Student Exchange Program: A Global Life Lesson
That global diversity is what makes our Exchange Program one of the most unique in the world. What adds to the appeal is that when our students travel to another country, or an exchange student travels to Canada, they stay with another Sacred Heart family, one which has been drawn to the same mission, creating a powerful, loving continuum for any student leaving home.
The Best Laid Plans…An Advent Message
If I have come to depend on my phone for one thing more than any other, it would be the calendar app. The days when the phone gets forgotten on the kitchen counter are frustrating because I never quite feel on top of my day, or the least bit confident that I haven’t missed some commitment or other.
Just Like Team Canada, We Need A Great Strategy
In team sports, success can be equated with good strategy. As the World Cup got underway rest assured that Team Canada spent hours on the practice pitch running through a full playbook of specific techniques and tactics — their strategy. Each player strives to improve their individual skills but more importantly, it’s how those individuals come together as a team using their strategy that will have the most impact.
How Does Our Garden Grow?
Outdoors, the sky is blue, the air is clear, and the trees are on fire with red, orange, and yellow leaves. Fall is in full swing, and that means a season of abundance. If you head out of the city there are fields full of pumpkins and trees full of apples, ripe and ready for picking. All over the province, our farmers’ markets are bursting with all kinds of fresh produce, the result of long hours of sunlight and even longer hours of hard work by farmers and farm workers.

“To view Sacred Heart as only a “school” is to sell it short. Sacred Heart is family. It is a place where each individual, no matter their role, works and grows together.”
