PARENT NEWLETTER | ISSUE 3 | SUMMER EDITION

Hello Parents & Guardians:It is impossible to believe that we have arrived at the end of another wonderful school year. Rather than share my usual year end summary, I did want to share some information with you concerning what you are hearing in the news surrounding the Ontario Government’s increase in the pupil-teacher ratio from 22:1 to 28:1. I have also had this conversation with our Parent Council (CSPC).We have been working with this change since this spring when school boards across Ontario received their reduced budgets for the 2019-20 school year. I will try my very best to present concise information. As the Principal of Mary Ward C.S.S. however, I feel it is important that all of you understand how this increase in the pupil-teacher ratio will impact your child. The math behind the secondary school 28:1 pupil-teacher ratio does not mean every teacher will teach 28 students. This ratio consists of the average of all classes within each school Board. This number includes all programming including special needs classes and specialty classes where there may be very low numbers across the Board.

Here’s how this has impacted us at Mary Ward for the upcoming school year:• Four fewer staff members here at Mary Ward next year• Reduction of 24.5 fewer classes next year• Reduction of almost 2 sections of Library. • Reduction of almost 5 sections of Guidance. • Class sizes will increase for the most part. Not every class will be full, but this will impact the ability to change student timetables to support necessary academic level changes for student success.• If classes are full, students and their families may need to consider night school or day e-learning courses. • The 28:1 pupil-teacher ratio will increase over a four-year period. The TCDSB has indicated that we are almost 13% of the way to full implementation.

The Good News:• We have a strong and committed teaching and support staff• Our self-directed learning program will ease some of this daily impact as compared to traditional schools. • We always work to the best of our ability to support our students every day.• We will work through any potential challenges together with you.• We are passionate and dedicated educators who will continue to make a difference in the lives of all our children.

I hope this provides some clarification for you. On behalf of all of us here at Mary Ward C.S.S. we wish all of you a most enjoyable, relaxing and wonderful summer.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

May God bless you and your families,Mrs. Andrea MageePrincipal, Mary Ward C.S.S.

On April 2, our Grade 11 chemistry students participated in a unique and rich learning experience when they led a morning of chemistry and CSI-themed lessons in various elementary schools. We were lucky enough to work with Epiphany of Our Lord, St. Henry, St. Marguerite Bourgeoys and Holy Spirit on this wonderful initiative. Grades 1-8 were involved in hands-on, creative and well-planned activities that were organized and carried out by our amazing senior science students. A big thank you goes out to all the adults that continue to make this program possible, and the elementary schools who continue to open up their doors to us.

Our SAST (Safe and Accepting Schools Team) has been keeping busy throughout the year with many projects, including Health Action Week, Anti-Bullying Week, and the Stone Soup Championship. SAST provided morning announcemenents and reflections, and a morning TA activity called ‘I Pledge’ to bring awareness to mental health. These pledges on flags were then combined to make a banner. They also hosted the lunch presentation ‘Youth Outreach Worker’ by East Merto Services, and their safe schools grant project of $300 was approved! Way to go SAST!

Mary Ward student delegates participated in the Bishop Allen Model United Nations, which took place at the CEC. The various councils included Animal Rights, Economic & Social Council, European Union Council, General assembly Jr Council, the League of Nations, the World Health Organization Council and even the Harry Potter Council.

Students dressed in business casual attire although costumes were considered acceptable for Harry Potter Council! They brought their research, laptops and a good attitude! The special guest speaker was Mayor John Tory, who spoke fondly of Education in Ontario and cautioned about what the looming budget cuts would do to the future of Education.

On Tuesday May 21, the English Department welcomed Shakespeare In Action to facilitate a workshop with our grade 9 and 10 students. Students stepped out of their comfort zones while examining the rhythm and poetry in key speeches from the plays studied in class, and also participated in writing their own lyrical interpretations of a Shakespeare verse. We look forward to scheduling more workshops in the 2019/2020 school year!

