And just like that, we are back to celebrating SCS`s Athlete of the Week!
We’re highlighting a Senior Cross Country Team member who finished 7th overall, helping the senior girls` team take home a 2nd-place finish. A big shoutout to Soline D. `27! 🏃♀️
Last Wednesday, the cross country team ran their first meet on a course commonly known as the "Gravity Grinder", which ends on a dizzying uphill ski slope. The team ran a hard race, seeing it through to the very end.
Congrats to everyone who ran last week, and to the Athlete of the Week, Soline! 👏
Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Junior School students led an assembly to share what they have learned about this important day and how we can honour those impacted by residential schools.
In the Junior School, students and staff have been learning about the histories and lived experiences of Indigenous children and families through books by author Phyllis Webstad.
Across the school, students are engaging in conversations about Orange Shirt Day and exploring Indigenous works. The Grade 8 students, for example, have been reading and analyzing the powerful poem by Rita Joe, I Lost My Talk.
As the Junior School Clementines shared in assembly:
“Whether you`re in Grade 1 or Grade 12, each of us has a role to play in making sure everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
So today, let’s listen with open hearts, ask thoughtful questions, and remember that learning about the truth helps us create a better future for everyone.”
Tomorrow, September 30, marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to reflect on the tragic legacy of residential schools and to honour the children who never returned home and the Survivors of these institutions.
This day also coincides with Orange Shirt Day, which began in 2013 to raise awareness about the intergenerational impacts of residential schools on individuals, families, and communities.
We have a variety of commemorative events planned for the community this week.
Tuesday, September 30
- Students and staff are invited to wear an orange shirt as we gather for an Orange Shirt Day Assembly led by the Junior School.
- A flag will be flown at half-mast in commemoration of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Wednesday, October 1
- All students will participate in guided lessons on our Land Acknowledgment.
Friday, October 3
-Students and staff are invited to wear an orange shirt as the full school community gathers for an Assembly featuring guest speaker Karen Margaret Chaboyer. Karen is an Ojibwe mother and grandmother from Rainy River First Nation in northwestern Ontario, and a Survivor of St. Margaret`s Indian Residential School.
It will be an impactful week of learning as a school community, as we remain committed to learning and honouring the history, culture, and traditions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples in Canada.

Join us in welcoming Tala A. ’26 as the 2025–2026 House Captain!
In her speech, Tala shared lighthearted personal memories and reflected on how meaningful this role is to her.
She recounted some of her favourite spirit moments, including Ms Perry dressed as Madonna on Halloween, arriving in a carriage; Ms Fonseca dominating in ping-pong; and her friends supporting her when she was ill during soccer practice.
Tala acknowledged that, as humans, we all care what others think of us, but emphasized that House spirit offers an outlet for herself and those around her.
As she said, “It’s the moments that let us drop our guard down and put a smile on our faces. Moments of belonging and even embarrassment, all in the name of spirit. It’s not about wearing the most colours or having the loudest voice but about feeling like we belong.”
For Rowan’s Law Day, the Grade 5 class led an assembly focused on concussions and education about care following a head injury.
Rowan’s Law Day was named for Rowan Stringer, a high school rugby player from Ottawa, who died in the spring of 2013 from a condition known as second impact syndrome (swelling of the brain caused by a subsequent injury that occurred before a previous injury healed).
Students shared: “Concussions are brain injuries. They can’t be treated like a bruise or a cut, and they’re not easy to see. Any significant hit to the head, face, or neck may cause a concussion. That’s why it’s so important, the moment you get hit, to tell a parent, teacher, or coach immediately.”
Remember, “If you get hit… stop and sit. Don’t push yourself. Some signs of a possible concussion after you’ve hurt your head include dizziness, a headache, or feeling sick to your stomach. You might feel confused, see blurry vision, and even forget what happened.”
Thank you to the Grade 5s for raising awareness about concussions and concussion safety on Rowan’s Law Day.
