Respect for Life Week May 14-20

TCDSB Integrated Approach to Respect for Life

The policies and practices of the Toronto Catholic District School Board, affirm the sacred character of human life. Our profound support for respect for life issues is reflected in our commitment to:

- the rigorous and thorough implementation of our religious education and family life education curriculum - the richness of Religious Education/Family Life Education professional development activities offered for teachers, as support for their on going faith development and to hone their skills as educators - the safeguarding and maintenance of school climate that support respect for life - the implementation of special events that focus and highlight our ongoing support for respect for life

Respect for life Week is an annual opportunity to celebrate our recognition of the profoundly sacred nature of life. An integrated approach to life issues recognizes two categories of issues: those which take human life (e.g. Abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment) and those which attack human dignity (e.g. social or economic injustice). Our ongoing curriculum promotes a Respect for Life Issues, which involves:

- formation of conscience - connection between experience and faith - response which witnesses to recognition of the sacredness, dignity and interdependence of all stages of life from conception to natural death

Choose Life so that you and your descendants may live. Deuteronomy 30:19

Sinning in Haste Citypulse24, May 5, 2006

Drivers caught speeding in a downtown school zone were given a choice Thursday – a ticket, or a sobering message from a student.

Many picked the latter in a different kind of Toronto Police traffic safety campaign, and it seems to have hit home more than paying off the yellow slip might have. "Your vehicle was found to be going 58 (kilometres per hour) in a 40 (kilometres per hour) school zone," St. Luke Catholic School student Alexandra Bell told a lead-footed motorist. "The probability of you causing my death if you struck me with your speed would be 70 per cent."

Driver A. Dhanji, caught going too fast near the Ossington Ave. school, appeared to take the youngster’s message to heart. "I drive by here every day. I was just ... didn’t even realize I was speeding because when I turned down the road I took my foot off the pedal but I guess it was going fast and I didn’t realize it," she said. Traffic deaths appear to be on the rise in Toronto this year, which is why city politicians are looking at ways to make the streets safer….

School playground gets makeover with new reality television show (Town Crier Newspaper: Friday, May 5, 2006) By Sandie Benitah

Recess will never be the same again for children attending St. Charles Catholic School By the end of this month, they will not only have a new half-million dollar playground, but they’ll also be reality TV stars.

Thanks to a partnership with HGTV, Tricon films, the city and the catholic school board, St. Charles asphalt concrete jungle will be replaced with an amphitheatre, a peace garden and much greenery to play in.

"This is proof there really are angels out there," said Maria Rizzo, school trustee. She was the one who first brought Tricon officials out to the playground when she heard they were shopping for grim-looking public spaces to makeover for a new reality TV show, Green Force. DIGGING IT: School reps and local politicians kick off project to remake the St. Charles Not only was St. Charles selected, but it’s the first public space the team is Catholic School yard. making over. Camera crews set up the last week of April and began shooting "before" footage prior to the official start of construction May 2 in front of a crowd of about 100 students and teachers. "St. Charles is definitely the largest project of the season," said Shaam Makan, vice president of production for Tricon, the company producing the show. "Once I saw it, I knew it was a place we had to do. I remembered growing up and having track and field and I took it for granted. Here, they don’t even have a blade of grass."

All together, 13 spots around the city will be picked for a complete rejuvenation. Makan said it’s his way to thank the community for its services and to tell stories about the communities themselves. "We’re helping communities that have helped us all, whether it be schools or shelters or day cares," he said. Unbelievably, each project is expected not to take longer than two weeks to complete.

Rizzo said she wasn’t sure how exactly they were going to manage the project on such a short time frame but she was thankful to the city for limiting the amount of bureaucratic red tape. "The government doesn’t usually move this fast," she noted. Parents and students at the school were surveyed and consulted before the team came up with the design. Rizzo said the kids could have asked for things like a golf course or swimming pool, but all they asked for was grass.

