Great Ottawa Trip for Sacred Heart High School

Grade seven students from Sacred Heart High School enjoyed an educational tour of Ottawa June 20-23.  Some highlights of the trip included a visit with Senator Ogilvie and tours of Parliament, Rideau Hall, National War Museum, National History Museum, Canadian Museum of Nature, National Art Gallery and the Royal Canadian Mint.  Students participated in a mock trial at the Supreme Court, honed their negotiating skills making fur trades at a museum workshop, went on a ghost detecting mission, competed in scavenger hunts in museums, and enjoyed a leisurely boat tour along the Ottawa River.  The tour was organized by Patricia McMullen and chaperoned by Kathryn Bjornson, Janne Lee, and Sarah McGuire. 

Thank you for the pictures, Ms. McMullen!

Have a wonderful summer!

Our honoured guests this year were Lil MacPherson, Poet Joyce Caines, Green Schools representative Anne Sarah Eyrlich and Naomi Hill.

Naomi Hill is the Director of Sustainability at Fusion Halifax which is a non-profit organization that challenges young professionals in Halifax to think forward and take charge of their city’s future. Fusion values our community and believes that civic engagement and the development of young professionals are key to building a city that we can call home for years to come.

Here is the pledge:

I pledge to explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences of any task or job I consider and will try to improve these aspects in any organization for which I work.

Amy Clarke Heads to India with Me to We!

Amy Clarke, in Grade 12, started a new club this year called the Pillow Case project.  Amy led a small group of students who met to learn how to transform pillow cases into beautiful, simple dresses for little girls. 

At the end of July, Amy will travel to India with a Me to We group, and she will take the dresses with her to give to those in need.  The dresses are simply made, and students in the club learned some new sewing skills and shared friendships. 

Thank you, Amy, for initiating this project!  We wish you well in your travels!
