Dear St John Paul II Families,
SJPII is happy to welcome back Daniella Lurion from the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre for Holocaust Studies. Daniella will be visiting our Grade 8 students and discussing the Roots of Hatred and Intolerance. Canada, often described as a diverse cultural mosaic, is not free from hatred and intolerance. Racism, antisemitism and prejudice are examined, as well as how these issues impact students and their communities. Real historical and contemporary examples of hate are used as a means of creating awareness and promoting dialogue and positive action within the school and community. Welcome Daniella!
