Report cards can be picked up starting the week of September 10th. TECHNOLOGY UPDATES Our school is now completely wireless and with this brings a new level of responsibility on the part of our students with respect to their personal electronic devices. I am requesting your help in discussing the following with your children to ensure they understand the appropriate use of cell phones and the many other electronic devices they may own. Students are allowed to use their personal electronic devices if they are being used to enhance learning in the classroom. They should never be used for texting, personal phone calls, filming or photographing their peers or staff, or for accessing social media sites during class time unless under the direction of their teachers. Students should not be responding to texts received during class time as this can be distracting to others in the class. Social etiquette on the use of personal electronic devices will be a focus of discussion at our grade level meetings. Our 21st century learners are very adept at the use of electronics but need to be guided and taught their appropriate use. We will be addressing this with our students throughout the year but would really appreciate your support in sharing the ground rules for use of personal electronic devices in schools. More information on this topic can be found in the student agendas that were distributed to every student on the first day. STUDENT COUNCIL CO-PRESIDENTS Mother Teresa Student Council will be led by Eric Esma and Alicia Roy Congratulations and we look forward to your leadership. Dr. Leonard Sax: Save the Date!

Mother Teresa High School

MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAPLAIN The clubs have shut down for this year and students are preparing for exams and trips. I would like to thank the ACTS Team for their energy and ideas.  The last ACTS function is June 14, the year end liturgy.  S.A.A.E (Students Against the Axis of Evil) had a rather active season!  Between liturgies, conferences, special events and school work, members were able to still get excellent grades!  Kudos to all of you. Roy G Biv has been busy tackling name calling and bullying.  We will resume next year with new energy and even better ideas for co-ordinating an inclusive and safe community for all Titans. Currently we are in a food drive campaign.  We are hoping to help out the Barrhaven Food Cupboard with specific food items. The grade 7 & 8's are managing this campaign as the high school students are swamped.  Please encourage your children to participate. The grades 9, 10 & 11 celebrated a year end mass with Fr. Monaghan on Monday June 4th.  It was a beautiful service. Thanks to everyone involved.                                      Martha Dougherty                                        Chaplaincy Team Leader Mother Teresa High School   823-1663 ext. 2019                                          ENGLISH DEPARTMENT During the week of May 15, Mother Teresa's English Department ran a Shakin' it with Shakespeare Competition. The English Department initiated this drama competition to promote the idea that Shakespeare is fun!   All classes were studying Shakespeare simultaneously. Along with this, each grade level created a task that involved drama, oral presenting, cooperative learning and writing skills. The grade nine students used this task as an opportunity to explore tableau. Students acted out and spoke about the scenes of conflict in Romeo and Juliet. The grade ten students wrote and performed a modern version of a scene from either The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night or Julius Caesar. Grade 11 students wrote and performed children's versions of Macbeth. Finally, grade 12 students wrote and performed parodies based on Othello, King Lear, and Hamlet. Teachers then chose a group to represent their class at the school-wide competition in the library. Excellent, well-prepared performances were put on for a large student audience. Winners at all grade levels provided top-notch entertainment and will forever be remembered. Their names were engraved on the Bard trophy, they were given a medal and rewarded with a pizza party.  THE LEARNING COMMONS  FESTIVAL OF TREES At the end of April, students in grades seven and eight were eligible to vote for their favourite nominated book on a province-wide voting day. Thanks to the participation of the Red Maple Club in this literacy initiative, Mother Teresa students attended the first ever Ottawa Festival of Trees. The event was sponsored by the Ontario Library Association and took place on May 17th at the Carleton University Field House. Mother Teresa was proudly represented by Riley Carson, a grade eight student, who introduced Patrick Bowman, author of Torn from Troy, in the opening ceremonies. This was an all day event wherein both students and teachers had the opportunity to meet authors, have books signed, attend workshops and participate in games while enjoying Busker-style entertainment. The results of the province-wide voting were also announced. The Red Maple winner was Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel, and the honour book, also referred to as the runner-up, was Haunting Violet by Alyxandra Harvey. If given the opportunity, I, personally, recommend attending this literacy celebration... you won't be disappointed! Submitted by: Sydney Langlois (grade 7)   CAPPIES AWARDS GALA   Congratulations go out to all nominees who participated in Sunday night's Cappies Awards Gala! Special mention goes out to Antonio Pezoulas who was honoured with the Cappie award for the best lead actor in a musical. The MT nominees were supported by over 40 Jesus Christ Superstar cast and crew members who were in attendence for the event. Great show! STUDENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS Aritra Sengupta, went home a winner from TechU.me's AppJam Competition, taking home a cheque for $1,000, a Blackberry tablet, and a summer employment opportunity from WorldReach Software. Aritra's Air Hockey App was impressive, and overcame obstacles that included the adjustment of Android SDK to eliminate the gravity property. Congratulations to this technology enthusiast!   Congratulations to Lotty Pontones who won a $1000 scholarship to study in French Immersion at the University of Ottawa. Lotty was the winner of the contest, "Pourquoi parler Français?" On March 25th, 2012 some of our students participated in the International Contest-Game Math Kangaroo, hosted at the University of Ottawa.
