PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
LENTEN PRAYER
Loving Father,
So many times I turn away
from you
and always you welcome me
back.
Your mercy and love gives me
confidence.
Thank you for the invitation to
share, fast and pray so that you
can form a new heart within me.
Your powerful compassion for
my weaknesses leads me to ask
for mercy
and await with great hope the
Easter joy you share with us.
AMEN
Now that we are well into our Lenten journey,
we have probably come face-to-face with our
human frailties more than once. Perhaps the
Lenten promises that we committed to so
enthusiastically on Ash Wednesday have begun
to feel a little too much like hard work!
However, as we strive to be faithful to our
Lenten observances of fasting, prayer and
almsgiving we trust that our surrender will lead
us to rely less on ourselves and more on God.
Our Catholic schools provide our students with
the privileged opportunity to pause and pray
each day. As we move through the rhythms of
the liturgical seasons, we mark each season with
community prayer and changes in sacred décor
throughout the school. During Lent we gather to
celebrate Ash Wednesday services, Stations of
the Cross, and other penitential observances of
the Lenten Season.
We raise funds for
ShareLife through our Spirit Week fund-raising
efforts and our teachers focus on the Paschal
Mystery in daily religion lessons. This month,
we also model and teach the Virtue of Kindness.
We rely on the generous support of home and
parish to assist us in the sacred work of
educating our students to be conformed to the
ways of the Gospel rather than the ways of the
world. Together, we pray that this Lenten
Season will bear good fruit in all of our lives.
Wendy Bodsworth
FAITH
As brothers and sister who share one Holy
Spirit, we are all valuable to God. We all
deserve to be shown concern for our welfare and
our feelings. We have all been given the fruit of
the Spirit called kindness.
Kindness can only be seen through actions. It‟s
not enough to say I will be kind or I am kind.
We must show that we are kind by our words
and our actions.
Through prayer and concentration, we can get
better at showing kindness to everyone we meet.
Embracing the Lenten Spirit
March’s Virtue
~Kindness
This month we will celebrate the virtue of
kindness.
God has given us the gifts of friends and
companions to keep us company and to help us
out along the way.
Every person in our lives carries the Spirit of
God – and so every person is our brother or
sister through Jesus Christ.
Lent offers us a very special opportunity to
grow in our relationship with God and
to deepen our commitment to a way of
life, rooted in our baptism. During the
Lenten season the Church invites us to a
“change of heart.” This is a season that we can
commit ourselves to being more reflective. We
can make a point of being more observant and
more attentive to the beauty of the world, to
nuances in our relationships and to the depths
of our experiences. We can respond to the call
to pray, fast and exercise authentic Christian
generosity in the routine actions of our lives.
Lent is a real chance to learn that the religious
practice of fasting is not about “losing weight”
or “getting in shape” but about becoming more
alert. Anyone who has tried to diet knows that
something changes in us when we try to avoid
eating. The monks in the desert, centuries ago,
discovered that fasting caused a tremendous
boost to their consciousness. Not only did their
bodies go on “alert” but their whole person
seemed to be in a more heightened state of
attention. The whole purpose of fasting was to
aid prayer, to make it easier to listen to God
more openly.
During the season of Lent, the Church also
calls us to practice generosity. Generosity is
not simply giving our discarded clothes where
poor people might benefit from them, or giving
a cash donation to ShareLife. While these are
valuable practices, generosity is more about an
attitude. It is a sense that no matter how much
we have, all that we have is a gift from God, to
be used in service. It means that sharing with
others is a priority for us. That is quite
different from assessing all of our own needs
first, and then giving away what is left over.
This kind of self-sacrificing generosity places
us in solidarity with the poor. It also joins us
with Jesus, who gave himself completely for
us.
With renewed focus on self-denial and charity,
our hearts and minds are receptive to pray
fervently and more often. As parents and
teachers it is our role to teach and model these
Lenten observances of prayer, fasting and
almsgiving to our children.
Ash Wednesday Service
The school community gathered
for Ash Wednesday observances.
Each person received the sign of
faith on the forehead with ashes
and through prayer, Scripture and
song, we reflected on how we could support one
another in making Lent more meaningful. Each
person was challenged to “turn away from sin
and believe in the gospel” and to pledge to take
on at least one act of prayer, fasting and giving
alms.
First Reconciliation Service
On Saturday March 3rd many of our Grade 2
children celebrated the Sacrament of
Reconciliation for the first time. The children
entered the church carrying a banner with each
child‟s name on a lamb, singing “I will follow
the Good Shepherd.” After reading Scripture,
praying and listening to Father Jan‟s homily
about the transformation of Zaccheus, the tax
collector, the children participated in a
communal examination of conscience followed
by individual confessions. Special thanks to all
parents for their commitment to the faith and for
their heartfelt participation in working with the
teachers to prepare the children. Enormous
thanks to Mrs. Prlic, Ms. Tersigni and Mrs.
Cotic for their missionary zeal in working with
our children. The children truly experienced the
love and mercy of God throughout their
formation process. As always, we are deeply
grateful to Father Jan for his child-friendly
homilies, and the warmth and kindness that he
expressed to each and every child. We are truly
blessed!

