Extra-Curricular Activities:
In recognition that the school can promote other learning experiences besides what happens in the classroom, staff, parents and students endeavour to provide a number of additional learning opportunities beyond the regular curriculum.

Story Telling & Public Speaking
Guidelines are available and forthcoming as the events approach. They are usually held in February. The winners go on to compete at Royal Canadian Legion competitions.

Theatrical Presentation: We endeavour to provide at least one live drama presentation each year.

Science Fair: Our annual Science Fair encourages students to experiment and explore all fields of science. The only limitation placed is that no live animals may be used! Junior and Intermediate division classes present solo or partner projects, while Primary division teachers plan a series of activities for their children. A group/class project may result from this. The school finals are held before the Regional County Science Fair. The date will be finalized when availability of student judges from Bishop Smith Catholic High is determined. An "Open House" will provide opportunity for parents to view the projects. Results in past years have been interesting, informative and well worth the visit!

Kiwanis Music Festival
The Kiwanis Club has been sponsoring a music festival in Pembroke for many years. Traditionally, some teachers at Cathedral have prepared their class for participation in this competition.

Extramural Sports
We try to prepare teams to participate in a schedule of county competitions e.g. cross-country run, boys and girls volleyball and basketball.

These extras are contingent upon the service of volunteers, parents are welcome to assist. This is open to students Grade Five and up. Teams are usually comprised of Grade Six and Seven students and enter competitions against other elementary schools in the following sports:
basketball
volleyball
badminton
softball
cross country running (Grade Four and up)
Try-outs are held. There is no after-hours busing. Parents of children in these activities must arrange for transportation after practices which are normally held after school.


PARENT VOLUNTEERS ARE MOST WELCOME TO HELP OUT!!!
