This past week, MDJH Grade 8 students visited Memorial University’s Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry for a hands on experience under the leadership of Dr. Karen Hattenhauer.  Students conducted experiments and watched an array of demonstration of cool (and hot) chemical reactions.

With final exams on the horizon, the Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation (CDLI) is offering free online tutoring services, which is available to all students of the province, regardless of if they are currently enrolled in CDLI programming.

CDLI have a brochure for students, parents and teachers alike. This brochure provides information on what services we offer, how to access them and what equipment is needed.

It is important to note as well, that we offer junior high tutoring in math and science!

On Friday we said a fond farewell to Narsisso, one of our MDJH custodians. He’s moving on up to Holy Heart, but we’ll miss him!

Reminder that the Grade 9 Carnival is tonight! The main school entrance (by the office) will be open at 6:30 pm, and the carnival runs until 9:00 pm. See you there!

This year Ramadan 2018 will begin on Wednesday, May 16th. The first day of Shawwal is on Friday, June 15. For those students who are observing, we will be opening the library for recess and lunch, as food and drinks are not allowed in this area of the school.

The Annual MDJH Spring Concert will be held on June 6th, starting at 6:30 PM. See you there!

Just a reminder that there is no school on Friday, May 11th as staff have a professional development day.

School Development Surveys are conducted annually to gather feedback from students, staff, and parents/guardians to inform the school development process. The survey results will be provided to your child’s school and used with other data to identify the school’s strengths and challenges. Your child’s school will then create and implement a plan to build on successes and address areas of challenge.

The survey is anonymous, which means that we cannot connect your survey responses to you. We encourage everyone to participate so that we have the most accurate representation of family perceptions at your school.

Please complete the Family Survey by May 23, 2018 by clicking on the following link: https://www.research.net/r/SDFamily1718EN.

Congratulations go out to Grade 8 student Benjamin R., who was awarded an Ambassador Award at the Provincial Heritage Fair this past weekend. He and the other award winners will be travelling to Europe on the Caribou Tour this summer.
