“This forced the students to converse and have fun while thinking about French language studies” said Malafarina.

The Franco Fun day was celebrated today by all Sudbury Catholic Schools in either Core French or Immersion classes.

Making sacrifices on Ash Wednesday

Posted on March 5, 2014 by admin

As part of the Ash Wednesday service at St. Charles College, the students’ FIRST robotics team presented a cheque to Deacon Steve. The cheque in the amount of four hundred dollars will be used to support Chalice, a Catholic organization that supports children in Third World countries.

Every year, the school aims to financially support a handful of children in places like Haiti, Bolivia and Africa. Throughout the Lenten season, the students take up a collection in their homerooms. These students created a business plan that involved getting community sponsorship. Werner Scherzinger, who heads up the group says “we wanted to support children who have nothing and want very little.”
