Elementary National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

 
 

Monday, September 30 was the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Town Centre students wore orange shirts to promote the important concept of “Every Child Matters”. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a day to learn about the history and unique culture Indigenous peoples in Canada, raise awareness of the impacts of residential schools and reflect on the loss of culture and freedom experienced by Indigenous children. Literacy empowers and liberates people. Town Centre students in older grades collaborated to create an age appropriate read aloud for our younger students. Creating a read aloud allows the older students to be positive role models while the younger students are provided an engaging way to understand the significance of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Pre-School National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

 
 

Each year, September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation across Canada. Both this day and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30th. Orange Shirt Day is a commemorative event dedicated to raising awareness of the individual, family, and community-level intergenerational impacts caused by residential schools on Canada’s Indigenous population. The concept of “Every Child Matters” highlights the importance of acknowledging these experiences. The day symbolizes the loss of culture, freedom, and self-­esteem suffered by Indigenous children over generations, while fostering a collective commitment to truth and reconciliation across communities in Canada.

High School Spirit Week at Town Centre Private Schools: A Week of Fun and Unity

 

From September 23 to 27, Town Centre Private Schools celebrated High School Spirit Week, a much-anticipated event that brought students together in a vibrant display of school spirit and creativity. This week-long celebration allowed students to break free from their usual uniforms and express themselves through a series of themed days, each designed to foster camaraderie and school pride.

Monday: Cozy Comfy Day

The week kicked off with Cozy Comfy Day, where students traded their uniforms for trackpants, sweats, and other comfortable attire. It was a day dedicated to relaxation and comfort, setting a laid-back tone for the exciting week ahead.

Tuesday: Match with Your BFF

Tuesday saw students teaming up with their best friends or groups to showcase their unique styles. Whether it was matching outfits or coordinated themes, the day was filled with creativity and fun, highlighting the strong bonds of friendship within the school community.

Wednesday: Country vs. Country Club

Midweek brought a playful clash of styles with Country vs. Country Club Day. Students dressed in Western attire, complete with cowboy boots, hats, and plaid shirts, while others opted for the preppy look of polo shirts, khakis, and sweaters. The contrasting styles made for a visually dynamic and entertaining day.

Thursday: Shade, Tint or Tone Day

On Thursday, the school was a monochromatic masterpiece as students dressed in black, white, or grey. Shade, Tint or Tone Day emphasized the beauty of simplicity and uniformity, creating a striking visual effect throughout the school.

Friday: Team Jersey Day

The week concluded with a burst of color and team spirit on Friday, as students donned their favorite team jerseys or colors representing their sports teams. It was a day to celebrate athletic pride and unity, with students cheering for their teams and sharing their passion for sports.

High School Spirit Week at Town Centre Private Schools was a resounding success, filled with laughter, creativity, and a strong sense of community. It was a week that not only allowed students to express themselves but also strengthened the bonds that make their school a special place.
