Dear Parents,
Welcome Back! Another exciting
year is starting! It is the year
2010-2011, can you believe it?
The time goes so fast! As in the
past new members are joining our
dynamic staff at St. John
Fisher. One of them is Mme Diane
Gornicki, our new school
secretary. She is very happy to
join our team and I want to wish
her all the best. Another key
person who is new in our team is
my colleague and principal of
St. John Fisher Senior, Mr. Tony
Di Vittori. Mr. Di Vittori is
bringing along with him many
years of experience. We are
going to have a great year
collaborating with the two
campuses.
I want to welcome all our new
students and parents in our
community.
As usual St. John Fisher School
will offer to the students and
their families exciting learning
experiences during the year. The
student is at the center of our
preoccupation as professionals
and if you need any advice,
questions or support, please do
not hesitate to contact us.
I am sure that the year will be
pleasant for all and remember
that the staff and I are here
for your children.

Dear Parents,
Welcome back to a new school
year at St. John Fisher Sr.
School. It is a pleasure to
embark with you, your children
and the school staff on renewed
beginnings and challenges. Our
goal is to assist and encourage
the children to make connections
between “real life” and the
curriculum and will strive to
“make each child a success
story”.
We will continue with the
implementation of the school
success plan, in particular
literacy, numeracy and wellness
programs, and many new projects
at all levels. The staff will
continue to meet on a regular
basis to ensure cycle team
communication and professional
development. We will continue to
work with the Peaceful Schools
International initiatives in
creating and maintaining a
culture of peace in both our
school and daily lives.
Priorities for Students:
In order to start the school
year off on a positive note
there are two priorities I would
like you to discuss with your
child before they return to
school:
-
The importance of doing
one’s best at all times.
-
About the school’s
commitment to a peaceful
environment for all. Each
member of our school
community undertakes to act
and speak towards positive
and peaceful purposes,
especially in helping those
in need. We will continue to
focus on peace-building
activities throughout the
school year. Also, please
review the Code of Conduct
with your child (in the
student agenda) so that he
or she is reminded of the
behaviour expected at school
and on the school bus.
If
the students come to school
already focused on these two
priorities we will be off to a
great start.
I look forward to working with
the St. John Fisher community
and in particular with Ms.
Rabbat at the junior campus.
Each and every staff member and
each and every parent plays a
vital role in developing the
students to their greatest
potential, both academically and
socially. With your support and
encouragement, we will work
together for a successful year
for our students!
“It is a fact that in the right
formation, the lifting power of
many wings can achieve twice the
distance of any bird flying
alone.”

Yours very truly,
