At Lakeland Catholic, EAL students at Light of Christ are making some noise! 🐰📚
Students were buzzing this week as they explored Bunny’s Noisy Book. The energy in the room was incredible as learners worked together to build vocabulary and used a Grammar Matrix to sort new words into nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs.
From dramatic sneezes and giant stretches to quiet yawns, these students brought the story to life with energy and enthusiasm.

Participation reminds us that we are called to be active members of our communities—working together, supporting one another, and contributing to the common good.
April’s Catholic Social Teaching highlights the importance of each person’s voice and the responsibility we share in building strong, caring communities. It reminds us that everyone has a role to play, and that each contribution matters.
In our schools, Participation is reflected in the ways students engage in learning, share their ideas, support their peers, and take part in school life. It fosters a strong sense of belonging, responsibility, and connection.

Happy International Women’s Day.
Today, Lakeland Catholic honours the women in our division, our schools, and our communities who lead with faith and serve with great love — often through the small, faithful acts that shape lives in lasting ways.
