🎨It was Renaissance art time, as the Grade 8s tried to use dimension, perspective, realism, and light/shadow in their work. Hardest part of this colouring activity? Having the “canvas” under the desk. 🤔Did you know it took Michelangelo 4 years to paint the Sistine Chapel? #StJPIIRocks #StJPIILearning #StJPIISocialStudies

This is a final reminder about tonight’s New Student Night & School Showcase for all students and parents who will be new to St. John Paul II Collegiate next year! To help us manage seating capacity in our gymnasium, we ask that each family please limit accompanying parents to one per child. The presentation begins at 6:30 and is slated to end by around 7:15. Additional family members are welcome to join you after 7:15 pm for touring the school and program showcase, as we don’t face seating constraints for that part of the evening, with the school remaining open until approximately 8:15 pm. Thank you in advance for your understanding! * The presentation begins at 6:30 pm Thursday, March 14th! *Enjoy a special performance from our Grade 9 Jazz Band (music begins at 6:15 pm)! *Following the presentation, students and parents will have the opportunity to tour the school with student ambassadors leading the way, and answering any questions students and parents may have about student life at St. JPII! Please park in our large back/West parking lot with overflow parking located on side streets and a few spaces in our front parking lot. Our address is 53 Cimarron Drive, Okotoks. We strongly encourage all new students (in all grades) and their parents to attend this information evening. We will outline our programs and explain option courses and other aspects of life in junior high. If you know someone from outside of our attendance boundary (or any non-CTR student, Catholic or non-Catholic student) who is interested in registering their child in any program or grade at St. JPII, please have them contact our office, and invite them to attend tonight’s school showcase! If you have any further questions about our New Student Night & School Showcase, please feel free to call us at 403-938-4600 or email our office at jp2-office@redeemer.ab.ca. #StJPIIRocks
