When you think about obstacles and opportunities in your life what comes to mind? Money? Education? Who you know? Where you live? All those things can have an impact on the kind of life we live, but, girls also face certain obstacles and stereotypes just because they’re girls.
Champions for Change Club supports the “Because I am a Girl” global initiative to end gender inequality, promote girls’ rights and lift millions of girls – and everyone around them – out of poverty.
Through the Champions for Change Club we’re going to explore different issues that affect girls and women here in Canada and around the world. By understanding these issues, we can take action, make a difference and show the world that being a girl matters – for hope, for power, for positive change.

Convocation Information
Dear Students of the Class of 2026,
All students born in 2008 have been invited to participate in the 2026 St. Benedict C.S.S. Convocation Ceremony, regardless of graduation status.
The St. Benedict C.S.S. 2026 Convocation date has been confirmed:
Our Convocation Ceremony is on Tuesday, June 9th, 2026 at Centre in the Square, Kitchener. Event will begin at 7:00pm.
CONVOCATION RSVP FORM Students, please complete the following RSVP form (ONLY your wcdsb email can access) to indicate your attendance for Convocation events and complete details. Read all the information carefully in the google form and submit as soon as possible.
SCHOOL CASH ONLINE: This week you will receive a school cash online invitation to pay the $80 convocation fee. The majority of this fee covers the rental of the facility, each student’s cap and gown, graph photo sitting fee and folder & composite.
SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER: **Important note: If any of your guests require a sign language interpreter, please email Mrs. Garza at shane.pereiragarza@wcdsb.ca immediately to request.
GUEST TICKETS: This year the fee has been reduced as Centre in the Square is moving tickets to the box office. Tickets will be made available for purchase $5/ticket (plus box office fees). More information will be shared with students in March regarding how they can purchase their guest tickets (up to 4), including wheelchair and accessible seating.
Please do not contact the main office regarding tickets at this time.