The community was also consulted. Both city councillor Howard Moscoe and Rizzo sent out notices informing people about the project and asking for their patience during filming. Tricon is funding the project largely through sponsorship money, said Moscoe. He said neither the school board nor the city is contributing anything other than talent and cooperation. Tricon is well-known for its show, Restaurant Makeover, where drab eateries around the city were given a mucn-needed face-lift. They are also behind Much Music reality shows such as Much in Your Space and Fandemonium.

Brebeuf's star soccer player off to U.S. on athletic scholarship Thursday, April 27, 2006--Town Crier By Carmine Bonanno

On a team that is deemed to be in a rebuilding year, Brebeuf College School’s boys’ varsity soccer team has few players to rely upon. Luckily for the youngsters on the team, Renato Ortega is an ideal leader.

Ortega is one of a few grade 12 players on a team that coach Alex Sabatini said should be competitive, but may struggle against the top squads in the league. Since approximately seven quality players were cut from the team because of attitude and commitment problems, Sabatini said Ortega will be looked to for leadership on and off the field. But it was the 18-year-old’s strong play on the field for the North York school that has led to an athletic scholarship south of the border. Ortega will be attending Eastern New Mexico University this coming fall.

Sabatini said Ortega’s ability to control the tempo of a game endeared him to the soccer officials from Eastern New Mexico. Ortega will join a team playing NCAA Division Two soccer. "He’s very skillful and he likes to keep possession of the ball," said Sabatini, who is also an instructor for MSA Soccer Academy in North York. "He has a great work ethic, is very dedicated and loyal to the team and is very coachable. These are all valuable assets to have as a promising player."

Ortega, who is a natural central midfielder, but is currently playing the sweeper position for Brebeuf, said his greatest trait is his unselfishness. He doesn’t mind if another teammate scores the goal, as he’d rather be the one giving him a nice pass. "I’m not selfish, I like to play the ball around. If I see a guy open down the wing, I’ll do my best to send him the ball," said Ortega, who has been playing soccer since he was three. "I can play all positions pretty well, but I’m the most confident in the middle passing the ball."

The jump from high school soccer in Canada to university soccer in the United States can be quite difficult, but Ortega said he is ready to do whatever it takes to be successful. One area he will focus on a lot during a summer of preparation is conditioning. "I have to work on my stamina, as school as sucked my energy the past few months," said Ortega, who may be part of the London City team of the Canadian Professional Soccer League this summer. "I’m just going to try and play my style of game and be dedicated, so I should be okay in the NCAA."

Sabatini knows something about playing NCAA soccer, as both he and Mike Aquino, Brebeuf’s co-coach, played for Quincy University in Illinois. He will be a big part of Ortega’s preparation leading up to his first year in New Mexico. "Having gone through the process of NCAA soccer, both Mike and I will try to help him get fit," he said. "We’ll also give him some tactical insight on what he should be doing offensively and defensively."

With university several months away, Ortega is currently focusing on his studies and helping the Brebeuf soccer team to a successful season. He will also have his eyes glued to his television in early June, as the best players in the world convene in Germany for the World Cup. "I will be cheering for Argentina," said Ortega, who will be majoring in elementary education. "I really like Ronaldinho from Brazil, but Argentina has a really strong team and I think they can win it all."

The focus of the Symposium was on creating cultural harmony, breaking down barriers and coming together as a Catholic community to recognize student excellence and leadership. It was also an opportunity to acknowledge the partnerships that exist between cultural groups and the TCDSB. The Symposium showcased the cultures represented by the Board’s Saturday International Languages Programs offered through the Continuing Education Department.

Among the special guests who attended were; our keynote speaker Dr. Shafiq Qaadri, MD, MPP - Etobicoke North, who represented the Ministry of Education, and author Lawrence Hill, writer of such books as “The Book of Negroes” and “Being Black and White in Canada”. Our Board was represented by: Kevin Kobus, Director of Education; Les Nemes, Deputy Director of Education; Mary-Eileen Donovan, Superintendent of Education; Angela Gauthier, Superintendent of Education; Renford Bailey, Coordinator, Continuing Education; Kirk Mark, Coordinator, Race and Ethnic Relations.

Student Ambassador Awards were given to a senior student from each of the sites where the International Language is tought. This award went to the student who best represented his/her community with excellent marks and who shows leadership in their respective community.
