April 2008

Catholic Education Week - April 27 - May 2, 2008 – “We Are Called…”

Each year, in the province of Ontario, we celebrate Catholic Education Week to recognize the importance of our Catholic schools. This year’s theme is “We are called…” and comes from the well known quote from the prophet Isaiah, “I have called you by name, you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1) Each person is called by God, and Catholic schools are based on the commitment to recognize that personal dignity, so that those who are educated there will be helped to discover the purpose of their lives as children of God. Catholic education is meant to reveal not only the "what" and "how" of life, but also, and more importantly, the "why". In Catholic schools across the Archdiocese of Toronto, teachers and support staff invite our children to walk with one another as they grow in faith together. This is a responsibility that we all share - in home, parish community, and school. In that sense, we are all teachers and we all continue to learn. As the Archbishop of Toronto, I encourage you to renew your commitment to Catholic education. It is a beacon of hope in a troubled world. With your active engagement, it can provide a powerful vehicle through which God can call us to become what He intends us to be. Our Catholic schools seek to graduate men and women who know and practice justice, service, love and humility in the imitation of Jesus Christ. It invites those who experience it to weave the thread of faith through all that they do, and so to discover the path to the fullness of life. Catholic education is meant to lead not only to knowledge, but also to that holy wisdom that is made evident in the way we treat one another. To the many fine teachers, administrators, support staff and trustees, I express my gratitude for your ongoing efforts. In celebrating Catholic Education Week, may we all - parents, students, clergy, and educators - reflect deeply on the purpose and value of Catholic education, and devote our prayers, thoughts, and actions to its continued enhancement.

Yours sincerely in the Lord,

Thomas C. Collins, Archbishop of Toronto

Parish Bulletin Announcement

Catholic Education Week 2008 – “We Are Called…”

Sunday, April 27 – May 2, 2008 Our Catholic schools invite parishioners to join them in celebrating Catholic Education Week 2008 to celebrate the distinctive contribution that Catholic schools make to our students, our community and to the province at large.

We encourage all members of our parish to pray for Catholic education and reflect on the significant role it plays in today’s world. Visit www.archtoronto.org for more information, links and resources on Catholic education.

Sample Prayers of the Faithful for Catholic Education Week 2008

As we begin Catholic Education Week, we pray for all those who educate our children. May they continue to serve as a beacon of hope, sharing their knowledge and guiding us on the journey. We pray to the Lord. For parents, may they nurture the seeds of faith and strive to make their home a place where children can hear God call them by name. We pray to the Lord. For our parish, that we may foster a community of peace, joy, justice and love for our young people. We pray to the Lord. For all students, we give thanks to God for the many gifts and talents entrusted to them. May they follow the example of Jesus, faithfully serving one another. We pray to the Lord.

Toronto’s Publicly-Funded Catholic Schools

Celebrating Catholic Education Week April 27-May 2, 2008: “We Are Called"

We are called to be faith-centered communities, which integrate thinking and believing in ways that encourage intellectual growth, nurture faith and inspire action. We are called to be a community of educators, but even more importantly to be communities of faith. It is our shared belief in Jesus Christ and in Catholic teachings and values that binds us together. No matter where we come from, we recognize that we are all members of the one body of Christ. We are called to appreciate the rich diversity of our student population and school communities and to develop an appreciation for the many cultures, languages and ethnicities that make an indelible imprint on our daily lives. We are called to educate each and every student to his or her full potential by focusing not just on the basics. Through a Christ-centered vision, and in partnership with parents, parishes and communities, we are called upon to serve students from diverse cultural, linguistic and ethnic backgrounds in Canada’s largest and most dynamic city. We are called to celebrate Catholic Education Week and look deep within ourselves to find our true calling as students, parents, educators, as co-workers and as communities.

