The Asian Student Affinity Group (ASAG) ran a Mid-Autumn Festival activity for the Junior School during their community time this week! Led by senior students, the meaning and importance of the festival across numerous countries was explained before students in Grades 1-6 were taught how to make decorative paper lanterns. Next week, the Junior School will share their creative work with the whole school community during a lantern parade when we gather at assembly.

Following the Unlocking Your Creativity literary event held here at SCS, Principal Perry reflects on the collective creativity that can be unleashed by such a collaborative gathering.

Our annual Thanksgiving Service at St. Clement’s Church is a meaningful time for our community to come together to give thanks for each other and the world around us. ❤️

As part of her reflection, Reverend Pamela Rayment spoke about the importance of getting outside and embracing the natural world around us. She asked our students what they love most about being outside and reminisced about the importance a pine grove held for her, her siblings, and her cousins when she was growing up.

Reverend Rayment invited us to take a walk, notice the beauty of nature, appreciate the people in our lives who bring us joy, and share our thanks with one another.

It’s fall harvest time in our Side Yard – our garden has yielded some beautiful fresh vegetables and flowers this year! Thanks to the green thumbs of the SCS Community Garden Club, the garden successfully grew kale, peas, a pumpkin, and – in recent root vegetable news – carrots!

Clementines experienced food sustainability in action and have overseen the project from start to finish: building the garden boxes, planting the seeds, tending to them, and now reaping the results. It’s been pure gardening joy!

Once picked and harvested, the produce from our garden has been incorporated into various meals served in our Joannah Lawson ’82 Cafeteria for all Clementines to enjoy.

Clementines from several Phys. Ed. classes (in Grades 7, 11, and 12) came together to hone their Cricket skills! Presenters from the OSCA (Ontario Schools Cricket Association) taught students how to bowl, bat, and defend an oval playing field. Many runs were scored, and it was a fun learning experience for all.

This past weekend, we were thrilled to host Unlocking Your Creativity – our first-ever collaborative literary event! Attendees came to SCS on Saturday with a shared love of reading and writing and an eagerness to learn from a variety of guest experts in different literary fields and genres.

The day featured a dynamic range of workshops presented by both alums and friends of SCS, whose expertise and enthusiasm made for a truly inspiring day. Thank you to Karen Grose ’85, Jane Mason ’84, Ruth Ohi, Ashleigh Rains ’00, Amy Stuart, and Patricia Westerhof for being part of this literary celebration.

We were also excited to welcome two award-winning authors, Sheila Heti ’95 and Anne Michaels, who joined Principal Martha Perry ’85 on the Powell Hall stage for thoughtful and enriching conversations.

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for this storybook day at SCS!

Today was Windsor House Day! It is safe to say there was a lot of purple and out of this "ClemWorld" attire! 😉💜

Last Friday, to continue the education surrounding the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, guest speaker Karen Chaboyer attended our full school assembly and shared personal stories from the nine years she spent attending a residential school as a child.

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. She is also a second-generation residential school Survivor.

Her goal is to educate people about the impact that residential schools have had on individuals, families, communities, and entire cultures to this day. She recounted her experiences, having been separated from her siblings and mistreated during her time at St. Margaret`s Indian Residential School. After years of being silenced as a child, Karen’s openness in discussing what happened to her and her family helped all students and staff gain a better understanding of the realities of residential schools.

Our community deeply appreciated Karen’s visit to SCS.
