In honour of Autism Awareness Month, the Library Advisory Council is celebrating comic book cinema with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse along with movie trivia after school, tomorrow, from 3-7 PM. Make sure to bring $5 to cover the cost of pizza and a drink; now that's a deal even Peter Parker would say is a steal. Tickets are on sale now at the back of the caf.
6. Buongiorno! The Religion Department is thrilled to announce that our March Break 2026 trip to Italy is officially confirmed—we’ve got enough students signed up, and we’re ready to go! We’ll start in the stunning landscapes of Northern Italy and make our way down to Roma, the heart of Catholicism and a city rich in faith, history, and la dolce vita. We’re still inviting more students to join us on this incredible adventure—the more, the merrier! If you're interested in coming along on this unforgettable adventure, join us for an information night on Monday, April 28 at 6:30 PM in the Lecture Hall. Anyone who registers between April 28 and May 12 will receive $100 off the total cost. Students who have already signed up don’t need to attend this session—we’ll host a separate meeting later in May focused on fundraising opportunities. Information packages will be available starting Friday, April 25—you can pick one up from Miss Dabrowski’s classrooms or in Staff Workroom 2010. Prepare for pasta, pizzas, and a powerful journey through our Catholic heritage!
