Link Crew Transition Program
“Strong Links Make Unbreakable Chains” – d’Y Link Crew
Link Crew is a transition program at d’Youville designed to help our new grade 9 students adjust to high school life. Link Crew is made up of a group of dedicated Grade 11 and 12 students from diverse backgrounds in our d’Youville community. Link Leaders are trained to act as positive role models and mentors steering grade 9’s in the right direction.
Amongst hosting Guys Night and Girls Night In, Link Leaders visit Grade 9 classrooms to deliver three acitivties throughout each semester. The visits focus on understanding why people make the choices that they do and how others perceive the choices we make. Leaders facilitate discussions to help grade 9’s understand the importance of using perception when making choices in school and in life. Students also receive information on which resources are available around the school in order to assist in their success in grade 9.
To help Grade 9’s prepare for their first set of high school exams, Link Leaders organize “Cocoa and Cram” - a study session designed to help ease the stress and anxiety of January exams. Students work closely with Link Leaders, having their questions answered and enjoy hot chocolate and snacks. A similar event "Lemonade and Learn" also runs in June.
Link leaders are also paired with grade 9 students as a part of our Peer-Mentorship Program. This program provides many grade 9 students the guidance and one-on-one support in order to be successful; Link Leaders work to develop a strong rapport with their protégé and work very collaboratively with staff to ensure development and growth.
In November, Link Crew hosts the Annual “A Day in the Life”. All grade 8 students from our feeder schools came to d’Y for the day while the current grade 9s participate in Take your kid to work day out of the school. Each grade 8 student followed the schedule of a grade 9 student with the guidance and support of our Link Leaders and grade 9 teachers throughout the day. Our grade 9 teachers do a fantastic job at giving the students a glimpse of what to expect in the subject area, as well as indicators to assist the students with choosing the appropriate level for their success in high school.
Once again, we will be offering a Link Crew Course for grade 11 students next year! Current grade 10 students who are interested in being Link Leaders for the next school year must select LEADRE on their registration and course selection submission to be considered for an interview. Please see any of the Link Crew Coordinators if you have any questions.
Special thanks to the grade 9 teachers who volunteered their time to provide support to the program and to the leaders. Thank you to Mr. Greco and the Administration Team for always supporting our endeavors to build successful young individuals.

2014-15 What a Year!!!
St. Marguerite d'YOUVILLE achieves GOLD for 4th straight year!!!!
JANUARY 2015
Green Force/Eco Team
St. Marguerite d’Youville S.S.
· The month of January shifts its focus towards the Eco Review deadline (January 31) and our commitment to address all of the criteria of certification.
· Our goal for Platinum certification involves among other things; visible evidence beyond our school walls, an energy conservation plan (getting students to understand it, etc.), lesson plans that have already been done from every department, and School-wide Biodiversity which exist on our grounds, etc.
· We continue to promote the Green Days of the Week, (Mondays are WASTE LESS LUNCHES, Tuesdays are RECYCLING DAYS, Wednesdays are WATER BOTTLE WEDNESDAYS, Thursdays are NATURAL LIGHT DAYS, Fridays are FUN FACT FRIDAY. (We would like students to work towards bringing these days to life with either small skits that are shown on dYTV in an in-class drama production)
· We are also in the planning stages of some upcoming events like; BUY NOTHING DAY, THE GREAT GULP, NATIONAL SWEATER DAY, FEEDER SCHOOL PRESENTATION in the SPRING and EARTH WEEK.
· We are also updating our Eco Schools page on the school website.
· Green Force and the Eco Team continue to invite teachers to submit their eco lessons for certification. WE NEED 2 more!!! (Thank-you to Mr. McGuire, Mr. Roach, Mr. Finaldi, Mr. Ciummelli, Ms. Iannuzziello). If there is anybody who has done an Eco lesson around areas of Biodiversity, Energy Conservation or Waste Management, please let me know.
· Students in Michael Finaldi’s class have been working on designs and submissions for a potential St. Marguerite d’Youville Outdoor Sacred Space. Four groups have produced, presented and submitted designs. They are phenomenal!!! Students will be developing a questionnaire to see of staff would even entertain the possibility of taking their classes for an outdoor lesson.
· Green Force students will begin to further our discussion of a potential outdoor sacred space/classroom for the future. We want to collate resources and activities that teachers could do when they take their classes outside. The focus is around being one with nature, even if an actual outdoor sacred space does not exist as of yet. Science classes, geography classes, religion classes will be the main audience for this Green Force’s initiative. This could include Green Force visiting classes and/or teachers to promote the use of the outdoor space, coming up with questions to see if staff will actually use the space or even providing resources to department heads for them to pass on to their teachers as potential lessons.

