Anti -bullying week stresses
importance of kindness
Eagles' Pride
This week was anti -bullying week at St.
Anne's. Each day, members of Agents of
Change focussed on an important issue,
held a different activity for the students and
showed videos focusing on the different
aspects of bullying. The themes of the week
were the importance of inclusion, the nega-
tive effects of gossiping, using social media
positively, what it means to be a bystander
and the importance of kindness towards
others. Each day taught the students more
and continued the discussion of the impor-
tance of positive relationships. Together, stu-
dents and staff at St. Anne's spent the week
working together to stand up to bullying.
The Advent Project started this week at St.
Anne's. This year, we are asking students to
bring in winter wear for the community of
Kashechewan, new or gently used baby
clothes for Room 2 Grow and gifts for pre-
teens and teens for the Christmas Bureau in
Seaforth. All third period classes are asked
to take on the challenge of bringing in as
much as they can to help these families and
individuals during the advent season.
This week the band went continued their
tour to our Catholic elementary partner
schools to show off the St. Anne's music pro-
gram and their awesome talent. Swimming
and curling have both started here at St.
Anne's and the first swim meet took place
this Friday in Goderich. Good luck to both
teams in the upcoming season! Grade 8 vis-
its are happening next week so if you know a
student that is considering St. Anne's for
next year, please call the school at 519-482-
5454. Minister of Public Relations, Claire
