U.S. vs. Canada in Twitter-fuelled art throwdown

Dozens of high school students collaborated openly in a deadline-driven, cross-border artistic throwdown, streamed live online.

By Jeff Outhit, Waterloo Region Record

CAMBRIDGE — Maybe you picture an artist as someone who works alone in unknowable ways, emerging from seclusion with a piece you can't fathom.
You would be wrong. Young artists proved it Friday.
Dozens of high school students collaborated openly in a deadline-driven, cross-border artistic throwdown, streamed live online.
So: not weird. Not secluded. Fully on display while in progress. And competitive.

Kids got a kick out of it at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School. Also at Martha Layne Collins High School in Kentucky. The schools went head to head, U.S. vs. Canada.
"It brings a different level of intensity to the art," said St. Benedict student Sydney Standing, 15.
Teams of students were given two hours to craft three sculptures to showcase a theme. Kentucky students chose the essence of America. Cambridge students chose the essence of St. Benedict.
Then they got busy, sculpting with glue guns, scissors, cardboard, wrapping tape and plastic.
It's been a revelation to Standing that art can be a team effort.
"I had this different image of what art was in my head," she said. "You don't have to just be painting by yourself. Art can be so much more."
"It's just so amazing to see everything come together," said Kamal Sambi, 15.
Their job was to help sculpt a tree of life for St. Benedict, using plastic and tape. Lights will make it glow.
Jaimie Milne, 16, helped to craft a three-dimensional cardboard heart, because St. Benedict is the heart of a community.
Art appeals to her because it is not black or white, right or wrong. It is interpretation.
"I'm so connected with art," she said. "You can't really mess up."
Eric Laffin, 15, did not expect art class to be so relaxing. "There's something soothing about it," he said. "It's like an escape, almost."
But maybe not so relaxing on this day. "It's a competition," Laffin said. "We're hoping to win."
Art teachers collaborated over Twitter to make the throwdown happen.
"Most of my kids probably won't go to Canada," Kentucky teacher Matt Cockrell said.
So this helps connect them to a different country. And it gives artists the kind of performance platform that musicians enjoy.
"I want to give them that opportunity to be seen and be heard," Cockrell said.
Cambridge teacher Ann Weiler sees a future payoff as students grasp the power of collaboration.
"What is the most important skill that employers are looking for right now?" she said. "It's creativity. It's thinking outside the box."

What to do When the Weather is Bad…

Winter has finally arrived in Waterloo Region! It’s snow season — and that means it’s time to review the WCDSB’s Inclement Weather Policy.

Winter weather can be very unpredictable. So it’s best to be prepared. Here are some key things to remember – because not every day with snow is a snow day:
  • Bad weather — such as a snow storm, freezing rain or frigid temperatures — is always a possibility during the winter months. It is very important to dress appropriately for the conditions.
  • During bad weather, schools and school board administrative sites may still be open, even if school buses are cancelled.
  • Between 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on mornings when inclement weather has been forecast for Waterloo Region, Student Transportation Services of Waterloo Region (STSWR) — the arm’s length body that coordinates and operates student transportation for the school boards — assesses the current weather conditions, in consultation with local bus companies, if necessary. If a recommendation to cancel transportation (including potential closure of schools) is to be made, the local school boards are contacted and a joint decision is made between STSWR and the boards.
  • All reasonable efforts are made to announce any cancellation of buses or school closures by 6:00 a.m. Please note that public announcements will only be made if buses are cancelled and / or schools are closed.
  • It is recommended that parents, guardians, staff and students tune in a local Waterloo Region radio station and also monitor the following online information sources for information about potential closures or cancellations:

Important graduation information!

On Thursday February 21, students who are on track to graduate this June were given a gold Graduation Registration Form to be completed and returned to Guidance by Tuesday March 5, 2019. There is also an $85 fee that is due and can be paid online (School Cash Online). The online payment instructions are on the back of the registration form.
This registration form is very important as it allows the student to verify the name that will be printed on their diploma. It also indicates the size of the graduation gown the student will require for the ceremony and confirms that the student has all of the required credits and volunteer hours. If the student does not plan to attend the ceremony, the Graduation Registration Form still must be returned to Guidance indicating this option. This year, Graduation will be held on Wednesday, June 26, 2019 at 7pm at The Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex.

