Our choir is entering the Festival of Performing Arts Provincials
The Assumption school choir began practising on Friday mornings after our weekly school liturgies. As well as helping to support the singing in the church during the liturgies, the choir also attends the yearly music festival in Powell River sponsored by the Rotary Club.
This year our mixed choir from grades 3 to 8 did exceptionally well at the festival. We received a gold classification, the catagory trophy, and a provincial recommendation by the adjudicator Fabiana Katz. The choir sang two pieces: Bridge Over Troubled Water/Lean On Me and Dona Nobis Pacem/One More Step. The adjudicator loved the arrangements, choice of songs, and the keys the children sang in. She was also impressed at how well the choir took direction when Miss Katz gave them some performance pointers.
We recorded a version of our performances to be sent for adjudication by the provincial adjudicators and hope to hear from them before the end of the school year. Mr. BaronMusic Teacher and Choir Director
Music to follow soon!! Please check again!!

FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN offered in September 2010We are very excited to be able to offer full-day Kindergarten in September 2010. Our Kindergarten teacher, Miss Lisa Marie Labossiere, has over 20 years of experience - most of it in teaching but also as a Kinesiologist and Preschool Supervisor. She also holds a Special Education and a Physical Education Specialist degree. She is an energetic, warm, team-oriented person with the ability to work co-operatively and add positively to the classroom environment.
Our Kindergarten program is designed to help each child reach his or her full potential. We strive to provide constructive and consistent learning experiences that help build each child's confidence, encourage them to continue to see learning as both enjoyable and useful, and provide a strong foundation for their future intellectual, physical, emotional, creative, spiritual, and social development. Children learn through integrated activities, play, and inquiry-based activities. In each child, the intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and creative development are interrelated. In order to address all dimenisons of the child, the Kindergarten program also includes opportunities for self-expression and self-discovery through music, drama, and language activities, as well as for co-operative activities with peers. Necessary adaptations and/or modifications are and will be made for children with special needs. Strengths and needs as well as an Action Plan are discussed with a team of key individuals including parents, teachers, principal, Learning Assistance teacher, Speech-Language Pathologist, physiotherapist, and any other para-professionals involved with the child. |
