Hello students,

I am very proud of everyone coming out to do the Terry Fox Run today! I hope you guys had fun running in the auditorium. Your motivation was inspiring, despite the rain.

To my Grade 7 French:
I expect you to finish the work that you started today for the next class. Please submit one copy per group at the beginning of class. I will not accept any work afterwards.

To my Grade 11 Physics:
I noticed today, during the test, that a lot of you struggled with the final question. We will review the test in great detail after I finish correcting it. If the results are unfavourable as a class, we will review the material in more detail, and strive to do better next time.

To my Grade 12 Math:
Please finish pgs. 127 & 128 all the questions. I will be collecting your work tomorrow.

Have fun and love Math!

Hello students

If you are interested on joining the WE day concert, there are a few things you must do to be ready. You must write a paragraph explaining how you would help St. Jude’s Academy, and local and global communities. Please submit to Ms. Kerr or Mr Palumbo. You must also be a part of the WE club.

To my Grade 11 Physics

Good luck for the test tomorrow, I am sure you all we do well.  You guys have prepared all year for this moment (I know the year has only begun, but the statement is still true.) The test will only cover kinematics, which I know you are all aware of.

To my Grades 11 and 12 Math

Another test down, congrats on your future success. Please take a well deserved mental break (not the ones in Physics, you guys have to study). I noticed that some of you were sick, try to get some rest. Your physical health is just as important as the knowledge you get from me. So try to not push yourselves too hard, that’s my job.


Have fun and love Math!

Hello students

Today we prepared for the up and coming test for Physics Grade 11, Math Grade 11, and Math Grade 12.  Good luck to all of you. You have to study hard and have showed me that you guys are ready. I will consider your sample questions while writing your test.

To my grade 7 French


Today we did a formative test on French verbs conjugation. I realize that the experience was a bit tough for some. However, now you know my expectations during test assessments. I hope this experience will steel your resolve to do better in my class. You guys are a smart and capable bunch; it is time to show that your work is on par with your intelligence.

Hello students

Good luck to our DECA students who are going out and showing the world what St Jude’s Academy can do.  Due to their absences, most of the classes that are schedule for today were modified. The students that remained had a chance to review their work. No new material was covered so those that were absent did not lose any educational learning.

Please practice the verbs - you will be tested on your knowledge next class. You will be tested on avoir, etre, er, ir, and re conjugation in a sentence format. (In a fill in the blank format). Study well students.

Good luck to the mock trial participants, hopefully you beat your opponents to the ground. Please don’t forget if you want to be part of the rock band, please sign up. The signup sheet is on the myp message board.

To my Grade 12 Physics

We reviewed your lab experiment, and where we can improve on the methodology and approach. Also we had begun working on dynamics, and the various elements within.

To my Grade 11 Math

We discussed which day we are going to have the math test, which will be on the Wednesday, and the Physics will be on Thursday so that there will be no conflict with both tests.

To my Grade 12 Math

Today we worked on math problems base on IROC and AROC.  The test for that class is going to be on Wednesday. Therefore if you have any questions, please let me know.

To my Grade 8 French


Today we talked about French as a culture and not just a class. We learned about the Franco- Ontarian Flag and listened to some French songs. Remember that you guys must translate and describe what the song means to you.

Hello students

Today we talked about how to write a proper lab report. Please use this knowledge to the best of your abilities to create a successful report in the future. Also I would like to extend a hello to two new students, to Lucas whom has joined the purple homeroom and Ali whom has joined my Grade 11 Math and Physics classes.

To my Grade 11 Physics

Today we started the review for the test that will be based on the materials of chapter one. The test will be on day seven, so it should be on the Thursday. All questions will be addressed for the next class so please have some prepared. Anything in chapter 1 is fair game for testing, so please be prepared.

To my Grade 11 Math

Today we worked on multiplying and dividing rational expressions. Please remember to mention the impossibilities. Please note that we are coming near the end of this chapter, and as a result the test for chapter two will be happening soon. We will discuss the date next class.

To my Grade 12 Math

Today we learn how to interpret graphs into real life events and vice versa. Please share your creation with other students and compare your graphs.

To my Grade 7 French


Today we worked on pronouns. It is important that you guys have a clear understanding of which pronoun replaces which noun. We will be using that skill very often throughout the year. You guys must take better care of your books, you are responsible for them Do not lose them or take someone else’s book.