Shakespeare Meets Hip-Hop

Using the great Renaissance master Leonardo Da Vinci as a model for true interdisciplinary learning, Grade 10 students recently engaged in an exciting day that drew together Math, Science and Art. In a transformed Ward cafeteria and working in competitive teams, our students were given a number of exciting and ‘brain-teasing’ dilemmas to solve. Lasers, mirrors and a smoke machine were the basis for challenges that required our Grade 10’s to use their knowledge of math, science and creative problem solving to accurately hit a target. Aside from the reward of bragging rights and some pretty exciting learning (not to mention 3 units earned in one day!), the winning team got to inscribe their names on the unique trophy and enjoy a team pizza lunch. Just another great day of learning at Mary Ward!

On April 26th, after weeks of careful preparation, our grade 11 law students conducted the annual CWS mock trial. The Defence and Crown Counsel delivered opening and closing statements and conducted their direct and cross-examinations of the well-prepared witnesses. Throughout the trial, the judge and jurors took detailed notes to render the right decision at trial’s end. After a hard-fought trial, the Defence narrowly won an acquittal for their client. Once again, the CWS mock trial proved to be an outstanding challenge for our law students to simulate the roles of the real-life trial participants they had observed on their recent CWS court trip!

In April the senior CWS students participated in the annual senior students’ CWS debates. The students came thoroughly prepared to debate their chosen resolution, addressing issues including social media censorship, carbon taxation and climate change. Their preparation and debating advocacy paid off – all the issues were vigorously argued and the debate winners won by only a narrow margin in each debate!

His wish… to conquer cancer… CHECK!… to sport his favourite Raptor’s player’s jersey on game day... CHECK CHECK! With much anticipation and success, Gr. 12 classmate, Joseph Serrentino, finished his last treatment, a cancer stem cells transplant, on March 19th, 2019. Joseph is a strong, courageous and inspirational individual who is admired and loved by all. On May 10th, while visiting his friends at school, Joseph was presented with an official Raptor’s jersey signed by his all-time favourite player Kyle Lowry. To everyone’s surprise, all of Joseph’s friends were also presented with official playoff t-shirts! What an exciting day! Our cup runneth over! This year the Business BMX students, also fondly known as “The BMX Project”, decided to raise funds to purchase a sports jersey for a dear friend going through a difficult and challenging time. Students hosted various sales throughout the year such as Merry Masons, Crush for a Crush, and Bunny Business. However, magic happened when Mrs. van Rooyen, BMX’s biggest supporter, made a very special phone call. We would like extend our sincerest appreciation and thank you to Damian Hall, Director of Finance for the MLSE, Kyle Lowry and The Toronto Raptors for their extremely generous donations. Thank you Mrs. van Rooyen for making this all possible. On the biggest game day of all, the 2019 NBA Championships, a small group of very enthusiastic and loyal fans were wearing their red and white jersey and t-shirts cheering their team to victory! We are proud of our young entrepreneurs! Joseph has chosen to donate proceeds raised by his BMX classmates to the Princess Margaret Hospital Cancer Research Program, to help find a cure. Go Joseph Go! We are your biggest fans!

The BMX Project: A FRIEND’S WISH

Over the past few weeks, our special needs students have taken part in a series of end of year trips. We have gone to the Eaton Centre, Variety Village, and Miliken Park as well as an overnight trip to the YMCA Cedar Glen Outdoor Centre. We also had a few in-school celebrations where students made food and attended science and drumming workshops. Fun was had by all!

The Mary Ward Special Needs Co-op Program gives our students the opportunity to experience the world of work by developing meaningful life skills as well as build relationships, confidence and self-esteem. They learn to interact and develop the social skills that assist them in all areas of their life. This year we had the privilege of working with several exceptional employers! Over the past 8 years, Nick’s No Frills (Agincourt Mall) has been a big supporter of our program. Taking 2 students per year, the caring and patient staff provide opportunities for students to learn, grow and practice essential workplace skills. Our young workers, Steven and Joseph, also enjoyed friendly conversation with colleagues and customers… especially during the Raptor’s playoff season! A special thank you to Nick and Terry for their encouragement and unconditional support. This past year we have also had the wonderful opportunity to place Stephanie at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehab Hospital in North York. Carolyn (Coordinator) and Carling (Supervisor) were very instrumental in continually providing experiences and tasks which allowed Stephanie to grow as an individual. She said that the best part of her job was connecting with other staff when delivering recognition awards. We would also like to thank Susan (Volunteer Services Coordinator) and Heather (Recreation Supervisor) at Shepherd Village (Agincourt), Sonia (Centre Supervisor), Michelle (Supervisor) & staff in the Toddler Program, Mary Ward Child Care Centre, and Mrs. Rayman (Supervisor), Mary Ward Breakfast Program, for their outstanding contributions to our program and for believing in our young workers. And finally, to this year’s Job Coaches who make work fun …. thank you for being the students’ cheerleaders! A happy and safe summer to all!

