Good morning and welcome to February,
There are a number of activities and events that make February at Paradise Intermediate exciting and enriching for our students! Families are encouraged to take note of some important information regarding course selection for our grade 9 students and of the professional learning day taking place this week on Friday, Feb. 7th.
We hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend,
Admin Team - Paradise Intermediate
As all of our grade 9 students prepare to transition to Mount Pearl Senior High for the upcoming school year, course selection presentations are currently being planned that will take place at Paradise Intermediate for students. Once confirmed, dates and times of meetings will be shared with students. Staff members from MPSH will be present to conduct each session.
There will be a course selection meeting and open house for grade 9 families at Mount Pearl Senior High on Wednesday, February 5th, 2025, at 7:00 pm.
Grade 9 families and students are encouraged to review the documentation provided by MPSH in preparation for course selection and to assist in answering any questions that you may have.

The Let's Talk Science Challenge is a free team-based STEM competition that encourages students in Grades 6-8 to learn about new STEM topics and show what they learned in an exciting, supportive environment.
The Grand Finale competition with a quiz and engineering challenge is held in person at several locations across Canada, and online (separate events). Online learning resources and practice events keep the excitement going as you gear up to the big day.
Preparation for the competition is important. Students can work in teams or individually to explore STEM concepts provided in the Study Handbook prior to the competition. Let’s Talk Science also offers practice quizzes and design and build challenges beginning in February.
This would be an independent student endeavor.
Any students wishing to participate in the above competition can reach out to Mr. Aaron Power (aaronpower@nlschools.ca) to express interest as registration is required. There are limited spaces available for the in-person session, so please reach out as soon as possible.
