learners. We continue to host virtue assemblies, honor student voice, support Youth Faith Ambassador and focus
on stewardship. We continue to enhance our Girls/ Boys Day events, promote the "Win It's" Program and the "We
Can Make a Difference" campaign where students collect 20 hours of community service. Our school team
collaborates closely with our parish and community partners and we continue to host the Rosary of Apostolate
program, coordinate visits with our parish priest and coordinate special events with our community officers.

inquiry with a focus on communication has honored student voice. Teachers continue to co-create anchor charts
and success criteria with students. Knowledge-building circles have been introduced in classrooms to support 21st
century learning and to provide students with opportunities for discourse in order to reflect on their own thinking
and the thinking of others. This practice has been supportive of students being able to make deeper connections
and internalize a deeper understanding. Lester B. Pearson Catholic School will continue to build collaborative
practices through inquiry with the use of technology and a focus on the Catholic Graduate Expectations.
