NPSC Schools 'Igniting Hope'

Our Lady of Sorrows School created a beautiful video to share their messages of hope from home. 

Our board office employees wanted to share some love with our schools, and get in on the Catholic Education Week celebrations. Here is a video from the board central team, to our schools.

Students at St. Gregory School have created short videos that demonstrate the different ways they can find hope in our faith, our community and our world. Here are a few submissions:

Students and staff at St. Victor shared photos of what learning looks like at home, creating this fantastic video . They are 'Igniting Hope' through education.

Our friends at St. Francis submitted this short video to the Ontario Catholic Trustees Association short video contest. We couldn't be more pleased to showcase their work.

The Religion Department at SJSH created this wonderful video to celebrate Catholic Education Week and the month of May. 

Students in Ms Curran’s class have been working hard to make hand-sewn hearts to deliver to the North Bay Regional Health Centre. One heart will be given to patients in the intensive care unit and another to their family members, who are unable to visit them at this time. These gifts act as a small reminder that these two hearts will be reunited again. Another example of how our students continue to 'Ignite Hope' in our community. 



Our friends at St. Francis made celebrated Catholic Education Week by designing posters and talking about how they 'Ignite Hope' in their own lives. Below is a collage of their fantastic work! 

Students in the 4/5 class at St. Victor have been taking part in a rock-decorating project, leaving inspiring messages of hope for others to find.



Mrs. Shago's grade 2/3 class at St. Alexander School shared some of their messages of HOPE after reading Emmanuel’s Dream by Laurie Ann Thompson. A story, about Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, a boy who was born with a disability. Emmanuel didn’t let his challenges stop him from achieving his goals, including bicycling across Ghana.
