Teachers in the Making — Learning, Leading, and Living Our Faith

Although it was a short week, our students have been incredibly busy — and so very blessed by the support of our school board and wider faith community!

Yesterday, we were thrilled to welcome Joan Yawney, our Religious Education and Faith Development Consultant, who led our students through a meaningful, hands-on activity in preparation for Catholic Education Week.

Under Joan’s guidance, our students are preparing to become teachers themselves! During Catholic Education Week, they will lead several groups of elementary students through a special learning experience — teaching them about the Rosary and helping them make their very own rosaries.

But before they could teach, they had to try the activity themselves — and that’s exactly what they did.

Together with Joan, our students:

 • Practiced creating the rosary step-by-step

 • Shared feedback to help make the activity smoother for younger learners

 • Made smart adjustments, like:

 • Using bowls instead of plates to hold beads

 • Pre-threading the cross to save time

 • Taping the end of the rope to make beading easier

Through thoughtful planning, problem-solving, and practice, our students are preparing to lead with confidence and compassion — showing what it truly means to be leaders in faith.

Practice makes excellent lesson plans… and future teachers.

We can’t wait for Catholic Education Week to see our students shine!
