DAY TO DAY

Congratulations to the RHS Junior Improv team for the fantastic performance at the Regional tournament on Friday, February 24.

 

 

On Feb. 15, Ms. Lorenz, Ms. Adams, Ms. Minty, Ms. Charbonneau and many staff members presented a cheque of $15,028 to the Children's Wish Foundation!! None of this would have been possible without the hard work of the students and staff and community who got involved. Our wish child, Kiara, will be able to go on her dream trip to Hawaii as a result!

 

On February 9th, 2017, Coach Andy Walker and Coach Ryan Boutara, of ‘The RHS Soccer Concentration Program’, hosted a ‘Ted Talk style’ event called ‘Maximizing Learning for Student-Athletes by Knowing How the Brain Works’. Michael Quinn, Science and Technology Consultant at SWLSB gave a talk called ‘The Soccer (Football) Brain: A User Manual’. Claudie Lebel, History and French teacher at RHS, gave a talk called ‘Learning to Learn’. Students learned ways in which neuroscience itself manifests on the soccer field, including ‘the old vs. the new brain’, ‘sleep hygiene’, ‘exercise and the brain’, ‘attention and awareness’, ‘the effects of stress on the brain’, ‘best and worst times for learning’, ‘neuroplasticity’, and ‘visualization and mental rehearsal’.  Students also learned about mnemonics, and the techniques of ‘chunking’, the role of music and rhythm in memory, use of acronyms, the effects of multitasking through devices, and organizational tools’

 

Meet the RHS Quebec Association Honor Band!

 

Ms. Delorme`s WOTP students recently solicited donations, raised funds through TCBY sales and assembled 200 Birthing Kits! The kits were distributed in Haiti where many mothers for reasons of isolation, cultural choice or poor transportation often give birth at home. Birthing Kits give mothers the resources to reduce infection and the incidence of infant and maternal mortality.

   

Flag Football tryouts were a huge success with an amazing turnout of 28 girls!

 

 

.McCaig students paid RHS a visit and received a lesson in Physics from Ms. Venditti and her students!

 

SUICIDE PREVENTION WEEK

January 30, 2017

The Régie intermunicipale de police Therese-de-Blainville came to RHS and participated in an activity titled "the tree of life" an activity who's purpose is to provide a safety net among young people and referring them to resources. Thank you to everyone who participated.

 

A HUGE thank you to Decarie Motors, and Mr. George Niphakis, husband of Mrs. Wanda Niphakis Student Supervisor, for hosting our WOTP students on January 13!  The kids spent the day visiting the new state-of-the-art facility for Bentley and Aston Montreal, while learning about great cars and getting inspired.  At the end of their visit, they were spoiled with surprises from Bentley and Aston Martin!

 

RHS' Woodworking students hard at work!

 

WE Day combines the energy of a live concert with the inspiration of incredible stories of leadership and change. This stadium-sized event—held in 14 cities in the US, Canada and the UK—brings together world-renowned speakers and performers with tens of thousands of youth to celebrate the power of service. This year, twenty-nine RHS students along with Mr. Palmarella, Ms. Chang and Ms. Damoulianos spent the day in Ottawa participating in the Free the Children Event - WE Day!

 

More WE-DAY news! Mr. Sorg and his students visited the Theatre St-Denis for an unparalleled event that brought together world-renowned speakers, A-list performers, and tens of thousands of youth and celebrated a year of action that transformed communities and changed lives.

 

During the last week of January, a bright group of Sec. 1 students welcomed Maître Gretchen Timmins into their class to take part in a mock criminal trial. In the scenario, a teacher had “borrowed” the laptop of a colleague, only to find herself taken to court for theft. While the jury found her guilty, she was grateful that the (very wise) judge overturned the ruling.  Throughout the workshop, students learned the differences between civil and criminal trials, the roles of lawyers, and the training that goes into working in this field. They remained highly engaged and spoke very positively of the experience.

 

 

The Physics students have been hard at work this Fall starting in September with the Rooftop experiment!
