Why the Wolf? 

The Seven Sacred Teachings originate from the Seven Grandfather Teachings from the Anishinaabe people and have been adopted by many (but not all) First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples. The teachings focus on the relationships we have with all of creation and offer ways on how people should treat others. The Seven Teachings include Love, Respect, Honesty, Courage/Bravery, Truth, Wisdom, and Humility, and each teaching is represented by an animal. Each animal helps teach us how we can live our lives respecting animals, people, and the environment – every living thing. It should be noted that these teachings may differ slightly between groups or cultures.

What does the Wolf symbolize?

The Wolf symbolizes Humility. Having humility, or being humble, could be described as understanding that we are all created equal; we just all have different strengths and weaknesses.

• Wolves live in packs and operate as a team.
• Everyone in the pack has an equally important role. 
• Wolves will take all of the food back to share with their pack before taking a bite.
• Wolves will bow their head in humility and not out of fear.

As Golden Wolves, each member of the pack is invited to share their unique talents and strengths in our school community and we each have an important role in making our school a place where all feel welcome and experience belonging.

Liturgical Music

Students gather in Division groups to build a repertoire of liturgical music and prayers to bring to our music ministry at celebrations and gatherings. Students offer a unified voice in song.
