On Wednesday, October 21, our Loretto Abbey English as a Second Language (ESL) class attended the annual Newcomers Conference at the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB).
Students had the opportunity to meet and mingle with students from other ESL classes across the Board and hear from speakers, including Loretto Abbey’s own Aritra M., who showcased her poetry. Students also participated in a Soca dance class and student leadership training.
It was a great opportunity for our newcomer students to feel welcomed by the school community.
Thank you to Ms. Spagnuolo for organizing the excursion and for all her hard work with our ESL programming.