They were even celebrated as Green Students of the Month. They were the originators of recycling here at d'Youville, ordering the bins and carts from the Region of Peel and our Eco GOLD certification would not have been possible without them.
And the entire staff for their ongoing support, ideas and commitment to the cause. Well done d’Y and let’s make it three years in a row in 2013-14!!!

As part of our ongoing commitment to reducing waste and raising awareness on environmental issues, (uncluding the use of plastic water bottles), we have installed a new glass filler at the water fountain just outside of the phys.ed office.
We encourage staff and students to use stainless steel containers or reusable bottles at this location.
Our Eco Committee will launch an aggressive marketing campaign in September to promote the use of this water fountain. Hopefully, more of them could be installed next year throughout the school.
So on Friday, at the start of period 4, for one hour we participated in our own "d'Y Earth Hour".
The EcoSchool Team asked that ALL CLASSROOMS shut off all lights/computers/TVs etc. in your classrooms during this time to help support and encourage students to do the same tomorrow. Teachers that are off during period 4 are asked to shut off lights and computers in their offices.
Also, the entire MATRIX and portions of the Cafeteria went DARK!!!!!!
Together we can raise awareness and make a change.
“Together, we can all turn the inspiration
of one hour, into the actions of every hour…”
The current school year continues to promote a DAILY FOCUS from now until June 2013...

Prayer for the Environmental Common Good
By: Jane Deren
As we breathe the very air which sustains us,
We remember your love, God,
which gives us life.
Fill us with your compassion for Creation.
Empty us of apathy, selfishness and fear,
of all pessimism and hesitation.
Breathe into us solidarity
with all who suffer now
and the future generations who will suffer
because of our environmental irresponsibility.
Move us into action
to save our earth
and to build your sustainable Kingdom.
Amen.

Fragile earth
God by whom our fragile earth is blessed,
make us servants of your creation,
respecting and protecting all that you have made.
Teach us the joy of field and flower,
the splendour of forest and tree,
the grandeur of ocean and river.
Make us yearn for a world where all may flourish.
Show us how to walk gently on the earth and
hold all in trust for future generations.
Amen.

