Wellness is the quality or state of being healthy in mind, body and spirit – especially as the result of deliberate effort. It is seen as an approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to emphasizing treating diseases.
Sudbury Catholic Schools staff put their wellness first by participating in a Board Wide Wellness Day! Staff were encouraged to complete a wellness activity throughout their work day that would help enhance their mind, body and spirit. From walking to yoga, indulging in a healthy lunch or trying meditation, the possibilities seemed endless!
Great job by all participants!
The Sudbury Catholic District School Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Ryan Scarpellini as the Student Trustee for the 2019-2020 School Year. Ryan was appointed to this position at the April 16 Board of Trustees meeting. Ryan will be entering Grade 12 in the Fall of 2019 at St. Charles College.
Ryan has been enrolled in the French Immersion program
for 13 years and is passionate about the Francophone culture that is present at
both St. Charles College and at the Sudbury Catholic District School Board. He hopes
to one day have a career in the education field, teaching French Immersion at
the secondary level. Ryan is also very involved within the school community at St.
Charles College. He is a member of both the Student Senate and the Student
Council, which has allowed him to help organize food drives, cancer fundraisers
and other school functions.
Ryan has been a member of many sports teams throughout
his years at St. Charles College including football, hockey, soccer, golf and
badminton. He believes that participating in the extracurricular activities
provided him with communication and intrapersonal skills, and he enjoys being
part of a team!
“I feel extremely blessed and proud to
have been selected as the next Student Trustee of the Sudbury Catholic District
School Board,” said Ryan Scarpellini, newly appointed Student Trustee. “I’m
excited to become the voice of the students at Sudbury Catholic Schools and I look

Immersion will be a definite asset to our Board. We look forward to working
with him throughout the next school year.”

The Chinese New Year was fully embraced at St. Charles College on February 5th, 2019, where staff and students came together as a school community dressed in red to celebrate. The students received beautifully red wrapped mandarin oranges from the breakfast club, which symbolizes good luck and friendship in the Chinese culture.
A traditional lunch, which consisted of dumplings, pork rice, spring rolls and almond cookies was served to students in the English Café, a club for all international students. New Year festivities will continue during the month of February at lunch for students to participate and learn about various traditions of the Chinese culture. Workshops on calligraphy, dragon art and a friendly chopstick competition will be held in the learning commons. These workshops will be led by our international students and partners in the community like the YMCA and Laurentian University’s international student program.
