🎶🎤The St. Bernard School choir, led by Mme. Sertic, Ms Thilbert and Mrs. D’Angelo was invited to sing at the St. Ignatius high school graduation which took place on Wednesday, June 12. The choir spent weeks preparing for this event and their hard work culminated in an amazing performance! The children had the opportunity to sing in the beautiful Saint Patrick’s cathedral alongside the St. Ignatius choir under the leadership of Mr. McLeod, the high school music director. It was a wonderful, exciting learning experience for our choir! We cannot express enough how proud we are of each and every one of them! They were perfect ambassadors for our school and the music program at our school. We are looking forward to hear your heavenly harmonies at our school’s grade 6 celebration!👏🏻
Congratulations to all the graduates! We loved seeing you today! Wishing you the best in the future 🎓#stbernardflames #tbcdsb #oops #bigkidsbrokethebench
Our St. Bernard students had an amazing two days at the 2024 track and field competition.👟
They demonstrated outstanding athleticism, teamwork and great sportsmanship. The 🌧 rainy☔ Wednesday weather did not deter our athletes and they persevered through the soggy day’s events.
We are proud of all our students’ accomplishments and behaviour.
The girls and boys teams who competed in the relay demonstrated excellent cooperation and communication skills. Our girls and boys Gold team both placed 3rd in the relay race!
Our Gold team placed🥈 2nd overall in the entire junior division. Only losing the first place spot by half a point! Amazing!
We would like to acknowledge the accomplishments of a few of our athletes. William C. 3rd in the 400 M and tied for 1st in the new event called Vertical Jump. Kyra V. placed 2nd in the Vertical Jump. Noah P. landed 3rd in Long Jump. Jonah W. placed 2nd in the 100 M. and Gabrielle T. blazed through the 800 m placing 2nd and 3rd in the 1200 m!
We are also proud to announce that our Gold Varsity team excelled in each event. Many of our up and coming athletes placed in the top three. Congratulations to Lia B. 1st in 100m, Harper B. 3rd in 150m, Ava S. 1st in 300 m, Rose W. 1st in Standing Long Jump, Dante M. 2nd in 100m, Oliver D. 3rd in Standing Long Jump.

🌱👩🏻🌾The Senior Kindergarten French Immersion classes walked over to Volunteer Pool Urban Farm today. This is a community garden run by the Roots CFC (Community Food Center). This organization works to the principle of “good food for all”.
☀️It was a beautiful day to learn about bees, spruce buds and what is involved in preparing the beds for planting. 👩🏻🌾🌱
The Elementary Chess Catholic Cup was held today at St. Ignatius High School. Representing St. Bernard School were CJ , Finley, and William. As usual, these chess players demonstrated sportsmanship and a true passion for the game. They were not wanting to leave and said, ”May we play more games?”
Congratulations to these 3 students and all the King Krushers for an excellent year of chess and looking forward to next year!
Thank you to the organizers of the event, Mr. Schach and Mrs. Workman.
The English Kinders at St Bernard are so egg-cited to share that we’ve been observing the life cycle of chicks. We have been learning all about the chick hatching process and how they develop from egg to chick. Students had the opportunity to see the eggs, turn the eggs in the incubator and hold and pet the chicks while watching them grow. Incubating and hatching eggs in the classroom is a great way to teach students about animal life cycles and the needs of living things.