2010-11...WHAT A YEAR!!!
On the Road to Gold – d’Y becoming an Eco-School
During this school year a committee of teachers, students, and administrators have been brought together to develop an eco-schools program in St. Marguerite d’Youville. The Eco-schools program is recognized throughout the province of Ontario. The program focuses on elementary and high schools so that they may become more environmentally friendly. Over the last few years d’Youville has been working hard to lower our ecological footprint and contribute to a healthier environment. With the implementation of the eco-school program, d’Youville is taking a big step to reach our goal of becoming an eco-school.
Since September 2010 the eco-schools committee has been working diligently to devise an action plan to educate students about the environment, to minimize waste, conserve energy, and how to make the school greener. The team has been meeting monthly and have come up with creative strategies to cover these four strands.
We have been planning and have started to implement the following actions:
Energy Conservation
· Reminders in each classroom to turn off lights, monitors, and televisions when not in use
· Reminders to pull the window blinds down at the end of the school day
· Install motion sensors to control lights in all change rooms
· Replace older motion sensors
· Install energy efficient light bulbs in various areas of the school
· Reminders to turn lights off during DYTV episodes
· Begin a weekly Earth Hour in February
Waste Management
· Collect GOOS “Good On One Side” paper in each classroom
· Continue with waste audits to educate recycling expectations
· Recycle photocopier toner bottles
· Initiate a “waste free” lunch
· Increase electronic communication to parents and the community
Committee members will monitor the value of these steps by collecting data to ensure that our school in achieving significant improvement in working toward an eco-friendly environment.
At the end of the school year, d’Youville will take part in an environmental audit. This audit is run by the School Board and our school will be assessed based on the creative action plan and the implementation of the plan throughout the school year. At the end of the audit the school can be given a bronze, silver, or gold certification based on our success. Although this year is d’Youville’s first year participating in this program, our goal is to achieve the gold certification. The d’Youville community has always strived to be the best in all of its endeavours so it is no surprise that we are taking the initiative to go for GOLD! With the support of the school community, we are confident that this challenging task can be met.
After achieving our goal for gold we at d’Youville hope to continue earning the gold certification in up-coming years, in hopes of becoming a consistent gold certified eco-school. The d’Youville students are encouraged to listen for announcements and tune into DYTV to be informed about the new eco-school program. We will need plenty of commitment from everyone in our community so get ready and goodluck!
On Friday March 25, 2011, the d'Youville community celebrated this year's earth hour by turning off the lights during our prayer and Earth Hour promotion. Classrooms and hallways went dark for 5 minutes as we vowed to honour our planet earth. Thank-you to the community of d'Y and the Eco Team for our ongoing dedication to our ECO program!!!

Sciences are For Everyone
The study of sciences is something that anyone can do. It simply requires interest and an inquisitive nature. Humans are naturally inquisitive about the world around them. Chemistry, physics and biology are disciplines of science which attempt to explain the world around us. Scientists from around the world have made wonderful contributions to our body of knowledge in the disciplines of science. Names such as Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Charles Darwin are well-recognized. But what about Subramanyan Chandrasekhar? Or Rosalind Franklin? Or how about Ahmed Zewail? Each of these scientists have made significant contributions to the fields of astrophysics, biology and chemistry, respectively.
The teachers of sciences at d’Youville strive to foster a sense of ethnic and gender inclusiveness in our classes by making students aware that they can all contribute to the sciences no matter their background, culture, gender or abilities.
A Natural Curiosity
People use the scientific method in their everyday lives without being aware of it. It is a natural method of problem solving that can be used as a powerful tool in the sciences. Whether you are trying to figure out why the lights are off in your house, or whether you are trying to elucidate the biosynthesis pathway of a cellular metabolic product, the process is basically the same. Whether students go further in the world of science or not, these skills give them tools to be more critical and analytical in their daily lives.
A goal of the teachers of sciences at d’Youville is to help our students realize that they are already scientists, and to help them formalize their skills in this area by asking questions about the world around them, to propose hypotheses, and to design methods to test their hypotheses.
In Awe of God’s Creation
There has never been a time like the present in the world of science. Classical civilizations, aboriginal populations, even Newton and Einstein did not have the technological abilities available to us today. We have new ways of seeing the universe and all that is in it. About 13.7 billion years ago, the universe in a great flash, flared forth. Only now is the universe, in the form of a human, able to reflect on itself. Only recently have we developed the technology that allows us to see the light from that first flash of the universe’s existence. We now have a profoundly different understanding of our place in the universe as humans. This new situation calls for a new narrative. A new story of the universe. No longer can we view the earth as having been created with humans and other life placed upon it. Rather, we now understand that all life has come from the earth itself. The universe has taken 13.7 billion years to express itself in the wonderfully rich variety of life forms we see on the Earth today. In the words of Thomas Berry, “The planet Earth, once molten rock, now sings opera.” Humans have an incredible responsibility to care for this living system that we are a part of.
It is the goal of the department to instill a sense of stewardship of the earth in our students. With the environmental issues facing us today, it is hoped that students will carry this responsibility through their lives as they make choices and decisions that affect the future of the Earth.
“Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.”
~ Albert Einstein

