The scent of fresh paint is in the halls of 21 St. Clements this summer. Amongst the restorations, repairs, and renovations is work being done for the new Jennifer Khayat LINCWell Centre space on the east end of the school! 🔨

What is the LINCWell approach? 🙋‍♀️

LINCWell is a full school, Grades 1-12 approach designed to craft a school experience for each of our students. One of the goals is to provide students with key resources or tools and the ability to know when to use each tool according to their individual needs and preferences.

06/26/2024

In celebration of June’s Pride Month, the Gender Sexuality Alliance (GSA) hosted the Pride Assembly for our full school community. The assembly focused on the theme of

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day to celebrate, recognize, and honour the heritage, cultures, and valuable contributions made by First Nations, Inuit, and Métis across Canada. For generations, many Indigenous communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on or around June 21, due to the significance of the summer solstice. Indigenous Peoples Day serves as a reminder to Canadians to take time to recognize and celebrate the unique cultures of First Nations people, Inuit, and Métis. As a school, we are committed to seeking truth and acknowledging the impacts of colonialism today and every day.

Here are a few more pre-ceremony pics from Closing on Tuesday evening! 🤩

We have some results from the Ontario Music Festival Association (aka Provincials!) that are music to our ears. 🎵🎶

The Primary and Junior Choirs were invited to compete with choirs from across Ontario based on their strong performances during our local festival, Kiwanis. The students worked so well together, applying feedback from their Kiwanis adjudicator to their learning and recording a performance in April that demonstrated this growth.

For their outstanding work, we are excited to announce that the Junior Choir placed first in the province for school choirs Grade 6 and Under, and the Primary Choir placed second in the province for school choirs Grade 3 and Under.

Congratulations Junior School Music! 👏

Last week, we celebrated the Grade 6 class as they graduated from the Junior School! Congrats to all our Grade 6s - welcome to Middle School!

Grade 8 students taking the Art and Design course have been hard at work on their Design Thinking projects. Design thinking doesn’t follow linear steps from A to B; it’s an iterative process that teams use to understand users, challenge assumptions, look at problems in a different way, and create innovative solutions to prototype and test. The teams of Grade 8s were posed this challenge: design innovative solutions to issues (or opportunities) in the fashion industry. All of the teams have come up with solutions and are now in the “testing” phase of the Design Thinking process. Here’s where the SCS community comes in! The designers are looking for feedback on their solutions in order to further refine their prototypes. Each group has created a video of their proposed solution – check them out on Flipgrid and leave comments for the designers! Current students, staff, and families can access the Flipgrid link and password on School Talk on Edsby. (Community members without Edsby access can email [email protected] for the link.)

The Grade 3s, in collaboration with singer-songwriter, Mimi O’bonsawin, wrote an original composition called ‘Wildlife’ that reflects on land stewardship. Each Grade 3 class recorded this song separately, and then they were layered together to create what you hear in this recording. Students are so grateful for their partnership with Mimi! *** Wildlife Wildlife is art. Winter, spring, summer, or fall. Animals make me happy In the moment -- I am here. I love being in nature, Breathing in the fresh air. I love the way the snow falls light and sparkly. oo oo x4 I love the plants and the rainforest, Cats, foxes, flowers, and the sun. I love the moon, the stars, and Saturn, The seven seas, I love 'em all. oo oo x4

We were so happy to welcome alumna Barbara (Beatty) Hickman '44 back to SCS this morning - a surprise on her 96th birthday! The first stop on her tour of the current school building was the Grade 3 classroom, where students were waiting to sing Happy Birthday. (As it turns out, Grade 3 was when Barbara started at SCS!)