cO-OPCO-OP @WARD

CO-OP is the perfect opportunity for students to get their first glimpse of a career they are interested in pursuing in the future. Here at Mary Ward, a co-op placement can be found in almost any field of work you could imagine. This year’s students have had placements in education, culinary, journalism, health-care, computer programming and repair, and even policing. The possibilities are absolutely endless, and co-op is the perfect course to take if you really want to get first-hand experience with professionals in the field.

HEALTH & WELLNESSHealthcare is a field of co-op that has so many endless opportunities. The placements included: an emergency room, a cardiology clinic, a fracture clinic, labour and delivery, mother and newborn, patient care, recreation and reactivation just to name a few. Mary Ward has strong ties with several health-care partners and students are able to make workplace connections with the curriculum learned in the classroom. Here’s what the healthcare students have said:

“A really immersive and eye opening experience. I was able to learn a lot from all the procedures.” – Charmaine Sy, Fracture Clinic, NYGH

“It was an important experience in my life, being able to see the moments with my own eyes. It helped me realize that what I said I wanted to do in the future, is really what I want to do.” - Liliana Lin, Mother & Baby, NYGH

“Throughout my internship at the hospital, I was given the opportunity to work with many skilled pro-fessionals who have not only provided me with valuable insights on the healthcare industry, but have also shown me hospitality and generosity. I especially admired my supervisor, who despite a very busy schedule filled with endless meetings and projects dedicated to the improvement of the hospital, she continually showed incredible leadership, kindness and always provided me with a variety of new learning opportunities in allowing me to attend meetings, complete shadow shifts in various departments, and guided me through tasks and responsibilities. In working with my supervisor, I have discov-ered the skills and effort needed to become a strong leader and the importance of communication in a team environment. My supervisor not only demonstrated the significance of practicing strong profes-sional workplace skills, but also the importance of maintaining a balance between professional and personal life. Her work ethic has proven to me that everything can be achieved through hard work and determination. As well, it has inspired me to do my best in everything I do. I am extremely grateful for being able to work with such a welcoming and positive healthcare team. This has inspired me to continue my education and pursue a career in the medical field.” - Queenny Chiu, Emergency Dept., Scarborough General Hospital.

“Co op helped me realize that healthcare wasn’t the field for me. After working in the healthcare field with professionals for four months and seeing the amount of stress they have to go through, I decided that the healthcare field was not the best choice for my future.” – Kharish Pratheesh, Diabetes Clinic,

Scarborough General Hospital.

“It was challenging in the beginning, especially when my co-workers were all older than me. However, I learned a lot of information in my field quickly, and I value the learning experience and the people I worked with.” -Elle Co, MCO Orthodontics

“Co-op was an opportunity for me to truly witness first-hand the daily life of a veterinarian and have the chance to picture this career in my own life. It has allowed me to see that I have the strength to withstand the challenges and pressures of this profession. My supervisor taught me the importance of following my passions and facing all difficulties associated with attaining

these dreams. Co-op has provided me with an unforgettable experience that I will remember for years to come.” – Nicole Owsiki, Vet Technician, Rouge Valley Animal Hospital

EDUCATIONSo many young teenagers are inspired by their teachers, and hope to one day also be able to motivate younger generations. Getting first-hand experience in the classroom provides them with a very good opportunity to practice and learn about what is involved in teaching.

“A valuable experience that equipped me with skills for a future that I can confidently progress into. It also, allowed me to realize I want to be an elementary school teacher in the future.” – Bernisce Bernabe, Teach-er’s Assistant, Blessed Kateri

POLICINGSome students have the goal to be able to serve and protect the city they grew up in. This student had the opportunity to see the day-to-day life of a police officer and all the work that happens behind the scenes.

