It is said that a teacher can have a lasting impact on a child. This is certainly true of Mrs. Valda AuCoin. Not only was she my junior high science teacher, she will be a life long friend and mentor, and I am thankful she was in my life during my time at Baccalieu Collegiate. […]

Mr. Trimm taught me a variety of courses throughout my high school years, many of them being science courses. Although he may be titled a high school science teacher, I see Mr. Trimm as an individual who helped shape who and where I am today. Considering my junior and senior high years were completed at […]

I think that I can speak for everyone by saying that Mrs. Martin has had an impact on a lot of people in my school, in a good way. I’ve had the opportunity of having great teachers in my years of schooling but none of them had been so inspirational to me as you were. […]

The kindest, most motivational, and inspiring person to me is both a friend and a mentor, professionally known as the teacher Mrs. Pamela Slade. I’ve briefly known Mrs. Slade since 2009 when I first started junior high at Baccalieu Collegiate in Old Perlican. I didn’t know her on a personal level until my grade nine […]
