DIWALI AT DPS:
On Thursday, Oct. 20 and Friday, October 21 our students will have the opportunity to learn more about Diwali. Some parents have volunteered to visit classrooms and do a Diwali themed activity with our students on Thursday and/or Friday.
This year, Diwali falls on Monday, October 24. It's the first of the season's festivals of light. Read more from the Hindustan Times - The most significant and holy festival of Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is almost here. Hindus celebrate this auspicious festival to observe the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil and hope over despair. Diwali also marks the death of many demons like Narkasur by Lord Krishna, the arrival of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after killing Ravana, and Lord Vamana defeating Bali. People pray to Goddess Lakshmi on Diwali by performing the auspicious Lakshmi Puja at their homes and offices and ask the goddess to bless them with prosperity, happiness, peace and wealth. In most places in the country, Diwali is celebrated for five days. To all celebrating, Happy Diwali!
DAVISVILLE CROSS COUNTRY AT SUNNYBROOK:
On October 11th
our Davisville Cross Country Team participated in a South Conference
Qualifier Meet at Sunnybrook Park. Our team consisted of students from
Grades 2-6 who have been training 2-3 times a week over the last 3 weeks in
preparation for the meet. The Davisville Team consisted of a total of 120
student runners and multiple coaches. Runners showed amazing resilience
and perseverance throughout the season and they really displayed excellence at
the meet! We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and amazing
support from parents who came to help out or just cheer our team on! Huge
thanks goes to our coaches: Ms. Harnick, Ms. Harte, Mr. Ross, Ms. Bottos and
Ms. Francesca. Thank you to Mme. Rogers and Mme Gibson for all of your help
and support with the practices and with the team and thank you as well to the
parent volunteers (Marnie McBean and Beata Strzyzewska) who helped along the
cross country course that day.
We are proud to announce that Davisville has 8 runners competing in the City Finals on Friday, Oct. 21.

CENTRAL STUDENT INTEREST PROGRAMS-MORE UPDATES:
Admissions to
Central Student Interest Programs When the Board voted to improve access to specialized schools and programs
at our meeting in May, Chair Alexander Brown articulated the why - “It is our responsibility to take
action to improve access for all students where we identify systemic
barriers. This new policy will ensure a greater number of students have
access to these high quality programs and schools while reducing barriers
that have long-prevented many students from even applying.” Central Staff continue to work with school teams and the
various programs to collaboratively set the admission criteria for each
program. The following programs have finalized application details and
are now available online:
Program webpages will continue to be updated as soon as
application details are finalized in the coming weeks. The secondary
central student interest program website contains a Google calendar
