Starting the week off right by sharing some fun moments from our Grade 8 trip to YMCA Camp Pinecrest! Our students embraced all this grade trip had to offer: playing broom ball on a frozen lake, building fires, and racing down the winter tube track. They also pushed themselves on the high ropes course and by exploring snowy trails on cross‑country skis. 🎿
Such an awesome display of teamwork and enthusiasm!
We embarked on a whirlwind West Coast tour this week, and were very excited to catch up with so many SCS alums! A big thank you to those alums in Vancouver who were able to join us on Tuesday evening. 😀
In this week’s Postcard, Principal Perry reflects on how cold temperatures couldn’t chill the warm connections formed through SCS’s recent experiential learning adventures. ❄️
Earlier this week we were delighted to welcome Emma Koster ’18, GiGi Wang ’20, and Cami Dionisio ’25 back to St. Clement’s School for the Upper School Assessment and Experience Afternoon. The three joined a panel of alums and SCS parents to share their experiences of life at SCS and after SCS with prospective families.
There have been many moments of meaningful learning and joy in Grade 1 over the last several weeks. We could never name them all, so here are just a few! 👏
- In Math, students have been exploring using various tools to support problem solving. They have been focusing on addition and subtraction fact recall to 10, and building their fact fluency.
- In Writing, the Grade 1s have reached a mid-point in their Narrative Writing Unit, and that called for a celebration! Students compared their first piece of narrative writing to the piece they are most proud of so far and couldn’t believe how much they have grown by using spelling strategies for tricky words, telling seed stories instead of watermelon stories (i.e. small moments versus broad topics), and writing their stories bit by bit.
- In Social Studies, students shared their Identity Treasure Boxes with enthusiasm and detail, making connections to the Identify Star visual tool. The wider SCS community can learn more about the identity of each student by checking out the bulletin board outside the Grade 1 classroom!
- Across Grades 1–3, students continued building their communication skills by practising how to follow and give clear verbal instructions during drawing activities.
- With their Grades 4 and 6 Learning Buddies, students reflected on Snow Day experiences through a collaborative discussion and a drawing and writing piece.
St. Clement’s School welcomed prospective students and their families to our Upper School Assessment and Experience Afternoon on January 27. The students completed their assessments and had the opportunity to interact with current students and staff while enjoying snacks in our cafeteria and a few fun activities.
Their parents learned more about the School, met with members of staff, and gathered in Powell Hall for a presentation and Q&A by Principal Martha Perry and Heather Henricks, Vice Principal of Learning, Research, and Innovation, as well as Director of Admissions Elena Holeton and a panel of alum and current parents.
Our winter adventures continued with an amazing two‑day excursion at Cedar Glen Outdoor Centre with our Grade 4’s! From high ropes and mazes to campfires, tobogganing, and lots of teamwork, the Grade 4 class showed so much courage and curiosity throughout.
Here are just a few highlights from this unforgettable grade trip! 📸
Say hello to our most recent Athlete of the Week: Emily L. ’32! Emily is a huge part of the U13 Volleyball Team. She always shows up, gives it her all, and works hard to keep the ball alive with some incredible efforts during rallies.
Way to go, Emily! Keep up the great work. 🏐
Earlier today, SCS students and staff gathered for a powerful and moving International Holocaust Remembrance Day Assembly organized by the Jewish Student Affinity Group (JSAG). Set against a darkened gym, students and teachers from Grades 6, 8, and 10 spoke about the ways they learn and teach about the Holocaust, and reflected on the importance of remembrance today.
Student speakers shared meaningful insights, including the idea that liberation does not always equal freedom, and that freedom from trauma is a long and complex journey, while teachers also discussed how ordinary people and everyday structures enabled the Holocaust, and why modern day tours exist specifically for educators, politicians, and first responders to understand this history more deeply.
Throughout the presentation, our community was reminded that Holocaust education is not only about learning the past, but also about carrying its lessons forward with compassion and critical thought. It is our shared responsibility to ensure these stories, and the people behind them, are never forgotten.
In honour of today’s snow day, here’s a little throwback to some recent winter fun involving the St. Clement`s community.
Hope you’ve had a great snow day, SCS! See you tomorrow. 🌨️
