Exodus 33
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40]
EX 33:1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land of which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
EX 33:2 and I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
EX 33:3 unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiffnecked people, lest I consume thee in the way.
EX 33:4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
EX 33:5 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people; if I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
EX 33:6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb onward.
EX 33:7 Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it without the camp, afar off from the camp; and he called it, The tent of meeting. And it came to pass, that every one that sought Jehovah went out unto the tent of meeting, which was without the camp.
EX 33:8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the Tent.
EX 33:9 And it came to pass, when Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the Tent: and `Jehovah' spake with Moses.
EX 33:10 And all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man at his tent door.
EX 33:11 And Jehovah spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the Tent.
EX 33:12 And Moses said unto Jehovah, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found favor in my sight.
EX 33:13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy ways, that I may know thee, to the end that I may find favor in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
EX 33:14 And he said, My presence shall go `with thee', and I will give thee rest.
EX 33:15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not `with me', carry us not up hence.
EX 33:16 For wherein now shall it be known that I have found favor in thy sight, I and thy people? is it not in that thou goest with us, so that we are separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth?
EX 33:17 And Jehovah said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken; for thou hast found favor in my sight, and I know thee by name.
EX 33:18 And he said, Show me, I pray thee, thy glory.
EX 33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
EX 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for man shall not see me and live.
EX 33:21 and Jehovah said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock:
EX 33:22 and it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand until I have passed by:
EX 33:23 and I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back; but my face shall not be seen.

Va. providers offer motorcyclists 'Rider Alert Cards'
Travel & Leisure Close-Up
RICHMOND, Va. — Richmond Ambulance Authority and Bon Secours Virginia Health System, in partnership with Motorcycle Virginia, have launched a new program designed to save the lives of injured motorcyclists.
According to officials, the program provides free identification data cards that will help first responders provide rapid and accurate medical assistance to riders involved in accidents.
The data cards, officially known as Rider Alert cards are placed inside riders' helmets and contain vital, life-saving information, emergency contact and any medical history. When first responders arrive on the scene of a motorcycle accident, a one-inch, round sticker on the outside of the helmet will indicate that the biker has the Rider Alert card. The sticker also warns bystanders not to remove the helmet, which could prevent further injury.
In developing the Rider Alert card, Richmond Ambulance Authority engaged both bikers and first responders, to determine the most effective way to provide rider emergency contact and medical information.
"Motorcycle accidents and fatalities are on the rise in Virginia," said Rob Lawrence, chief operating officer of Richmond Ambulance Authority. "This card is born out of experience it has been designed by paramedics who have been on both sides of an accident as the injured rider or as medical help. Accessing this basic information after a motorcycle accident can sometimes be impossible. This small tool could mean the difference between life and death."
Richmond Ambulance Authority based the idea of the Rider Alert cards on a program called Crash Card, which was developed in the United Kingdom two years ago by the Ambulance Motorcycle Club. Since its creation, more than 325,000 Crash Cards have been distributed to riders in Europe.

Parent Handbook
Sacred Heart Elementary School
3900 Arthur Drive, Delta, B.C. V4K 3N5
Phone: 604-946-2611 Fax: 604-946-0598
Website: http://shsdelta.ca
Revised Janaury 28, 2018
This handbook is intended to offer parents a guide to school policies and procedures which directly affect them. If you have questions about situations which are not included in this handbook, please call the school office.
Our mission is to educate and aid in the development of the whole child; to mold our students into responsible, Christian leaders and life-long learners.
We aim to be a community centered school with a focus on Catholic education. We will provide our students with excellence in education and ensure the school offers programs in athletics, fine arts, learning assistance, and community services.
Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese (CISVA)/Church Mission: to proclaim and build the Kingdom of God.
As a member school of the CISVA we share in the vision of the CISVA to develop students with the knowledge and skills necessary to realize their full potential (spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social and physical) with an aim to promote Catholic values and to become responsible citizens (respect others and be stewards over their environment) and life-long learners.
Our community, made up of teachers and staff, parents and the Parish Education Committee (PEC), all play an active and important role in the school community. Our teachers are Christian role models committed to ongoing professional and personal development. They provide our children with positive and challenging learning opportunities to develop the whole child.
Our parents are advocates of Catholic education and share the responsibility of developing the whole child, working cooperatively with administration and staff to foster student opportunity and achievement. Our PEC will implement the policies of CISVA, and promote the highest standard of Catholic education within the bounds of available resources.
Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)
Under this act, our students, parents and employees' rights are protected. The school has put into place policies which require the collection of personal and financial information in a manner that is secure and safe. We adhere to the Act and will protect each individual's rights and use the personal information to provide your children with the best possible educational services as set out in our school's Mission Statement. For further information regarding the Privacy Act, contact our school Principal, Mr. Kelly Kozack.
Parish Education Committee
The Parish Education Committee (PEC) will assist the Pastor in the operation of the school as outlined in the CISVA Policy and Reference Book.

The Principal shall participate in meetings of the PEC and shall submit a written operational report. A Teaching Staff Representative shall also participate in these meetings (except for "in camera" sessions) and will present a report. Requests for non–members to speak at these meetings must be in writing and received by the Principal, Pastor and Chair at least seven days in advance of the scheduled meeting.

Admission Policy
Recognizing the need for limitations on the enrollment at Sacred Heart School, policies have been established to prioritize application for admission. Application for enrollment will be given preference in the following order:
- Children presently enrolled, and their siblings whose families are registered members of Sacred Heart Parish and who are up to date in their payment of fees and participation.
- Children of registered families of Sacred Heart Parish who have previously applied.
- Children of families registered in Sacred Heart Parish.
- Children transferring from other Catholic schools with a recommendation from the previous pastor.
- Children of Catholic families not registered in Sacred Heart Parish.
- Children of non-Catholic families.
Note: Children of families registered in the school who are delinquent in their fees and/or participation might not be accepted for registration. Those families seeking exemption from or reduction of payment (even temporary) must contact the Office Manager and complete a Request for Financial Relief form.
Each family is required to read and sign the "Family Statement of Commitment." By returning the signed document you accept the responsibilities as outlined in that document.
International Student Program
Sacred Heart School operates an International Student Program in which we enroll students from countries outside of Canada. Those Students accepted into Grades K-7 must live with a parent while attending Sacred Heart School. Presently we deal with one Korean company, IGE, who takes care of all the necessary requirements including insurance and proper passport documentation. The students are fully integrated into the curriculum and extracurricular activities and all concerns and program changes are overseen by the Parish Education Committee.
Parent Participation Program
Our Catholic School is part of the Christian Community and parents are expected to participate in some areas to help support the operation of the school. The Parent Participation Program functions under the direction of the PEC. The PEC oversees the operation of this program. However, it is the responsibility of the parents to ensure that they have completed their work participation. Failure to do so will result in a penalty. In as much as the PEC will try to facilitate all the various work programs it is ultimately the responsibility of the parent to ensure that they complete their participation and have it documented as instructed.
Participation is expected to take place between May 16 of the preceding school year and May 15 of the following year.
- A participating family with children enrolled in the school is committed to a minimum of 40 hours service per school year.
- Parents are required to volunteer a minimum of 4 hours on school fundraising and 4 hours on either maintenance or supervision.
- Participating families are required to submit one post-dated cheque (dated May 31 of the following year) in the amount of $750.00 with their registration package. This cheque will be held and cashed in the event of failure to deliver committed services.
- Completed parent participation forms detailing the work performed are due by May 15 of the following year either online or in paper form. If by May 15th of the following year, a family fails to meet the volunteer commitment of 40 hours, cheques are cashed and service hours completed to-date at a rate of $15/hour are refunded
- Any family who feels that they should receive a reduction in hours due to a major parish commitment or personal circumstances may pick up the "Request for Reduction in Parent Participations Hours" form from the Office Manager and return it to the PEC representative in charge of this area by the end of September.
Criminal Record Check
There will be a need for some of our parent volunteers to have a criminal record check done. If you will be dealing with students in Sacred Heart unsupervised by a teacher you need to complete a Criminal Record Check. These jobs will include parent drivers, library workers, and parents helping with Mini Hoopers Basketball and teacher helpers outside of the classroom. Please pick up the form and instructions that are available in the file on the desk outside the main office.
Automobile Liability (Volunteer Drivers )
The Archdiocese of Vancouver has a special liability policy that increases the person's liability coverage for each volunteer driver when transporting students to and from school activities (i.e. Field Trips). If you are planning to drive students on any field trips you need to provide the office with a copy of your current driver's license and an up-to-date insurance document.
Parental Responsibilities
Since parents are the primary educators of their children, it is important that a spirit of co-operation and trust exist between parents and teachers.
It is the responsibility of parents to:
- see that Christian attitudes and religious practices are continued in the home.
- see that the child attends school regularly and is on time.
- see that the child is prepared with the proper school supplies.
- ensure that the school uniform and gym strip meet the uniform policy.
- assist the child with homework or extra work needed to catch up.