Performing and Visual Arts at d'Youville
The arts are an important part of the St. Marguerite d’Youville school curriculum. Our programmes not only allow our students to develop their talents, technical and critical skills in preparation for post-secondary studies and careers, but they also teach students to integrate the arts into their lives beyond high school. Our goal is to help students to have a clear understanding of the wide variety of techniques and skills central to specific branches of the arts. By developing these proficiencies, and supplementing them with theory, criticism and history, we ensure that our graduates will be able to pursue their professional goals or amateur interests.

Link Crew Transition Program
“Strong Links Make Unbreakable Chains” – d’Y Link Crew
Link Crew is a transition program at d’Youville designed to help our new grade 9 students adjust to high school life. Link Crew is made up of a group of dedicated Grade 11 and 12 students from diverse backgrounds in our d’Youville community. Link Leaders are trained to act as positive role models and mentors steering grade 9’s in the right direction.
Amongst hosting Guys Night and Girls Night In, Link Leaders visit Grade 9 classrooms to deliver three acitivties throughout each semester. The visits focus on understanding why people make the choices that they do and how others perceive the choices we make. Leaders facilitate discussions to help grade 9’s understand the importance of using perception when making choices in school and in life. Students also receive information on which resources are available around the school in order to assist in their success in grade 9.
To help Grade 9’s prepare for their first set of high school exams, Link Leaders organize “Cocoa and Cram” - a study session designed to help ease the stress and anxiety of January exams. Students work closely with Link Leaders, having their questions answered and enjoy hot chocolate and snacks. A similar event "Lemonade and Learn" also runs in June.
Link leaders are also paired with grade 9 students as a part of our Peer-Mentorship Program. This program provides many grade 9 students the guidance and one-on-one support in order to be successful; Link Leaders work to develop a strong rapport with their protégé and work very collaboratively with staff to ensure development and growth.
In November, Link Crew hosts the Annual “A Day in the Life”. All grade 8 students from our feeder schools came to d’Y for the day while the current grade 9s participate in Take your kid to work day out of the school. Each grade 8 student followed the schedule of a grade 9 student with the guidance and support of our Link Leaders and grade 9 teachers throughout the day. Our grade 9 teachers do a fantastic job at giving the students a glimpse of what to expect in the subject area, as well as indicators to assist the students with choosing the appropriate level for their success in high school.
Once again, we will be offering a Link Crew Course for grade 11 students next year! Current grade 10 students who are interested in being Link Leaders for the next school year must select LEADRE on their registration and course selection submission to be considered for an interview. Please see any of the Link Crew Coordinators if you have any questions.
Special thanks to the grade 9 teachers who volunteered their time to provide support to the program and to the leaders. Thank you to Mr. Greco and the Administration Team for always supporting our endeavors to build successful young individuals.

