HOLY CROSS December 2015 Catholic Secondary School Principal’s Message November has been a great month. After having visited nine feeder schools to talk to grade 8s, I am pleased to report that the class of 2020 is going to be fantastic. The two Day of the Arts at Holy Cross, November 23 & 24, were very well received by our elementary partner schools. See the banner above (by photographer Sarah SzumlanKASSAA Champion Sr. Girls’ BBall on sen- ski). Guys and Dolls is a wonderful ior night at the Holy Cross gymnasium. accomplishment. I hope you had a chance to see it. We also had two athletic championships to celebrate—Sr. Girls’ Basketball, over rivals RND, and Junior Boys’ football, over Frontenac. Both sweet victories. Boys’ volleyball (both teams top four finishers), girls’ field hockey (finalists), cross country (top 10 EOSSAA finishers) all speak to the quality of our coaching and the efforts and talents of our student-athletes. By press time, the senior boys’ volleyball team, led by Mr. Manion, and the senior girls’ basketball team, under the direction of Mrs. Dixon, will have competed at OFSSA in Windsor. In short, it’s been a great fall season for the arts and sports. As we plan for second semester, I wanted to inform parents and students of a situation: due to high enrolment and two mid-year retirements (Mrs. Dowsley and Mr. Michalski) second semester timetables for many students will have to be updated and potentially adjusted. I delivered this information to School Council on November 11th and at that time your parent representatives on council expressed concerns on behalf of the community about this state of affairs. The work of balancing classes will begin following a review of grade 12 enrolment for semester 2, in December. Please know that our guiding principle is minimizing the disruption to student timetables. Teachers may change, the periods in which courses are offered may change, but courses that students are enrolled in now will not change, unless by request. If you have any concerns, please contact us. As the season of Advent will be upon us by the time this newsletter reaches you, let me take this opportunity to wish you and your family blessings during this very special time of the year. May your December be full of hope and happiness.

If you check the scoreboard, you will see it was a convincing victory, capped by Carter Bailey’s three touchdown MVP performance. Special thanks to Mr. Rick White and our community volunteer coaches Ken Bailey, Mike Jefferies, Johnny Sullivan, John McCombs, Tyler Grant, and David Heroux , as well as our fans who came out to cheer the Crusaders on to victory. This is the fifth straight junior championship for Mr. Hunter and crew which speaks to the quality of the Holy Cross football program. Bullying Prevention Week As part of our Students’ Council response to the challenge of educating students about the impact of bullying behaviours, councilors left positive messages on all student lockers. This reminder- to enjoy our time together here at school, and to know that you are never alone – was timely and important. On the final Friday of Bullying Prevention Week, students and staff were encouraged to accessorize their uniforms with pink, as a visible act of support for those who suffer as a result of bullying behaviours. Students and parents are encouraged to report any and all incidents. Together, we can control the negative impact of bullying in our school community. We just have to work together. 2 We The West Students gather in the Holy Cross gym to record a video message for our Senior Girls’ Basketball and Senior Boys’ Volleyball teams as they travel to Windsor to compete at OFSSA Community Clean Up Every year, in the spring, the students of Holy Cross, led by our Green Team, participate in a community clean up. Students volunteer their time to pick up trash and debris on our property and on the surrounding properties. One of the issues that arises without fail, is garbage along Woodbine Road, discarded as students travel to and from the local restaurants at Bayridge Drive and Princess Street. Other problem areas are the local parks at Lancaster and at Dunham Street along the walking paths. Holy Cross is a Gold Certified Eco school and we do everything we can to control waste on our site. Students are encouraged, while off campus, to follow the same environmentally sound practices they do while here at school. Please be mindful of our neighbours and keep up our neighbourhood clean. Graduation Survey As promised last month, our graduation survey is available for your input. You may use the link below to access it. Please be advised that we are simply gathering information for our graduation committee. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3RX6HSJ ATTENTION PARENTS OF STUDENTS TAKING GRADE 9 MATHEMATICS: EQAO Math Assessments will be written on Tuesday, January 19th and Wednesday, January 20th. Parents are asked to ensure that their children are available to write these Provincial Assessments on these days. Last year, 69% of our students working at the applied level achieved the provincial standard on this assessment. 82% of students working at the academic level achieved the standard. These are excellent results. The ‘Blood Bus’ as it is known, has come to Holy Cross. This program, officially called the Life Bus and popular among high schools, provides transportation for senior students who volunteer to give blood. The bus arrives before lunch, picks up, and then returns students once they are finished at the blood bank. It’s a great cause and complements the One Match program also available at Holy Cross. Thanks to Mackenzie Curran for getting this started and if students and parents are interested, there are dates in the new year, January 7th and February 25th: just sign up in the main office. 3 Contact Us Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School 1085 Woodbine Road, Kingston, Ontario, K7P 2V9 (613) 384-1919 As always, see also www.hctoday.ca for any information you might require about life at Holy Cross.

