Brother Club - Moderators: Mr. P.
Cummings, Mrs. M. Dovigo
Our in-person, Grade 9
class, hosts Big Brother meetings for both our Online
Academy and in-person grade 3 to 6 students.
Being separated is not
easy and we want to do everything we can to create opportunities for community
and support.
Grade
3&4 Big Brother meeting is Wednesday at 4:00 p.m., and Grade 5&6 on
Thursday at 4 p.m.
The Online Academy
students feel included and they have an opportunity to connect with the grade
9s and also with their peers.
Along with spiritual
teachings, led by the grade 9s, guided by Mr. Cummings, there is laughter,
conversation and mental health is touched upon as well.
The students also have
a chance to send their “Questions for Fr. Josh’, questions that they have
always wanted to ask but never had the chance.ways it has enriched those boys who have been able to participate.
Yearbook “St. Michael’s Choir School Schola” - Moderators: Mr. Hume
The yearbook crew manages the yearly yearbook which
captures all the great moments throughout the year. It is usually given out at
the beginning of the next term to all students from Grade 4 to 12. This book is
a great reference for everyone including families and staff!
Digital
Music Club – Grade 5 and 6 students: Moderator: Mr. McKie
Mr. James McKie, our Grade 5&6 Extended
French teacher and Alumnus, who also happens to be a Juno award winner
musician himself, has spearheaded an extracurricular digital music course that
has been taking off here at SMCS. Mr. McKie has enlisted some of his Alum
friends who are well known in the digital music making world to come on board
and share their knowledge. Mr. McKie has put together this video highlighting
the digital Music course and the ways it has enriched those boys who have been able to participate.
Online
Library Programming: Coding Workshops: Gr. 3-8:
Moderator: Mr. Anupol
Based
on the success and enthusiasm for coding workshops in the last couple of
months, the library will also be continuing coding workshops throughout the
rest of the school year. Students will work on a series of puzzles and coding
challenges through code.org and lynxcoding.club. Both programs offer block-based and
text-based coding lessons for all age and experience levels. These workshops
will focus on problem-solving, teamwork, and logical and creative reasoning.
This sessions are available for all classes in grades 3-8.
Please
let me know if you are interested in booking your class on a Friday for any of
these sessions! I would be happy to visit your class and engage with your
students!