2014-15 What a Year!!!
St. Marguerite d'YOUVILLE achieves GOLD for 4th straight year!!!!
JANUARY 2015
Green Force/Eco Team
St. Marguerite d’Youville S.S.
· The month of January shifts its focus towards the Eco Review deadline (January 31) and our commitment to address all of the criteria of certification.
· Our goal for Platinum certification involves among other things; visible evidence beyond our school walls, an energy conservation plan (getting students to understand it, etc.), lesson plans that have already been done from every department, and School-wide Biodiversity which exist on our grounds, etc.
· We continue to promote the Green Days of the Week, (Mondays are WASTE LESS LUNCHES, Tuesdays are RECYCLING DAYS, Wednesdays are WATER BOTTLE WEDNESDAYS, Thursdays are NATURAL LIGHT DAYS, Fridays are FUN FACT FRIDAY. (We would like students to work towards bringing these days to life with either small skits that are shown on dYTV in an in-class drama production)
· We are also in the planning stages of some upcoming events like; BUY NOTHING DAY, THE GREAT GULP, NATIONAL SWEATER DAY, FEEDER SCHOOL PRESENTATION in the SPRING and EARTH WEEK.
· We are also updating our Eco Schools page on the school website.
· Green Force and the Eco Team continue to invite teachers to submit their eco lessons for certification. WE NEED 2 more!!! (Thank-you to Mr. McGuire, Mr. Roach, Mr. Finaldi, Mr. Ciummelli, Ms. Iannuzziello). If there is anybody who has done an Eco lesson around areas of Biodiversity, Energy Conservation or Waste Management, please let me know.
· Students in Michael Finaldi’s class have been working on designs and submissions for a potential St. Marguerite d’Youville Outdoor Sacred Space. Four groups have produced, presented and submitted designs. They are phenomenal!!! Students will be developing a questionnaire to see of staff would even entertain the possibility of taking their classes for an outdoor lesson.
· Green Force students will begin to further our discussion of a potential outdoor sacred space/classroom for the future. We want to collate resources and activities that teachers could do when they take their classes outside. The focus is around being one with nature, even if an actual outdoor sacred space does not exist as of yet. Science classes, geography classes, religion classes will be the main audience for this Green Force’s initiative. This could include Green Force visiting classes and/or teachers to promote the use of the outdoor space, coming up with questions to see if staff will actually use the space or even providing resources to department heads for them to pass on to their teachers as potential lessons.

They were even celebrated as Green Students of the Month. They were the originators of recycling here at d'Youville, ordering the bins and carts from the Region of Peel and our Eco GOLD certification would not have been possible without them.
And the entire staff for their ongoing support, ideas and commitment to the cause. Well done d’Y and let’s make it three years in a row in 2013-14!!!
The 2012-13 School Year at d'Youville....
THE ROAD TO GOLD. WHAT HAS d'YOUVILLE DONE THIS YEAR??? SCHOOL GREENING (CHECK), ECO LESSON PLANS (CHECK), GREEN STUDENTS OF THE MONTH (CHECK), UPDATED WEBSITE (CHECK), ECO THEMED DAYS (CHECK), AN EXTENSIVE RECYLCING PROGRAM (CHECK), WASTE REDUCTION (CHECK), G.O.O.S.E. PAPER (CHECK), NEW RECYLCERS IN THE CAFETERIA (CHECK), A NEW WATER BOTTLE RE-FILL FAUCET FOR STUDENTS (CHECK), A STRONG ECO COMMITTEE (CHECK), A STRONG GREEN FORCE TEAM (CHECK), RECOGNITION FROM THE WORLD WILDLIFE FUND (CHECK), A DEDICATED STAFF AND STUDENT BODY(CHECK), A REDUCED ECOLOGICAL PAWPRINT!!!!

As part of our ongoing commitment to reducing waste and raising awareness on environmental issues, (uncluding the use of plastic water bottles), we have installed a new glass filler at the water fountain just outside of the phys.ed office.
We encourage staff and students to use stainless steel containers or reusable bottles at this location.
Our Eco Committee will launch an aggressive marketing campaign in September to promote the use of this water fountain. Hopefully, more of them could be installed next year throughout the school.
So on Friday, at the start of period 4, for one hour we participated in our own "d'Y Earth Hour".
The EcoSchool Team asked that ALL CLASSROOMS shut off all lights/computers/TVs etc. in your classrooms during this time to help support and encourage students to do the same tomorrow. Teachers that are off during period 4 are asked to shut off lights and computers in their offices.
Also, the entire MATRIX and portions of the Cafeteria went DARK!!!!!!
Together we can raise awareness and make a change.
“Together, we can all turn the inspiration
of one hour, into the actions of every hour…”
The current school year continues to promote a DAILY FOCUS from now until June 2013...

