As an introduction to our Social Studies 9 immigration unit, Mrs. McGeachie’s Grade 9 students explored their family histories by placing a marker on the world map to show where their ancestors came from. The activity was a reminder that our community is built from many journeys, stories, and connections across the globe. 🌎 #StJPIILearning

Congratulations to Mrs. Getty on receiving the Christian Witness award earlier this year. Mrs. Getty exemplifies our faith in everything she does and shares her love of God with the JPII community everyday. Thank you for all you do, we appreciate you! 🌟

In Brother Bear, each person receives a totem that represents a core value or virtue like love, wisdom, or courage. That animal isn’t random - it reflects something meaningful about who they are and how they should live. In many Indigenous cultures, animals and symbols can represent teachings, values, and relationships to the land. Students in Indigenous Studies 8 were tasked with turning their chosen virtue and animal into a physical clay totem that represents them. #StJPIIRocks #StJPIILearning

Mrs. Kutzner’s Science 7 classes are in the midst of their plant unit. Dissecting a flower is a pretty cool way to learn about plant reproduction and see all the parts up close- especially under a microscope. Stay tuned for our peas, beans and corn plants! 🌱 #scienceisfun #StJPIIRocks #StJPIILearning
