Community volunteers Dustin
and Christian Andrews completed
the new paint job on the existing
swing set at the park last weekend.
The boys can add the time spent on
the swing set refresh to their
community hours required for
school. The new colour of the
swing set is meant to complement
the colours of the new playground
equipment.
Many will have taken notice that
the old equipment has now been
completely removed and the digging
has begun for the base of the new
equipment. The municipality of
Central Huron will be looking after
the installation of the equipment,
along with Play Power, the
equipment distributor. It won’t be
long now – the Playground
Committee is excited to see the
finished product, as are the children
that reside in the village.
After tallying the final figures,
just over $600 was raised for the
Goderich and Area Disaster Relief
Fund during Road Hockey Day at
Auburn earlier this month.

The week of October 17 to 21 at
St. Anne’s Catholic Secondary
School brought several extra-
curricular events and educational
excursions.
On Monday, Oct. 17, the field
hockey team hosted a tournament at
the school where they defeated both
St. Marys and Stratford
Northwestern. On Thursday, Oct.

volleyball teams headed to
Northwestern for games and the
cross country team departed
for the annual Huron Perth meet in
Exeter.
On Tuesday, Oct. 18, the students
who take part in the Specialist High
Skills Major programs at St. Anne’s
underwent GPS training at St.
Michael's in Stratford. The school
has three of these programs, entitled
Arts and Culture, Energy, and
Agriculture which offer students a
chance to take a co-operative
education program in the location of
their choosing and also the
opportunity to complete several
extra certifications and specialized
events and trips.
Additionally, on Wednesday, Oct.
19, classes from the English
department travelled to Toronto to
attend a theatre production and to
enhance their interactions and team-
building skills.
Last week, after the annual “Walk
for Wellness” event at the school,
students and staff of St. Anne's were
able to raise over $15,500 in pledges
which will be donated to both the St.
Anne’s fitness room and St. Vincent
de Paul in Goderich.
Anyone interested in attending
Grade 9 at St. Anne’s next year is
invited to the school’s annual open
house on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 6:45
p.m. This will be a night for parents
and students to learn all about St.
Anne’s and the programs that we
offer. Hope to see you there!