- check and sign their child's planner each night.
- check and sign their child's report cards.
- participate in school functions and attend scheduled meetings.
Expectations of Students
Students participate optimally in building a strong Christian school community when they have an attitude of cooperation and charity. The student's approach toward the staff should be one of openness and trust, realizing that the prime concern of all staff members is in the best interests of all students. Only in the framework of this relationship will our desired goals be reached.
Students must be willing to do whatever they can to help create an environment of Christian charity. They need to develop a growing sense of respect, honesty, and justice. Appropriate respectful language and behavior are expected at all times. The students need to realize that through their actions they show the respect that they have for themselves and for their families as well as the pride that they have in their school.
Students are expected to participate in the Religious Education program and celebrations as well as in all other school curricular and co-curricular activities.

School Closure
In the event of school closure due to severe weather, please visit the school website at www.shsdelta.org and/or listen to CKNW 98 AM for details. If the school will be closed an announcement will be made between 6:30-7:00 am and repeated often. Please do not call the school.
Lateness, Absences and Early Dismissals
The children have five minutes in which to enter the school and prepare to begin work. The bell rings at 8:40 to signal that they may enter and again at 8:45 to begin classes. A similar procedure applies to recess and at the end of lunch.
Each and every late or absence of a student must be reported each day between 8:15 am and 8:45 am, either by email or phone call (phone calls must be followed by an email or note to the office and teacher). If you report these absences via the Attendance Hotline (Parent section of the website) both the office and teacher will be notified at the same time. The Ministry of Education requires this documentation in order to assess funding every year.
Early dismissals will be granted only if it is necessary. The child must have a note from the parent stating the reason for the request. To ensure proper achievement, vacations should be planned during school holidays. The Principal should be notified of vacation plans well in advance if it is during school time.
Discipline Procedures
The school will set guidelines for handling student misbehavior or disregard for school policy. Teachers, students, parents and administrators will be involved in dealing with acts of serious misconduct. Communication is the essential element when addressing discipline problems. Students who are involved in very serious acts of misconduct may be suspended or expelled by the Principal only in consultation with the Pastor and Chair of the PEC. There is an appeal procedure in place for the parents and student. (See the Major Complaints Policy in Appendix A and consult your child's planner for Sacred Heart's discipline plan and description of level 1, 2 and 3 behaviours).
Bullying in its truest form is comprised of a series of repeated, intentionally cruel incidents involving students at the school. Bullying, which includes acts of violence as well as verbal assaults, will not be tolerated in the classroom or on the school grounds. We encourage all students to report all acts of bullying to an adult, teacher, parent or Principal. Teachers and the administrators will inform parents of actions to be taken. Continued bullying by a student will result in suspension and may lead to expulsion. (See the Anti-Bullying Policy in Appendix A)
Each student in grades 1 to 7 is supplied with a student planner to be used and checked regularly by the parent and student. The assistance of parents in helping establish healthy homework habits is important. It is advisable also that parents encourage students to spend time each evening in activities such as reading for enjoyment, practicing math facts, studying for tests, and improving penmanship or writing skills.
Use of Telephone
Children may not use the school telephone except in cases of emergency and then only after the teacher or office staff has given permission. Teachers and students will not be called to the phone during class time except in emergencies.
Student Illness
We do not have facilities at school to accommodate children who are ill. Whenever a child becomes ill, we will phone home to request that someone pick him/her up. We, therefore, require an emergency contact number in case no one is available.
Uniform and Dress Code
Students are expected to come to school in full uniform. All clothing must be purchased from the current uniform supplier, Top Marks. Orders are placed online at www.topmarks.ca (online ordering code: SHD02). Gym strip is ordered through the gym teacher, Jason Jones. We also have a good selection of used uniforms which can be obtained through our Used Uniform Coordinator.
Boys: White short or long sleeved golf shirt with the school crest, navy pants, and navy socks.
Girls: White short or long sleeved golf shirt with the school crest, a plaid tunic (K-3), or navy pants (K-7) or plaid kilt (4-7) with navy knee-high socks or navy tights. Note: Tunics and kilts must be no shorter than 3 inches above the knee.
Sweater or Vest: Boys and girls (K-6) are required to wear a navy pullover sweater or cardigan with the school crest. Grade 7 boys and girls are required to wear a navy fleece vest that will be provided at a special ceremony during the first week of school.
Summer Uniform (Spring Break to October 31): Boys may wear navy walking shorts with navy socks.
Gym strip (to be worn for all PE classes and school sporting events): White T-shirt with the school crest, red gym shorts with Sacred Heart Athletics on the leg, non-marking cross-trainer running shoes and a labeled cloth gym bag.
