We're excited to announce that two of our grade 9 students, Dennise Alverio and Isaac Nichols, each had pieces of writing selected for Christ's the Redeemer's Anthology: Tablets and Doorposts. This past Friday, Dennise and Isaac travelled with Mrs. Liboiron (CTK) and Mrs. Grove to DeWinton, Alberta for the celebration of writing at the Tablets and Doorposts Cafe. Dennise held the audience captivated with her writing about a heart wrenching orphanage relationship, while Isaac had the audience in stitches with his story from the perspective of a dog named Max. Each year, teachers are asked to submit excellent samples of writing to be read by a panel of adjudicators. At the Cafe, students were each asked to read their work to the audience and then recieved a copy of the Anthology along with a $50 gift card to Chapters. Isaac and Dennise: we're so proud of you both! #GoCrusaders

Way to go SJC!!

Ms.O’Neill’s Biology 20 class wrapped up their body systems unit with a fetal pig dissection. Hands on learning is the best learning! 🐷 #SJCLearningInAction #Biology20 #FetalPigDissection

SJC’s Science Laboratory Technicians created a display to showcase Year 1 of CTR’s new Three-Year Faith Theme: “Faith Seeking Understanding” where we will learn how to encounter faith in science, reason, and society. Many may not know that faith and science are closely interconnected. This display highlights the similarities between the two subjects and how science supports and enhances our faith. SJC’s Science Department hopes to unify both staff and students as they encounter Catholic faith in science, reason, and society so that they may become witnesses to the Catholic faith in the subject areas they teach. #TheScienceofFaith #FaithSeekingUnderstanding
