St. Charles College has been awarded a Catholic Education Foundation of Ontario award for 2017. The RJ McCarthy awards are given to schools for projects that nurture the growth and education of the whole person.

The School plans to use the funds to support students in the Open Doors program, a program to assist at-risk youth. The students in the program will spend the next year building partnerships with local parishes thereby strengthening their faith and faith opportunities.

St. Charles College is the only school in Northern Ontario to be granted this award.

St Charles College hosted their second annual Relay for Life Event in support of Canadian Cancer Society! Many students came out today to participate in the laps, as well as many other fun activities such as face painting and water balloon toss! The event provided the school the opportunity to give back to our community and to many cancer patients across our district. Special thanks to all staff and students who helped put this event together!

KICX 91.7 and Greater Sudbury Police Service have partnered to deliver Random Acts of Kindness and today they came to St. Charles College to support the breakfast program.

This morning, Constable Hally Willmott showed up with the KICX morning hosts, Brad and Leann Hulme and Moolah the Cash Cow to make the cash donation to Principal Patty Mardero along with SCC student and breakfast club helper Aryanna Recollet.

The breakfast program runs daily under theh direction of Julie Jessop to feed more than one thousand students in grades 7 through to grade 12.

SCC would like to thank Sudbury Police and KICX for their random act of kindness!

If you drove by St. Charles College today, you would have seen officers repelling off the roof. Greater Sudbury Police Services kicked off Police week with a huge event for the entire campus including several classes from Holy Trinity Catholic Elementary School.

The event included displays of weaponry, the mobile command centre, a canine unit presentation, face painting and the list goes on.

St. Charles College was proud to host the event in conjunction with GSPS as it promotes safety and policing in our community.

The St. Charles College grade 8’s were treated to an informative presentation complete with a pizza lunch courtesy of the Learning Disabilities Association of Ontario. The presentation, that centred around a pizza theme, had students explore their strengths and learn about their learning styles in order to prepare for high school next year.

The LDAO presentation also focused on proper streaming, graduation requirements and forced the students to get serious about the future.

One of the fun activities, had the students think about their differences and celebrate them. They had to put up their left or right hand depending on their preferences. Questions were asked like “do you prefer the X Box or the play station?” “Do you prefer sweet or salty foods?”

The presentation helps the students with guidance education and to complete their IPP (Individual Pathway Plan) as they get ready to enter high school in the fall of 2016.
