St. Peter & St. Paul's School Durham

The grade 4/5’s & Miss Dales have been busy learning about rocks and minerals and even made their own fossils! #sciencerocks #BGCShines

Crazy Sock Day and some fall fun!

We love having the opportunity to still be able to run our Thursday singing club in our outdoor learning class. We are so blessed to have such an amazing space to still be able to do the things we love!

Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day! Wear an orange shirt to recognize that every child matters and spread awareness about the impact of residential schools in Canada.

Yearbooks are in! If you missed out on the pre-order, we have a some extras available for $20 through the school’s Cash Online.

We purchased two crossnet games to help keep the kids active and busy at recess this fall. Crossnet is a combination of foursquare and volleyball. So much fun! CROSSNET

A huge thank you goes out to the Hamilton family for their delivery of stumps for our second outdoor learning class! We are doing the best to be outdoors as much as we can these days and this certainly helps. I guess I better bring my workout gear tomorrow for some heavy lifting!

Welcome To Virtual School! Greg McLean, Principal of Sacred Heart Teeswater and our new Virtual School has shared a letter to families. Read it here: https://bgcdsb.org/news/what_s_new/welcome_to_virtual_school

We did it! After being away from the school for 179 days, we are officially up and running! Some of the routines will look and feel a little different but I feel these new procedures and protocols will help keep us safe and healthy. Thank you for all you have done to help make this transition as easy as possible. This isn't to say we will have the odd problem to be solved as we move forward, but thats ok. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time should you have q...uestions or concerns. I would like to thank as well, the staff here, every single one of them, for being one of the most kind, caring and professional group of people I have had the pleasure to work with. Their commitment will ensure your children learn in a safe and healthy manner. Attached is a little picture of our new reality! (I'm learning to smile with my eyes) God bless!

BGCDSB is excited to welcome our students back tomorrow! Make sure you visit our website to learn about what we're doing to keep our students and staff safe. https://bgcdsb.org/n/what_s_new/letter_to_families_-_sept_4

I created this video for our families to see what coming to school will look like and where children will be playing at recess in their cohorts https://youtu.be/WQycZQTdP3Q

Thank you to the Eichman family for delivering these beautiful stumps today! With COVID, we are looking to make the most of learning outdoors while we can. If you happen to have any stumps you could lend us we can always use more! #weareallinthistogether