Shoes: All students are required to wear plain black or navy dress shoes - closed heel and toe, maximum 1½ inch heel (no runners or ankle boots) to be worn during school hours, on school field trips, or for official photos.
Accessories: Plain navy, red or white hair bands, barrettes and "scrunchies." For safety reasons, stud earrings only. Other jewellery is limited to a simple chain necklace with a small cross, wristwatch, and medical alert bracelets. Nail polish and make-up are not permitted. If hair dye is used, it should be a "natural" colour - no permanent bleaching, please.
Labels: All of your child's belongings should be labeled with your child's name.
All students are required to go outside during recess. We will not send children out during severe weather but please ensure that your child is always dressed appropriately for the weather. A jacket suitable for the current weather should be supplied on a daily basis. Runners are to be worn at recess.
Religious Education
The school uses the program, Called To Faith, which is recommended by the Archdiocese of Vancouver. This program is supplemented by the study of the liturgical year and feast days. Additional programs used are "Celebrate The Eucharist" for First Holy Communion, "I'm a Gift from God" (K–3), and "Chosen" for Confirmation.
During the year there are regularly scheduled School Masses. Students are given an opportunity to share in the preparation of these Masses. All students are expected to participate fully in the celebration of the Eucharist and other Church related functions.
We use the curriculum prescribed by the Ministry of Education in British Columbia in conjunction with the guidelines established by the Archdiocese of Vancouver.
Learning Resource Department
The Department Head of Learning Resource is responsible for the school's entire Learning Resource Program. The role of the Learning Assistance Teacher is to support and enhance the role of the classroom teacher in providing the opportunity for children to reach their full potential. The objective of the Learning Resource Department is to assist and support (and not replace) teachers in their job as "holistic" educators. Students requiring assistance will initially be supported within the context of the classroom.
Learning Resource at Sacred Heart School
We support the goal of inclusive education as outlined in the Ministry of Education policy guidelines. British Columbia promotes an inclusive education system in which students with special needs are fully participating members of a community of learners. Inclusion describes the principle that all students are entitled to equitable access to learning, achievement and the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of their educational programs. The practice of inclusion is not necessarily synonymous with full integration in regular classrooms and goes beyond placement to include meaningful participation and the promotion of interaction with others.
We strive to educate the whole child by fostering spiritual, academic, social, emotional and physical growth, according to the curriculum of BC.
We meet with parents to determine the specific and special needs of each child, with assistance from professional reports and consultations, and then set appropriate goals. The child's program goals, strategies and supports are outlined in his/her Individual Education Plan (IEP).
The school recognizes the parents as the first and foremost educators of their children and respects the knowledge they can provide about the child and his/her learning. While the school requests and values parental input in deciding on goals and strategies for the child, final decisions about the child's educational program at school remain the responsibility of the school staff.
If the child qualifies for provincial funding under a special needs category, such funds will be applied for and will assist the school in providing the child with some support from a Special Education Assistant in order to better meet the goals of his/her IEP.
We will aim to have two specific IEP meetings each year, in the fall and in the spring, between parents and all staff working with the child. Parents and teachers will also meet at the Parent-Teacher interviews in the Fall. As well, there should be regular informal contact as needed between parents and teaching staff to address any needs or suggestions.
We strive for open communication with parents in an effort to promote the optimum development of the child. It is important for parents to be informed of their child's activities, successes and challenges and to reinforce the learning which happens at school. Similarly, teachers need to be advised promptly of any home incidents or details which will affect the child's learning or behavior at school. In this way, we can cooperate in providing the best possible learning opportunities for each child.
General Information:
Communicating Student Learning
There will be three formal written progress reports during the school year. Parent-Teacher Interviews and Student-Led Conferences supplement these reports.
The Principal, in consultation with teachers and parents, will decide the grade promotion for students in exceptional cases (e.g. retaining students or skipping grades).
Spirit or Non-uniform Days
For special occasions, which have a given theme, students are encouraged to dress in the spirit of this theme. However, students may choose to wear the school uniform instead and may still participate in the themed activities, if any, planned for that day.
Electronic Devices
The use of electronic games and devices are not be permitted at Sacred Heart School during school hours (8:30 am-3: 20 pm). If a student is carrying a cell phone for emergency purposes, the cell phone must be kept in their school bag, turned off, and only used in an emergency after school. Those students needing to call home must use the school phone in the main office. Any devices found in a student's possession will be confiscated and held until a parent is able to come and reclaim it.