As we breathe the very air which sustains us,
We remember your love, God,
which gives us life.
Fill us with your compassion for Creation.
Empty us of apathy, selfishness and fear,
of all pessimism and hesitation.
Breathe into us solidarity
with all who suffer now
and the future generations who will suffer
because of our environmental irresponsibility.
Move us into action
to save our earth
and to build your sustainable Kingdom.
Amen.

A Final Prayer for Reflection........
Fragile earth
God by whom our fragile earth is blessed,
make us servants of your creation,
respecting and protecting all that you have made.
Teach us the joy of field and flower,
the splendour of forest and tree,
the grandeur of ocean and river.
Make us yearn for a world where all may flourish.
Show us how to walk gently on the earth and
hold all in trust for future generations.
Amen.

2010-11...WHAT A YEAR!!!
On the Road to Gold – d’Y becoming an Eco-School
During this school year a committee of teachers, students, and administrators have been brought together to develop an eco-schools program in St. Marguerite d’Youville. The Eco-schools program is recognized throughout the province of Ontario. The program focuses on elementary and high schools so that they may become more environmentally friendly. Over the last few years d’Youville has been working hard to lower our ecological footprint and contribute to a healthier environment. With the implementation of the eco-school program, d’Youville is taking a big step to reach our goal of becoming an eco-school.
Since September 2010 the eco-schools committee has been working diligently to devise an action plan to educate students about the environment, to minimize waste, conserve energy, and how to make the school greener. The team has been meeting monthly and have come up with creative strategies to cover these four strands.
We have been planning and have started to implement the following actions:
Energy Conservation
· Reminders in each classroom to turn off lights, monitors, and televisions when not in use
· Reminders to pull the window blinds down at the end of the school day
· Install motion sensors to control lights in all change rooms
· Replace older motion sensors
· Install energy efficient light bulbs in various areas of the school
· Reminders to turn lights off during DYTV episodes
· Begin a weekly Earth Hour in February
Waste Management
· Collect GOOS “Good On One Side” paper in each classroom
· Continue with waste audits to educate recycling expectations
· Recycle photocopier toner bottles
· Initiate a “waste free” lunch
· Increase electronic communication to parents and the community
Committee members will monitor the value of these steps by collecting data to ensure that our school in achieving significant improvement in working toward an eco-friendly environment.
At the end of the school year, d’Youville will take part in an environmental audit. This audit is run by the School Board and our school will be assessed based on the creative action plan and the implementation of the plan throughout the school year. At the end of the audit the school can be given a bronze, silver, or gold certification based on our success. Although this year is d’Youville’s first year participating in this program, our goal is to achieve the gold certification. The d’Youville community has always strived to be the best in all of its endeavours so it is no surprise that we are taking the initiative to go for GOLD! With the support of the school community, we are confident that this challenging task can be met.
After achieving our goal for gold we at d’Youville hope to continue earning the gold certification in up-coming years, in hopes of becoming a consistent gold certified eco-school. The d’Youville students are encouraged to listen for announcements and tune into DYTV to be informed about the new eco-school program. We will need plenty of commitment from everyone in our community so get ready and goodluck!
On Friday March 25, 2011, the d'Youville community celebrated this year's earth hour by turning off the lights during our prayer and Earth Hour promotion. Classrooms and hallways went dark for 5 minutes as we vowed to honour our planet earth. Thank-you to the community of d'Y and the Eco Team for our ongoing dedication to our ECO program!!!

