Transportation Survey
The department of Education with the Alberta government would like to get Alberta families views on student transportation and the student transportation eligibility criteria. To do so, they are conducting an online survey that will close on June 15, 2018.
These responses will help the government determine if changes are needed to the student transportation system, and if so, what changes to make.
To share your thoughts and priorities on the student transportation criteria, please fill out the online survey.

Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to travel with your peers to see Europe next Spring. If you are Going into Grade 10, 11 or 12 next year at St. André Bassette, you could join us on this amazing tour of cities like Rome, Florence, Verona, Tyrol, Munich and Prague. Experience a wide range of history, artistic achievement, and dramatic natural scenery. In city after city, see how buildings become works of art, from the Sistine Chapel to the Florence Duomo, from Neuschwanstein Castle to the Residenz in Munich.

Wellness
Wander where the WiFi is weak.
There is no replacement for face to face, heart to heart connection.
We know that one thing that stands in the way of connecting in a meaningful way with those that we love, is our over dependence on our phones and devices.
Let’s take advantage of this beautiful weather by heading outside and spending some time with our friends and family.
"Young, old, or in between, we can reap extraordinary benefits by connecting - or reconnecting - to nature. For the jaded and weary among us, the outdoor world can expand our senses and reignite a sense of awe and wonder not felt since we were children; it can support better health, enhanced creativity, new careers and business opportunities, and act as a bonding agent for families and communities. Nature can help us feel fully alive."