The Board’s objection relates to the lack of pupil spaces at in nearby elementary schools to accommodate students from the new development. Board Objects to Zoning Bylaw Amendment Toronto Catholic District School Board objects to a Draft Plan for a new development at the northeast corner of Lawrence Avenue and Dufferin Street. It is anticipated that this development would generate 84 students at the elementary level and 56 students at the secondary level. The Board’s objection relates to the lack of pupil spaces at Dante Alighieri Academy, which is already at 206% capacity and has 21 portables on site.

Although the Board does not encourage these unauthorized activities, this insurance will be made available at the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year at a cost of $80 per year to be paid for by the individual CSAC at its own discretion.

• Assistant Caretakers may apply to write the Head Caretaker BESII test and the Head Caretaker BESII Mechanical test, but must attach a copy of their completed BES certificate with the registration form.

• Head Caretakers currently in Category A schools (codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) who wish to pre-qualify for Category B schools (codes 7, 8, 9 and 9+) will be required to write the General Head Caretaker test and the Head Caretaker Mechanical test.

• Head Caretakers currently in Category A schools who wish to pre-qualify for Category B schools requiring BESII will be required to write the Head Caretaker BESII test and the BESII Mechanical test. Employees registering to write this test must attach a copy of their completed BES II certificate to the registration form.

• Head Caretakers currently in Category B schools who wish to pre-qualify for BES II schools will be required to write the Head Caretaker BESII test and the BESII Mechanical test. Employees registering to write this test must attach a copy of their completed BES II certificate to the registration form.

The passing mark for all tests will be 65%. Employees must pass both tests to be short listed. Employees will be advised of the results of their test scores by letter.

Employees will be eligible to re-write the test when the next test session is confirmed. However, each time an employee wishes to re-write the pre-qualifying test, they will need to register by the deadline date for that specific testing session. Human Resources will not keep lists of employees who do not pre-qualify or who wish to re-write.

If employees request to re-write the pre-qualifying test, the new test score will be the test score used from that point forward – even if it is lower than the previous test score.

If an employee’s test results indicate that they have pre-qualified, their name, seniority date and the test results will be kept on a spread sheet to be used when Head Caretaker positions are posted. The pre-qualifying spreadsheet will be kept by the Human Resources department and is strictly confidential.

Employees’ test results will be filed in the employee file within the Operations department and will be strictly confidential.

Pre-qualified employees will be short listed to August 31, 2008. At that time, the process will be evaluated, and Union/Management will determine if the short list will be extended. If extended, due to changing technology and its impact on our schools, 3 years has been determined as a probable suitable short list period. Once the 3-year period expires, employees will be required to re-write the test(s).

Pre-qualified employees who bid on Head Caretaker positions after May 1, 2007 will continue to be subject to the current posting/interview award process (seniority issues, any specific qualification/experience required as noted in the posting, successful positive recommendation from the SQS, test score, good attendance record, etc.)

The main story involves Horton the Elephant's efforts to save his friend Jojo and the other inhabitants on Who, despite trials and tribulations only Dr. Seuss could dream up! Horton is a determined, loyal and faithful friend who holds on to his beliefs and keeps his promises. A wonderful show for adults and children alike, this year’s production is directed by Mirella Rossi, with musical direction by Roger Richard and Vincent Gassi.

McLuhan celebrates Canadian Film and Theatre On Friday, April 18 the students of Marshall McLuhan enjoyed a full day of movies and meeting celebrities thanks to a wonderful program called REEL Canada. Sponsored by Telefilm Canada, this program offered the students the opportunity to view highly- acclaimed Canadian films and to meet one member of the creative team associated with the production of the film. Marshall McLuhan was privileged to welcome Academy Award-nominated director and Cannes Award-winning, Atom Egoyan, the star of Da Vinci's Code, Nicholas Campbell, and Gemini Award-winning director, Jerry Ciccoritti. The students really enjoyed the films and learning about the process of making movie magic!

