Grade 10 History students from @StPiusXOCSB went to visit some of our neighbours on Falaise Road to deliver postcards on the history of the town of Falaise in WWII and the Veterans Land Act and how they resulted in the creation of the Carleton Heights neighbourhood.

It’s always great to meet with our classmates at BSA and have time to enjoy each others company. Like yesterday when we were able to Be Community and play musical chairs and telephone.

Thank you to everyone who made last week’s Fashion Show a success at @StPiusXOCSB for Catholic Education Week. It was an incredible effort from over 100 student volunteers and participants. Cant wait for next year. @ItsMissBennett @stpiusxbsa

Grade 10s had a great day at the @CanWarMuseum with their History classes reflecting on our learning over the semester so far. Great to see our @StPiusXOCSB students discussing the importance of understanding history at the museum and National Holocaust Monument

As part of our efforts to showcase Black Excellence this Black Hostory Month we displayed some art from Black artists at @StPiusXOCSB today. Hope everyone enjoyed!

[Greg Lawson @glaws075]

Such a great opportunity for @StPiusXOCSB students today to learn more about Black History through a Canadian lens and more underrepresented history at the @CanMusHistory

[Greg Lawson @glaws075]

Today students from @StPiusXOCSB learned about Black History at the @CanMusHistory and the history of Black contributions to Hockey. Making great connections between the past and present.

Our students were able to spend part of their snowy Thursday putting up this Periodic Table of Black Canadians providing representation to those who find they are not always fully seen in the curriculum. Can’t wait to have Grade 10 History @StPiusXOCSB explore this next semester

To our @OttCatholicSB students & staff whose loved ones are impacted by hurricane Melissa, our thoughts & prayers are with you. Think about, how you can be a “living bridge” during this time of devastation & need. #ocsbBeWell #ocsbBuildingBridges #HurricaneMelissa @ocsbequity

Was great learning more about Indigenous Art and the learning opportunities for students at the @NatGalleryCan Teachers Night Out.

[St. Pius X Black Student Association @stpiusxbsa]

What a great time connecting with our fellow Black students and reconnecting with friends. We’re proud of our members who represented @StPiusXOCSB today at the Black Youth Forum.

[St. Pius X Black Student Association @stpiusxbsa]

We loved all the workshops at the Black Student Forum and building bridges with our classmates from around the @OttCatholicSB in workshops on Sharing Our Stories, Claiming Our Legacy, Understanding Identity and Fostering Relationships. Can’t wait for this afternoon. @ocsbequity
