Orange Shirt Day September 29, 2025
St. Paul's invites all staff and students to wear orange shirts. Grade 9 students, along with new Grade 10–12 students, will be provided with a school-designed orange shirt.
If needed, any student that received an orange t-shirt in a previous school year can purchase a new t-shirt from the Cru Shoppe.
Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day that honours the children who survived Indian Residential Schools and remembers those who did not. This day relates to the experience of Phyllis Webstad, a Northern Secwpemc (Shuswap) from the Stswecem'c Xgat'tem First Nation, on her first day of school, where she arrived dressed in a new orange shirt, which was taken from her. It is now a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations. (Source: Government of Canada National Day for Truth and Reconciliation).
Grade 10 and 11 students are required to upload their service contracts BEFORE October 10, 2025 at 9 pm. This is done by uploading a scan/photo of the contract and submitting it through the Assignment tab in the Teams channel. If you have questions about your placement, contact Fr. MAV (on Teams or at mveselovsky@stpauls.mb.ca)
