      • "November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance.  Today is an annual observance that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.  "To mark this day SAGE would like to share with you some tips for allies of transgender people: Œ If you don't know what pronouns to use, listen first. It's also appropriate to genuinely ask someone what their pronouns are.  Don't make assumptions about a trans person's sexual orientation. Ž Don't ask a transgender person what their "real name" is.  Be patient with a person who is questioning or exploring their gender identity.  Understand that there is no "right" or "wrong” way to transition and that it is different for every person. ‘ Challenge anti-transgender remarks or jokes. ’ Be careful about confidentiality, disclosure and "outing". “ Listen to transgender people.  Today at lunch SAGE will be giving out pronoun pins outside the Aerie for anyone who would like one.  If you have any questions, would like to learn more, would like to spend time with others in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, or would like to create events for the school regarding 2SLGBTQIA+ issues and education, please come to SAGE meetings at lunch in the Aerie on Mondays. - Ricki

      • Sydenham High School offers many extra-curricular activities for students who self-identify as Indigenous.  A person that self-identifies as Indigenous understands that being Indigenous is a part of their life story.  This might be through family, heritage, community status, or genealogical research.  Not all people who are Indigenous, identify in that way.  To self-identify is a choice each person makes about how they present themselves to the world.  It does not depend on the perspectives of other people or organizations, and it does not change who you are.It’s truly your choice.  We look forward to offering you lots of Indigenous learning opportunities.  And look forward to exploring Indigenous Ways of Knowing. - Wallace

      • This week, you’ll notice a new display in the Main Foyer.  Consider how the shoes represent the 160,000 Indigenous children who suffered through the Residential School System, and the over 4,100 children, who died.  Current estimates are that over 10,000 children never returned to their families.  We participate in Truth and Reconciliation to hear their stories and honour their histories.  The date of September 30th was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year.  It also gives teachers time to plan events that will include children, as we want to ensure that we are passing these stories and learning on to the next generations.  Orange Shirt Day is also an opportunity for First Nations, local government, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come. - Stevens

Emma Bly was the player of the match as she alternated spirited runs with devastating tackles! Well done girls! – McLagan

    • Your Sydenham Golden Eagles came out on top yesterday in 2 incredible rugby matches vs FSS.  In the 2nd game great off loading and passing helped lead to 2 field length runs by Georgia Lyon and Emma Bly.  Ella Barr made a great debut in the backs while Lacy Tousignant, Mia Ottenhof and Ainsley Bruchette helped a strong forward group to win ruck after ruck.  Georgia slotted through 2 converts to cement the 14 - 5 victory. In the ¼ match the girls put on a clinic in toughness as every Eagle led by Elie Belec, Lindsay Brown and Grace Alport drove over their opponent time and time again. Shelby Terry and Katie Foley notched tries while Emma Cabral kicked the convert to put the Eagles up 12 - 0. FSS came back to tie the game and after a scoreless overtime Mary Tucker kicked a beauty from the far right to give Sydenham the win and catapult the girls into the semifinal’s vs NDSS on Friday. Make plans to go support the girls if you can! - McLagan