Bring Your Own Device and Purchase Program

Partnership with STAPLES Canada for Chromebooks and Windows 10 Cloudbooks

WCDSB has made significant investments to ensure our students and staff have access to a variety current technologies. The use of technology to support learning remains a key priority to ensure that students are equipped with the skills to flourish in an increasingly digital world. Chromebooks and Windows 10 Cloudbooks have proven to be versatile, reliable, and affordable digital tool in the classroom.

As students have engaged more with the technology that is available in their classrooms, many families have expressed interest in purchasing a device for their child to use at school and at home. Many parents have reached out, seeking advice about which technology would best support their child’s learning, is reasonably priced, yet durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of daily use as it’s transported back and forth to school each day.

More information can be found on the BYOD information page on the school board website: https://www.wcdsb.ca/programs-and-services/byod/

Mindfulness

What will mindfulness do for my child?

Mindfulness has been shown to have many benefits. Paying attention to the present moment can boost our mood, improve our self-confidence and help us think more clearly. It can also improve our immune system’s ability to fight disease. Mindfulness can increase brain size, specifically the parts responsible for learning, memory and empathy. It is an important skill in our umbrella and supports development of the other skills in our umbrella.
It helps us pay attention to our feelings, thoughts, bodily sensations and our environment, in the moment, without labelling them as good or bad (non-judgement). This means we aren’t feeling bad or trying to change our feelings. Instead, we are just noticing them and becoming more aware of them and the world around us. This may seem simple, but mindfulness takes practice. On average, we spend half our time thinking about something other that what we are doing in the present. This distracted mind has a big impact on our happiness and well-being!

Umbrella Mindfulness Tip #3

Review your schedule daily with the lens of mindfulness.
For happier and more fulfilling days, review your daily schedule with a lens of mindfulness and focused attention. In last week’s newsletter, we discussed spending undivided attention listening to your child. This week, we can add to that idea by reviewing your schedule in advance with the goal of reducing the time your attention is divided between tasks.

Take 5 minutes at the end of each day or the beginning of the week to review your upcoming schedule. Is there anything you can do or change to create space for undivided attention with the people you care about? For your job? Is there anything you can change about the set up of your home or work to protect your attention?

How many tasks are you expecting yourself to get done in one small block of time? For example: making dinner while helping with homework, making lunches for the next day and replying to the emails you didn’t quite finish at work.

There is no such thing as multi-tasking! When we multi-task, what we are doing is switching back and forth between tasks quickly. This uses up much more energy than just doing one task at a time with our full focus. By the time we reach the end of the day, this heavy energy expenditure leads to a lack of will power and poor emotional regulation. It’s no wonder we snap and get upset more often than we want to.

We have strong evidence to suggest that when parents are more mindful of their emotions and think before they react with anger or stress, children benefit. This is a difficult task when we have already depleted our mental and emotional resources. Setting up our days for focused instead of divided attention is a great way to regulate our parenting frustrations, connect with our kids, bring more joyfulness into parenting and teach our children how to protect their attention too.

Umbrella Mindfulness Tip #4


Stay present and cultivate awareness of your emotions in conflict.
Parenting elicits strong emotional reactions. Very strong emotional reactions!! Our kids are capable of being our greatest source of joy and at the same time a steady source of rain and challenges to get through. I’m probably not telling you anything new here. To say parenting is easy would be the understatement of the century.

It’s okay and normal to feel angry, frustrated, stressed and the other feelings that come along with raising a small human with a mind of their own. These feelings are normal and expected. We don’t need to get rid of them or make them different. The challenge is to have these feelings and not let then unconsciously take over and undermine our parenting practices. We cannot allow these feelings to cause us to have unpredictable responses, based on our current mood.

Mindfulness is a great parenting tool because it builds our capacity to a) become aware of our feelings; and b) accept our feelings, good and bad, without judgement. This is incredibly helpful in stopping our automatic reaction and instead noticing our feelings and responding more intentionally.



Start by accepting that life will rain, conflicts will happen, your child will push your buttons and start expecting these experiences to mix themselves in with the easier days. When they happen, notice your emotional response in these different situations. Tune into your child’s emotional response as well. You may be surprised to see the different layers of fear, hurt, disappointment that exist under the behaviour or emotion being expressed.

