EQAO Literacy Test @ CHSS |
Good Luck to All Centurions Writing the EQAO Literacy Test on Thursday April 8nd !
On Thursday, April 8th, Grade 10 Centurions will join all other grade 10 students in the province to write their mandatory provincial Literacy Test (OSSLT). The purpose of this test is to ensure that students have acquired essential reading and writing skills to be successful in the future. All students in public and private schools who are working toward an Ontario Secondary School Diploma are required to write the OSSLT . Due to the importance of this test, CHSS has included on this webpage links to the EQAO website so that students and parents can download practice activities. |

On February 24, CHSS hosted the Kids Help Phone School Tour presented by Motorola's Raise Your Voice program. Two counsellors from Kids Help Phone came to CHSS to explain to grade 9 and 10 students how the service works. In addition, Dilys and Victoria talked to students about the importance of raising their voices and asking for help when they need it. Thank you to Kids Help Phone and Raise Your Voice for giving CHSS the oppurtunity to hold this important assembly!
Remember, if you need to talk to a professional counsellor, you reach Kids Help Phone 24/7 at 1-800-668-6868 or you can post a message online at kidshelpphone.ca.
