Extracurricular activities provide a great opportunity for students to make new friends and develop a sense of belonging. We hope they will learn many meaningful lessons that come from being involved in a school club.

Student Morning Announcer: Each year we offered students in grades four and five the chance to learn leadership skills through participating in the monitor programs. Students in the Noon Hour Monitor program are provided with the opportunity to help other students at noon in their classroom while students eat their lunch. The Morning Announcer Program provides students with the opportunity to learn public speaking skills.

Library Monitors:  The Library Monitor Program has started in the Rochester Library and there are 74 monitors this year!  This is the biggest group ever!  At Rochester Elementary School, library monitors play an important role: in fact, in a school with almost 20,000 English and French books, their assistance is invaluable.  Monitoring students can be seen reading aloud to primary students in both French and English; encouraging primary students to read to them as reading buddies; helping students to find research materials; promoting special library activities around the school; decorating the library; helping to sort non-fiction books by using decimals and the Dewey Decimal System and checking in and out books for younger students.  We are very proud of our monitors as they uphold the principles of Library Citizenship: Respect, Responsibility, Focus and Friendship.  Thank you to all of you monitors and let’s look forward to a great upcoming year!   

Choir

Choir ​members come together to explore the joy of music and singing as a team. It is a wonderful way for students to build confidence, express their creativity, and connect with peers across different grade levels.