EQAO‟s provincial testing
program was established
in large part because parents and the public demanded more accountability and called for an
objective measurement of student learning and
achievement. Today, in an economic climate
that calls for even greater transparency in the
operation of public services, it is fundamental
that reliable instruments be in place to measure
the effectiveness of those services. In this context, the value of Ontario‟s provincial testing
program resonates even more strongly.
It is against this backdrop that EQAO is releasing a new edition of The Power of Ontario’s
Provincial Testing Program. This brochure outlines the essentials of Ontario‟s provincial assessments and their many benefits to our education system. The evidence is compelling: from
schools to school boards and the Ministry of
Education, EQAO data are used at every level of
our education system to improve student learning. Assessment results have led to purposeful
actions, which in turn have translated into positive outcomes for thousands of students.
As with any tool, the appropriate use of EQAO‟s
data is key. We continue to advocate for the importance of considering a wide range of
achievement data and oppose the ranking of
schools. EQAO has always been committed to
building capacity for the appropriate use of its
data among education professionals, parents and
the public. Such capacity building is accomplished through transparent public reports that
include a contextual profile of the school community, as well as through outreach activities
such as workshops, and new media resources
available on our Web site.
For more information on the many ways EQAO
data are used to support student learning, please
see The Power of Ontario’s Provincial Testing
Program, posted on the EQAO Web site.
E.Q.A.O. Testing -- Grades Three and Six
A reminder that this year the EQAO assessment
for Grade 3 and Grade 6 students will run from
May 30th to June 10th. We ask that parents of
students in these grades ensure that their
children are in attendance for the full day during
these weeks. Detailed information regarding
testing days will be sent home with students
shortly.

REMINDERS
Kiss and Ride
Parents are reminded to drop off children at the
location where a staff member is on duty at the
end of the kiss and ride lane. Please do not use
the turn-about near the Day Care as a drop off
spot for passengers. This is an extremely
dangerous practice as there are no staff members
on duty and it is a very congested area in the
morning and afternoon. It has also come to our
attention that some drivers are ignoring the signs
prohibiting parent vehicles in the staff parking
lot. There should be no drop offs or pick-ups in
this area.
No cell phones in school
Speak Up Winners
Two groups of students
were the successful
recipients of a total of
$2,000 in Speak Up
grants. The students
put forward proposals
to support student leadership initiatives at
Pauline Vanier School. Congratulations to the
Ministry and board policy prohibits
the use of cell phones in the school
or on school property. The school
has warned students that cell phones
that are visible will be confiscated
and held in the office until the end of the day
(warning) or until parents come to the school to
retrieve the device (repeated offences).
Punctuality
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Students and parents have been reminded on
numerous occasions of the importance of
punctuality. Late arrivals at school continue to
be a chronic problem for many students.
Students who have more than two late arrivals
per month (without reasonable explanation), will
be required serve one or more lunchtime
detentions to pay back the instructional time that
has been lost.
Go Girls!
Hands off policy
Parents are asked to remind their children of the
importance of keeping their hands and feet to
themselves; and of the merits of working
through social problems with “nice words”
instead of their fists. Unfortunately, some
children are under the impression that it‟s okay
to hit if the other person hits them first (arguing
„self defense‟). In actual fact, hitting is never
okay. Self defense is an argument only if it is
impossible to escape the situation. When a
student is being bothered, we expect them to
speak firmly, politely and assertively (by saying
“STOP, I don‟t like that!”) and then to walk or
run away. If the problem persists students are
urged to tell an adult on duty. All adults on duty
wear bright orange vests and carry walkie
talkies. It is important to stress with your child
that name-calling, put-downs and physical
aggression are never appropriate responses,
regardless of the provocation.

Catholic School Heritage
Question: Catholic separate schools had a
second obstacle to their survival. How serious a problem for separate school
boards was the corporation tax issue?
This was very serious. As corporations like the
Ford Motor Co., Inco, the Royal Bank of Canada
and thousands of others came on the scene, and
as public utilities like the Ontario Hydro and the
Canadian National Railway were created, they
could not pay separate school property taxes.
Thus the assessment of urban public school
boards became wealthier and wealthier, while
separate school boards received taxes from only
Catholic home and property owners and from
fully or partially owned small businesses. By the
1920s urban separate school boards were operating with about one-quarter to one-fifth of the
revenues of their urban public school boards.
There were no compensatory government grants.
Question: How did separate school
boards survive without corporation tax
revenues?
ITS COLD OUTSIDE
Parents, please remind your child
of the importance of dressing
appropriately for the cold
weather.
With
temperatures
frequently below freezing, winter
coats, hats, boots, and
mittens
are necessary to ensure warmth, protect against
illness and prevent frostbite. We regularly have
to remind students to put on coats, hats, and
gloves and to do up coat zippers. Your support is
appreciated. We suggest your child has extra
clothing in their backpacks for emergencies.
In accordance with the Dufferin-Peel Catholic
School Board Policy, we will review recess time
outside if temperatures drop below the -20
degree range.
The separate school trustees controlled the
boards‟ budget with more pupils per classroom
than in the public schools, with much lower
wages, with bare-bones programs, with small
playground, and with minimum expenditures for
the erection of new schools. These methods still
could not balance their budgets. The main
contribution for the survival of separate schools
came from the religious teaching Orders. They
supplied principals and teachers and worked for
salaries of $300 to $600 a year when public
school teachers were earning $3000 and up.
There is no question that Ontario‟s Catholics
owe today‟s separate schools to the early
contribution of religious Orders

It’s Cold & Flu Season
With the cold weather coming our way, and the
holidays around the corner, lets do all that we

-Clean your hands! It‟s the most important way
to keep ourselves germ-free!
-Keep your Personal Space -Avoid close
contacts especially with people who are sick.
-Stay home when you are sick.
-Cover your mouth and nose. (Use a tissue
when coughing or sneezing)
-Prevent the flu by getting the annual Flu
Vaccine
-Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
(that‟s how germ will get into our bodies)
-Also, try to stay active and eat lots of healthy
fruits & vegetables. We all need the extra
vitamins to fight the viruses off and stay healthy.
