Encourage and mobilize students to become involved in future initiatives.

Parent/Guardian School Development Survey

 

Dear Parent/Guardian,

School Development Surveys are conducted annually to gather feedback from students, staff, and parents/guardians to inform the school development process. The survey results will be provided to your child’s school and used with other data to identify the school’s strengths and challenges. Your child’s school will then create and implement a plan to build on successes and address areas of challenge.

The survey is anonymous, which means that we cannot connect your survey responses to you. We encourage everyone to participate so that we have the most accurate representation of family perceptions at your school.

This survey is for PARENTS/GUARDIANS only.

Please complete the survey by April 22, 2021 by clicking on the following link: https://www.research.net/r/SDFamily2021EN

Thank you for your participation and for being a valued member of your school community.

Week 4 Note.

Dear Students,

On behalf of the teachers and administration at Baccalieu Collegiate, I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you all know how proud we are of you and to thank-you for all of your hard work and perseverance. 

As we approach WEEK 4 of at-home online learning it is important that we all take time to reflect on these past weeks learning journey. The sudden "crisis" of outbreak and move back into the "comforts of our homes" to teach and learn was an incredible feat. The journey and adjustments made over these weeks has worked and developed parts of our mind, body, and soul that we otherwise would not have counted for. You may feel tired, but know that you are gaining strength. As you reflect, do not forget to mention to yourself that you are doing an amazing job. 

With that, for many of us, we have our toughest week ahead. This Friday, March 12th 2021 will mark our Term 2 end. Undoubtably, you will have feelings of stress and overwhelmingness as we do with any closing Term end.  Remember that the teachers at Baccalieu Collegiate are here for you. Keep working. Keep your head-up. Holidays are just ahead. And, do not forget to mention to yourself that you are doing an amazing job. 

Regards,

Jeffrey Saxby