Theology Department
Theology at d'Youville
Through the gift of Religious Education, Catholic schools are blessed with the opportunity to foster and nourish a link between our faith as Catholic Christians and life-long learning. Religious Education empowers young people in their search for truth, and develops skills and attitudes necessary for intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth in changing and often turbulent times. For these reasons, Religious Education is designed to develop knowledge and disciplinary skills, as well as attitudes and values that form our faith as Catholic Christians. In addition, as a Catholic school we are particularly fortunate to be able to welcome and grow with students of many different faiths by living out our own convictions as a distinctive but loving and inclusive community.
Through theological instruction, students are drawn to recognize the fundamental dignity of the human person, to consciously and responsibly form their character, to develop an understanding of ethical norms and social conscience, and to realize the centrality of God in their lives. Students flourish within an environment where subject matter and teaching strategies are age-appropriate and sensitive to the affective and personal dimensions of their lived experiences. Courses are designed to invite students to build a relationship with the person of Jesus Christ by continually deepening their understanding of Sacred Scripture, Church teachings, the sacramental and liturgical life of the faith community, and moral foundations for Christian living and Family Life Education.
Catholic Religious Education seeks to teach not only the doctrines of our faith, but also the wisdom and depth of their meaning within the lives of our students. Through theological instruction, Catholic schools strive not only to mentor young people in their life journey, but to accompany them in their daily struggles. With God's grace we endeavour to plant seeds within them which will blossom as they contribute to the building of God's reign on earth in a more just society.
At St. Marguerite d'Youville, we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the Religious Education of your sons and daughters, and for the support and trust of their families as we share in the formation of their character and faith.
News from Students for Life
Students for Life is comprised of a vibrant group of young people and led by teachers from the Theology Department. At regular after-school meetings they are afforded the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of life issues such as those involving abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, reproductive technologies and the sanctity of the family. In an effort to live what they are learning, our students joined the annual Life Chain held here in Brampton in September. Students and teachers gathered along Main Street to courageously demonstrate the strength of their conviction that life is precious. Following this event, these students prepared a brief report for DYTV News.
Life Chain is an annual event organized by Right to Life groups in Brampton. This year, even more people from Brampton participated in this critical national event. We hope that our presence encourages people to reconsider current Canadian laws which support abortion, and to recognize Christ's presence in every stage of life.
Each March, Students for Life travel to Ottawa to participate in the Annual March for Life with many other representatives from secondary schools in our school board, and thousands of other Canadians. All interested students are welcome to join us in these very critical endeavours.
Theology Department Retreat Days
At St. Marguerite d'Youville Catholic Secondary School we strive to provide a complete and comprehensive Religious Education programme for our students.Theological instruction and pastoring within the classroom contributes to faith formation intellectually and conceptually. Equally important is an annual retreat experience designed to complement and supplement themes presented within the classroom. Participation in this retreat experience is a vital part of the Religious Education programme. Consequently, attendance is compulsory for all grade level retreats held during the school day. An additional optional overnight retreat experience is offered to our grade 12 students in the spring as a culmination of their formation in Catholic Religious Education.

| The sheriff's son, Kellan Turner, is not the golden boy everyone thinks he is, and Romy Grey knows that for a fact.

(48 words) Branded a liar and bullied relentlessly by a group of kids she used to hang out with, Romy's only refuge is the diner where she works outside of town. No one knows her name or her past there; she can finally be anonymous. But when a girl with ties to both Romy and Kellan goes missing after a party, and news of him assaulting another girl in a town close by gets out, Romy must decide whether she wants to fight or carry the burden of knowing more girls could get hurt if she doesn't speak up. Nobody believed her the first time-and they certainly won't now-but the cost of her silence might be more than she can bear. | |

Department of Social Science
Social Science at d'Youville
The Social Science Department at St. Marguerite d’Youville is dedicated to building student centered classrooms that foster the development of knowledge, creative thinking, compassion and the virtues of good citizenship.
The social science curriculum contains a deeply spiritual and social dimension which when informed by the teachings of the Catholic Church enriches it with a deeper and more holistic meaning. Teachers infuse the curriculum with gospel values daily and use their lessons to remind students, “blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the Children of God; and blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”
(Matthew 5: 9-10).
