On the evening of Thursday June 5th from 5-7 PM, St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School will be presenting “Beyond the Frame; a Student Art and Tech Exhibition.” This opening reception will take place in the school library, and it is our opportunity as a school community to celebrate the achievements of our talented students. We look forward to seeing you there.
Any Identified students who would like to write their exams in the Resource Room must sign up with one of the Learning Support Teachers in room 248 by Wednesday June 11th, if you do not sign up the expectation is that you will write your exam with your class.
In commemoration of the Afzaal family, who were tragically killed in an anti-Muslim attack while out for an evening walk in London, Ontario, we are collecting donations to support the Youth Coalition Combating Islamophobia (YCCI). Every contribution makes a difference in supporting anti-Islamophobia efforts. Thank you for your support!
This week, purchase popcorn to raise money for LGBT Youthline, an Ontario wide 2SLGBTQIA+ helpline.
Teachers, just a reminder not to miss out on the Pride Week trivia challenge with your classes. Today is the last day to participate!
This is also the last day to participate in Rainbow Quest! Students, keep an eye open for Rainbow Quest posters around the school. If you see one, scan the QR code to begin a scavenger hunt about Gender-Sexuality Alliances (GSAs). Find a poster for each colour of the rainbow and submit the form for a chance to win a prize.
It's rainbow day! Today we wear rainbow colours as a way to say that everyone deserves to feel respected and included at STA. As a reminder, during Period 1 all students will be provided with a rainbow ribbon to wear. Check out our Pride Week table in the forum today during your lunch! We will have some extra rainbow ribbons in case you or your friends missed out during Period 1.
Prism Club will also be hosting a Pride Social after school today at our regular meeting. Come out to Portable 3 after school to celebrate.
Thank you for participating! Happy Pride!
