Happy to see everyone coming to and supporting each other through the @OCSB_BEN today at #ocsbCCDay. Happy to see the community growing.
💓So many friendly faces at #ocsbCCDay was lovely to also connect and do outreach for the OCSB @OCSB_BEN
Today, ENG2D @StPiusXOCSB learned about Allyship and Solidarity through Music on Truth and Reconciliation Day. They remembered past injustices like Residential Schools and Oka Crisis to emphasize supporting Indigenous Peoples’. Music and art are powerful ways to show solidarity.
What a great day in the @StPiusXOCSB Learning Commons for our ENG2D Literature Circle Book Tasting workshop with @ItsMissBennett. Students got to experience 6 different Our Voices novels and get a sense of the lived experiences in the stories before starting our new unit.
To finish off the first week of school we utilized random groupings to work together to solve word puzzles to improve our vocabulary and practice our reading and writing. We are #ocsbReady for Grade 10 English at @StPiusXOCSB

#Juneteenth reminds us of the enduring importance of freedom, dignity, and justice. ✊🏿🖤✨Today, we honour the resilience and achievements of Black communities while reflecting on the ongoing work of building a more equitable society for all.

Grade 10 History students from @StPiusXOCSB went to visit some of our neighbours on Falaise Road to deliver postcards on the history of the town of Falaise in WWII and the Veterans Land Act and how they resulted in the creation of the Carleton Heights neighbourhood.

It’s always great to meet with our classmates at BSA and have time to enjoy each others company. Like yesterday when we were able to Be Community and play musical chairs and telephone.
Thank you to everyone who made last week’s Fashion Show a success at @StPiusXOCSB for Catholic Education Week. It was an incredible effort from over 100 student volunteers and participants. Cant wait for next year. @ItsMissBennett @stpiusxbsa
Grade 10s had a great day at the @CanWarMuseum with their History classes reflecting on our learning over the semester so far. Great to see our @StPiusXOCSB students discussing the importance of understanding history at the museum and National Holocaust Monument
Check out this opportunity with the Simcoe County District School Board for EduTravel Experiential Learning. Get a 4U credit this summer learning about Deconstructing Anti-Black Racism and get to travel while you do it.

As part of our efforts to showcase Black Excellence this Black Hostory Month we displayed some art from Black artists at @StPiusXOCSB today. Hope everyone enjoyed!
Such a great opportunity for @StPiusXOCSB students today to learn more about Black History through a Canadian lens and more underrepresented history at the @CanMusHistory
Today students from @StPiusXOCSB learned about Black History at the @CanMusHistory and the history of Black contributions to Hockey. Making great connections between the past and present.

Our students were able to spend part of their snowy Thursday putting up this Periodic Table of Black Canadians providing representation to those who find they are not always fully seen in the curriculum. Can’t wait to have Grade 10 History @StPiusXOCSB explore this next semester