Try to stay present with the experience and give it the attention it deserves. Note that your feelings are just feelings and that they don’t need to be immediately expressed. After walking through this process with presence you will often see a natural downgrading of the conflict as you become more attuned to the true feelings occurring on both sides and catch issues before they escalate. If needed, take a few deep breaths or a few minutes of space to calm down the emotion you are experiencing before reacting to particularly hurtful or triggering situations.

Course Selections for 2019 - 2020

It is time to start completing course selections for next year! We have visited with all student in grade 9, 10 and 11. Grade 12 students who are interested in returning to St. Benedict for a 5th year will be invited to attend a lunch session at a date to be determined. The decisions that students make now regarding their choices for next year are what drive the scheduling decisions that are made with regard to both the courses and the numbers of sections of each course that we offer at the school next year. The importance of making the right choices should not be underestimated as inappropriate course changes are not always easily corrected once the school year is under way.
As has been the practice for the past number of years, students will be choosing their courses on-line. However, our software has changed and we are now using myBlueprint.

All students should have received detailed instructions regarding the process for choosing their classes during presentations. The site can be accessed as follows:
  1. Go myBlueprint
  2. Login using your school login or GAFE account login

Course selections must be submitted to the school by February 28

Please note that course selections must be submitted to the school and signed by a parent, by Thursday, February 28. Students are encouraged to consult the course calendar on the website, as well as subject specific teachers and guidance counsellors for help making the correct decisions. In addition to before school, after school and during the school day, guidance counsellors will also be available in room 111 during lunch on specific days leading up to the deadline date.

Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) and Course Selection

All students who are registered in one of the Specialist High Skills Major programs will receive a report
which indicates their progress in their sector of choice. Students should use this report to make sure that they choose courses for next year which will allow them to complete the SHSM academic requirements.




Community Service Hours

It is a requirement of graduation that each student complete 40 hours of community service. There are
many opportunities to fulfill this requirement. If you have already registered for Hour Republic check out the
guidelines on the website www.hourrepublic.com. This website can also be used to track your hours and
see volunteer opportunities.

Advanced Placement at St. Benedict

By Mrs. D. Wittmann
Advanced Placement (AP) is an internationally recognized program that allows students to enrich the Ontario Curriculum with the goal of achieving university accreditation.

What does the research say about AP students?
Research shows that the best predictor of whether or not a student completes a university degree is not their high school grades or standardized tests. Rather, the best predictor is how many challenging courses a student has taken in high school. Students who challenge themselves with AP courses and exams are much more likely to complete a university degree in four years or less.

Certificate Program in Engineering starts in September 2019

By Mr. B. Strassburger

Starting in the fall of 2019, St Benedict’s will be offering a certificate program in engineering; formally known as the Engineering Certificate Program (ECP). This program has been developed to help provide students with the academic and practical skills needed to be successful at the University and College levels in numerous STEM fields. Students may still participate, and in fact are encouraged to participate, in the SHSM programs for Information and Communications Technology or Manufacturing. The intention of the ECP program is to build capacity and to recognize the higher level of learning that students are undertaking by completing courses in computer engineering, manufacturing, and robotics.

Along with the academic requirements of the ECP is the requirement to be an active participant in our schools FIRST Robotics team, our e-car team, and/or participate in a Skills Canada event. The purpose of requiring this participation is to ensure that students are not just learning in school, but actively applying their learning to real world challenges and problem solving scenarios.
With the program officially starting we have begun reaching out to our local College and Universities to obtain recognition for our students and the advanced level of learning they are achieving. We are also speaking with local companies to obtain their endorsement of the program, and endorsement that would benefit students co-op opportunities both in high school and in post-secondary. These endorsements will also prove valuable when it comes time for students to look for full-time employment in a competitive job market.

If you are interested in learning more about the program and the specific courses that are required please visit our school website and check our enrichment opportunities, or you can use the link here: https://bit.ly/2DTiPip

Senior Boys Basketball wrap-up

By Mr. R. Martinello

Please congratulate the boys on a great season. They lost a hard fought semi-final game against Centennial Collegiate from Guelph 53-50. The boys rallied from a 12 point deficit with 1:50 to turn it into a 1 point game and they came close to a steal with 18 seconds to go for a chance for the win, but it wasn't to be. Despite the loss, the boys had a great season, winning District 8, winning a number of tournaments, and defeating some of the top teams in the province and country along the way.