Mr. Michalski has been a mainstay in our senior religion classrooms for many years. His wisdom and institutional knowledge will be sorely missed by students and staff, yet we also celebrate with him as he moves to this new phase in his life. He joins Mrs. Michele Dowsley, who announced earlier she will be retiring in January. We will miss these two faithful servants of the Holy Cross community. As noted elsewhere in our newsletter, our Senior Girls’ Basketball won KASSAA gold and look forward to the OFSAA championship in Windsor as the 14th seed. Senior Boys’ Volleyball also will be attending the AAA OFSAA championship in Windsor as the 17th seed. The Junior Boys Football captured their 10th KASSAA championship in 12 years, besting the previously undefeated Frontenac Falcons. Kiley Rodrigues and Emily Calder advanced to play in the OFSAA Girls' Golf Festival at the Roseland Golf Course in Windsor. In the 18 hole final, Kiley posted an 82 and finished in 25th place overall. The cross country team congratulates Meaghan Jefferies and Max Taylor for representing Holy Cross so well at OFSAA cross country in Collingwood. Despite the challenging course, both finished in the top 80! In the photo above, Noah Steele signs his letter of commitment to Sam Houston State. Noah will be attending on a full golf scholarship in September and we wish him well. The Badminton season is almost underway. Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles have all been represented well at KASSAA and EOSSA. This year will be no exception! Tryouts will begin the first week of December. Practices are at 7am, a sign up meeting will be held by Mr. D. Roberts in 216. Check the announcements carefully! The Senior Boys’ Basketball team tipped off the season at the Crusader Classic Tournament in the Holy Cross gym. Here, Coach DeMelo instructs the team during a timeout in their victory against E.L. Crossley from Niagara. The Holy Cross Arts Department will present the Katharine Splinter Memorial Christmas Recital on Thursday, December 10 at 7:00pm in the Cafetorium. Performances by the Holy Cross Jazz Ensemble, Gr. 11 Vocal Class, and Holy Cross Symphonic Band will include works by Mackey, Hazo, Morales, and Holsinger. Tickets can be purchased at the door the evening of the recital. There will also be a Silent Auction Fundraiser for the student musicians' April 2016 trip to New York City starting at 6:00pm in the Library. • • Bridges to Community Annual Christmas Poinsettia Sale Update Orders will be delivered on December 9th Thank you for your support of the Holy Cross Bridges Program 4 PASTORAL SERVICES UPDATE The Advent Season has arrived. And with the “Jubilee Year of Mercy” beginning on December 8th, we will be focusing on the “Corporal Works of Mercy” over the coming weeks here at Holy Cross. Each week of Advent will see a different “Work of Mercy” highlighted. This should provide us with a meaningful way to fulfill Pope Francis’ call to share God’s mercy with others during Holy Year. For the first week of Advent we will reflect on “Sheltering the Homeless”. This “Work of Mercy” connects us with our Refugee Sponsorship Campaign which has us partnering with St. Paul the Apostle Parish and our feeder schools to house and support the Maree’s, a refugee family from Syria. We are also raising money to do a House Build in Kingston, Jamaica during our upcoming Mission Trip. For the second week of Advent, we will focus on “Feeding the Hungry” as we raise money to support the St. Vincent de Paul Society’s efforts to help the poor right here in Kingston. And during the third week we will focus on “Clothing the Naked” as our school collects coats and other items to give to the Hotel Dieu Hospital’s “Christmas Coat Collection”. On December 3rd our students will gather by grade level in the Library to celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation. On December 10th we will celebrate our Advent School Mass. And throughout December we will continue to take students to visit local retirement homes, hospitals, and one of our local soup kitchens to bring joy to those in need around us. Let’s make this Advent Season a wonderful experience of God’s peace through the “Corporal Works of Mercy”. And the coming year a meaningful celebration of God’s love by entering fully into this Holy Year of Mercy. May the peace and joy of God be with you this Advent Season. Mr. Chris Forster, Chaplaincy Leader Eco-Corner School wide Composting Program including Vermi-composting November saw the start of a new composting program at Holy Cross on a huge scale. From now until Christmas team members will collect organic, 'appropriate compostable' waste from the students eating lunch in the hallways. Garbage bins in the cafeteria will be re-labelled to encourage proper disposal of organic waste and the staffroom, workrooms and classrooms will be equipped with containers to collect waste if food preparation occurs there. We are also in contact with the City of Kingston and are arranging curb-side pickup to start over the winter months. In the meantime a vermi-composter has been initiated and the worms are doing the composting for us and will prepare excellent fertilized soil which we can use in the Holy Cross garden in the spring. Pictured with the Green Team's 'Composting' members is the newest addition to the parking lot - an ALL Electric car, a BMW's i3, property of the Green Team moderator, Mrs. Hulse. Check it out as it travels around Kingston - it’s the way of the future! Below is a group of Crusaders at the Robinson Farm completing a community outreach project harvesting potatoes.

TechFest 2015 A Great Success With over 150 attendees, supported by an army of volunteers, including many senior students from Holy Cross, the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board presented TechFest 2015 at Holy Cross on November 14th.
