Summer Blast Carnival 2011



“When work, commitment, and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible.”


This type of passion was exemplified at our 3rd Annual Summer Blast Carnival last Thursday, June 2 from 11 am to 8 pm at CtK.

Thanks to the support of our student body and our community, we easily eclipsed the funds raised at last year's event for our CtK Cares Foundation.

What was most impressive was the synergy that developed between key staff members and our student leaders in the planning, organizing and implementation of this initiative.

Once again, when given the opportunity, our staff outperformed last year's efforts.

Our student leaders from Student Council, Student Athletic Association and the Prefects in particular proved that they could excel at a level that exceeded our school's high expectations. This came to fruition not just in the evolution of the planning but in the way they deported themselves with the many families that attended Summer Blast between 4 pm and 8 pm. They were respectful, helpful and very interactive with the children which to me was more impactful than any amount of money we raised.

Our students were excellent role models and ambassadors for our Catholic Learning Community. Their efforts undoubtedly left indelible positive memories in the minds of the children of which they engaged.

I can't think of a better way to inspire our future CtK students.

On behalf of CtK, I would like to thank everyone that supported Summer Blast!

See you again next year.

Thanks for reading. Looking forward to your comments.

  1. Kudos to all who were involved in the preplanning, set up and clean up...and to those who were in between. CTK is very lucky to have hard working students & staff who are willing to give of their time. There are many other schools in the province who are not able to run a venue of this kind, all due to various factors. Congratulations on a job well done!
