ExtraOridanry October at ICS

ICS Cross Country All Stars

The All-Stars had an amazing Cross Country season with over 50 students from Grades 2-7 participating on the team! The athletes did an amazing job representing our school at the CISVA Cross Country Championships finishing in 12th place out of 35 Catholic schools! Amazing job, All-Stars!

October, Month of the Rosary

The month of October each year is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary. This is primarily due to the fact that the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on October 7. It was instituted to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in gratitude for the protection that she gives the Church in answer to the praying of the Rosary by the faithful.

Student Vote at ICS

On October 21, 2019, we held a Student Vote connected with Canada’s Federal Election so that we could learn more about democracy and our system of government. The election was held by the Grade 5 class and participated in by all the classes in Grades 5 through 7. Before the election, all intermediate classes used the Student Vote website to study the different candidates and political parties. We had to compare and contrast the different parties and their ideas. After the election, we found that the top three most popular parties at ICS were the Liberals, the Green Party, and Conservatives. In first place was the Conservative Party with 22 votes. In second place was the Green Party with 20 votes. In third place with 17 votes was the Liberals. It was cool to learn about our democracy and have a chance to (student) vote this year!
