This publication is designed to assist students, parents, and counsellors in developing an effective and appropriate program of studies. As well, this gives you an opportunity to gain an understanding of the academic, social, physical and spiritual expectations within our educational community. Students registering at Miller Comprehensive Catholic High School are identified by their graduating year (example: grade 9 students registering in September 2015 are identified as 2019 graduating students). Our philosophy of “Learning for all, whatever it takes” supports the significance of planning a four year program rather than planning one year at a time. Once you are registered as a Miller student and you have chosen your classes, commit yourself to attending all classes and to being there on time. Plan to do all of the assigned work in each course. Commitment, reliability, and good work habits will assure you academic success. I look forward to working with you over the next four years. Welcome to the Miller Marauder family. Jamie Bresciani, Principal GENERAL INFORMATION CATHOLIC DISTINCTIVENESSAs a Catholic community of learners, the students and staff of Miller High School make every effort to promote academic excellence in an atmosphere in which the Gospel values of Jesus Christ are lived and taught. Our wonderfully diverse community teaches us to value each individual present and allows us to express and celebrate our faith in creative and meaningful ways. LiturgiesCelebrating our uniqueness is vital to the spiritual wellbeing of our school community. With the help of our school chaplain, community leaders and parish priests, students and teachers gather to give praise and thanks to our God though liturgies, prayer services and the Eucharist. RetreatsAs we journey to become people who are close to their God, to their community and solid in their integrity we need to reflect on our successes as well as our struggles. We seek to make changes in our lives and as Catholic Christians; we take time away to ponder our lives in relationship to our Creator, to one another and ourselves. Students participate in a guided retreat at each grade level that corresponds to the content studied in their Christian Ethics classes. |