For the first time ever, Marshall McLuhan entered the Sears Ontario Drama Festival with wonderful results. Jugband Blues, an original piece, was written and directed by Joel Chico who was joined in the cast by Bianca Gallo, Saul Lopez, Adam Ragusa, Matteo Cannarozzo, and Johnny Dabu. Mark Browne played piano and Daniel Shumka stage-managed. Joel received an Award of Excellence for his Writing/ Directing and Acting, and the cast as a whole won an Award of Excellence for Ensemble Performance. Furthermore, Jugband Blues was honoured to launch the Sears Regionals at Hart House by performing as their Guest Production on opening night. The Arts Department and McLuhan as a whole are very proud of Joel and these hard-working actors. Marshall McLuhan’s Biotech Team Participates at the Sanofi-Aventis BioTalent Challenge Congratulations to Marshall McLuhan’s Biotech team, Wesley Wong, Sarah Kanzo and Christopher Hodges, who will participate in the Sanofi-Aventis Biotech Challenge at York University April 29, 30 and May 1, 2008. The team worked with mentors from Toronto’s Sick Children’s Hospital and Mount Sinai along with their science teacher, Ms. Teresa Garisto in investigating a new chemotherapy for cancer research. Their research project is entitled, “Apoptosis via helenalin and alph-bromoacryloyl for chemotherapy of isolated cancer cells.” This knowledge may help kill tumour cells and further chemotherapy treatments for cancer patients. Nunavut Project at McMichael: Carmen Nieto in grade 10 Visual Arts has a painting on exhibit in ‘A Climate Change’ at the McMichael Art Gallery in Kleinburg. Her painting of an endangered silverback gorilla is entitled "The Last Look". Carmen’s work is the anchor piece of the show, which runs from April to September 2008.

Climate Change at Ontario Science Centre: A group of Arts students at McLuhan have been invited to work closely with the Ontario Science Centre and create an exhibition space in the Ideas Gallery. Our students will be creating soundscapes, animations and a feature tree in the space. They will be working with the designers at the Science Centre. The show on climate change will open September 4, 2008 as part of the International Polar Year Project.

SUBJECT: 11-7 Neil McNeil Eco Club Cleans Up! Neil McNeil’s Eco Club organized groups of students to participate in this year’s 20 Minute Toronto Makeover, the city’s annual clean-up, on Friday, April 18. Class groups set out into the Neil McNeil community throughout the day to pick up garbage and recycling in an effort to beautify the neighbourhood. Students were surprised to find grocery carts, bicycles, and discarded toys in the nearby ravine. The clean-up efforts resulted in an overflowing dumpster and full recycling bins. The Eco Club’s founder and leader, grade 11 student Danlee Athill, takes inspiration for his group from the idea, ‘The best time to plant a tree was forty years ago, the second best time is now.’ He says, “Every step taken towards bettering the environment is a step towards making our world a better place to live.” The Eco Club’s efforts are ongoing with recycling initiatives and environmental awareness campaigns.

WORKPLACE FATALITIES

NATIONAL DAY OF

MOURNING

MONDAY, APRIL 28, 2008

Each year, workplace accidents and occupational disease are responsible for a large number of workplace fatalities among Canadian workers. On average, 3 Canadians die each workday due to workplace accidents. Thousands suffer disabling injuries, many of them permanent causing enormous pain and suffering for employees and their families. In recognition of these ongoing losses and injuries, the Canadian Labour Congress and the Federal Government have declared April 28, 2008 as “National Day of Mourning”. To commemorate this day, workers throughout Canada are encouraged to observe a moment of silence to remember those workers who died from workplace accidents or occupationally related diseases. All teachers are encouraged to incorporate safety in their daily classroom activities. The live safe work smart program provides Ontario teachers with resource materials that can be easily incorporated in everyday lesson plans.

http://www.livesafeworksmart.net/ Secondary School Principals and teachers are encouraged to remind all students who are working part-time or are looking for a summer job to work safely and to ask questions in the workplace if they are unsure about a job task. Since 1998, there have been 6 workplace fatalities to education workers in Ontario school boards.

If you have any questions, please call your TCDSB Occupational Health and Safety Department, Corrado Maltese at (416) 222-8282, ext. 2665 or Rhea D’Silva at (416) 222-8282, ext. 2017.
