critical and creative thinking to enhance their learning. Students are given opportunities to research and explore
their own ideas and interests in order to develop a culture of learning that encourages their development as lifelong learners.

Grade 8 students attended a School retreat hosted by St. Roch S.S. to welcome and showcase school programs. We
continued to host transitional meetings for our students entering St. Roch S.S. The Grade 8 students used My
Blueprint to register for secondary school courses. The entire intermediate division will be working with My
Blueprint to develop student created portfolios by June 2016.