“Choosing to do co-op at the TPS is one of the best choices I’ve made in my lifetime. It taught me so much, allowing me the opportunity to witness the important work that goes into keeping our city safe. It was a lot of fun which made me so sad to leave.” - Minoli Thabo, Employment, Toronto Police Services

Other students had great success in a variety of other placements:

“I was lucky enough to receive two co-op placements, in two very different forms of media. Both were very enjoyable placements, and gave me great experience in the field. Throughout my months work-ing, I was able to attend a press conference, conduct interviews with some of Ryerson’s best athletes,

and even meet NHL legend, Eric Lindros. These placements made me so excit-ed for the future I am pursuing.” – Joseph Casciaro, Journalism & Communica-tions, The Eyeopener, TCDSB.

“My placement has assisted me in seeing what the world of work really looks like outside of high school. They were passionate about cars and taught me how to express my own passion for cars. As of now, I still plan to be a mechanical engineer so that I can pursue my dream of designing cars. This placement truly taught me about how I should use my potential to be the best I can be in the

To start each morning of Asian Heritage Month off, students presented information on note-worthy Asian Canadians and Asian Cultural information over the PA system. Students also wrote and led meaningful prayers in relation to the information they presented, such as praying for perseverance and hope in challenging times. Each week, a region in Asia was featured on a big display board, and posters of note-worthy Asian Canadians were exhibited in the front foyer. Every week, various costumes and artifacts from different cultures were also displayed in the foyer.

This year, our Student Supervisor, Ms. Ferrante, offered her expertise as a graduate from Hotel Restaurant Management from Humber College and put on her Master Chef’s hat, teaching students how to cook various Asian food such Chinese Spring Rolls, Filipino Torone, and many more delicious dishes. Nine student artists also provided Henna services at lunch. Students could choose from a variety of designs. It was lots of fun and was a learning experience about Henna!

The highlight of the month of celebration was the Cultural Expose and Fashion Show where staff and students showed off their talents and cultural costumes! Everyone learned something new from this fun-filled event! Thanks to all the staff and students for their support of Asian Heritage Month celebration!

ASIAN HERTIAGE MONTH

THE ENDING OF AN ERA

From May 6-10, the Mary Ward community and all visitors were treated to one of the biggest Art/Tech shows ever; both literally and creatively. This year’s theme of ‘Facade’ allowed our Art and Technology students to explore the worlds behind their masks through up close and personal installations and art pieces. Whether it was through painting, sculpting, building, or designing, our talented and insightful young creators did not disappoint to put on a vulnerable and unique show. Visitors enjoyed the talents of our Fa-Stage, and the screening of short films in the video studio. Without doubt, none of this could have been done without our amazing Arts Administration team who put in tremendous amounts of effort and time to put on one of the most memorable Art shows in Mary Ward history. Thank you to Mr. Notten, who gave us motivation to put on the best last show for him, and for working day and night to help us achieve our vision. To fa-more next year!

oasis training atwoodland trailsFrom June 10th to 11th, 71 grade 10 and 11 student leaders attended leadership training at Woodland Trails Scout Camp in Stouffville, ON. Despite some wet weather, the students had an amazing time getting to know one another, learning about the importance of perseverance in a leadership role, and of course watching game 5 of the Raptors series before heading out to a campfire. As this was the final campfire that Mr. Notten would create for Mary Ward, it was an extra special event, and even the weather cooperated. The OASIS leaders are now ready to help welcome the incoming grade 9s this September.

From May 6-8, Mary Ward students competed at the Skills Ontario Competition at the Toronto Congress Centre. With a variety of competitions covering technology and the trades, our students showed great skill and perseverance throughtout the very long and tiring day. Congratulations to Jamie Edghill who placed 9th in Photography Scope, Queenny Chiu who placed 4th in the Job Interview Scope and Cassandra Cascone who placed 1st in the Graphic Design Presentation Scope! Special thanks to Mrs. Powell, Mr. Emer, and Mr. DeRose for their guidance and support!