School Property
Students are responsible for textbooks, library books, school equipment, sports uniforms etc. which are issued to them. Damage or loss will require that reparation be made.
No Smoking/Vaping Policy
There is no smoking/vaping permitted anywhere on parish/school property or in any of the buildings on the property. Drivers or passengers in automobiles which are on the parish/school property are not permitted to smoke/vape either. (See Appendix A for the No Smoking/Vaping Policy).
Extra–Curricular Activities
Sacred Heart School offers a variety of extra-curricular activities in the area of fine arts, athletics, academics and service. All students are encouraged to participate in one or more of these extra-curricular activities. Any student who neglects his/her studies may be denied participation in these activities until he/she shows improvement. This decision will be made by the Administration in communication with the parents and the classroom teacher.
Special Areas:
Students are permitted in the gymnasium only under the direct supervision of a teacher. During intramural events and athletic contests students are expected to show enthusiasm, sportsmanship, respect and appropriate behavior. The use of the gym during school hours is to be coordinated through the Administration and the Athletic Director. Requests for evening use for school activities must be made to the Maintenance Supervisor.
Adventure Playground
Students are permitted to use the Adventure Playground during school hours only when under the supervision of an adult. The Adventure Playground is not available for play before and after school unless under the direct supervision of the child's parent or guardian. No running, chasing, tag or aggressive behavior is permitted in this area.
School Grounds
Students may use the school grounds for play in their designated areas.
Areas where play is not allowed are:
- In or around the Church, Parish Centre and Monastery;
- In the designated parking areas for staff and parents;
- On the north and west side of the School or in the farmer's fields.
Leaving the School Grounds
Students are not permitted to leave the school grounds during school hours unless they are in the company of a parent/guardian or if they present a note to the office that is signed by the parent/guardian. These guidelines are in effect for all school-related activities before, during, or after school. Students must use the sign out/in sheet located at the office when leaving school grounds or when returning during school hours.
School Safety:
Fire and Earthquake Drills
Sacred Heart School follows the fire drill procedures required by the Delta Fire Department. Six fire drills are held over the course of the school year. Expectations for these drills are given to all teachers and substitute teachers and are posted in the classrooms. Sacred Heart School also follows the outline of earthquake drill published by the CISVA "Responding to a School Emergency."
Traffic Safety
Everyone is required to follow the one-way traffic pattern and obey the rules as established by the school and respectfully follow the instructions of staff and parent volunteers on duty. Special care should be taken at the beginning and end of each school day.
Bicycle and Skateboard Safety
Students who ride their bicycles or skateboards are asked to follow all regular traffic and safety regulations such as the use of helmets. Students should walk their bicycles or skateboards through all crosswalks. No student is permitted to ride a bicycle or skateboard on the school grounds from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. They should be walked during these times.
Field Trips:
Teachers usually plan their field trips prior to the beginning of the school year. A form is sent by the teacher to the administration to confirm and check with other scheduled activities. Teachers are required to send home a permission slip to each parent of a child in his/her class. No student will attend an out of class field trip without parental permission. The supervision ratio is generally 1:8 supervisor to students. If there are any concerns about a field trip, contact the teacher immediately.
High Risk Field Trips
The staff at Sacred Heart School, are obliged to inform parents and obtain their permission for their children to participate in all school field trips. In the case of High Risk Field Trips such as the Grade 7 Outdoor Education Field Trip, parents will be asked to complete an additional Consent Form". This form is intended to inform parents of the purpose of the trip as well as the possible risks involved in some of the activities that the children will participate in while away from the school. Any parent who has children participating in "High Risk Field Trips" must complete all forms and understand the nature of such trips.
Appendix A - School Policies
1. Major Complaints
Our central governing body, the Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese, has developed a policy for dealing with major complaints. The policy is outlined here and full details are available at the office.
In a Catholic school, parents, students, teachers and support staff form an integral part of the Christian school community. The administration, teachers and parents must work closely together in the formation of their children according to the Gospel. To this end, parents are expected to be familiar with, accept and support the philosophy and policies of the school. Parents indicate this by signing the Statement of Commitment as teachers do when they sign their contracts.
From time to time issues may arise where the concerned parties differ in their perspectives. In these cases both concerned parties are expected to work towards the resolution of the issue in a Christian manner, respecting each other's point of view. All parties must maintain confidentiality with respect to all information surrounding the particular issue.
The following summarizes the steps, which must be followed:
The issue must first be dealt with by the persons involved. If the issue cannot be resolved using the suggested strategies, the matter must be brought to the attention of the Principal of the school. The Principal will follow the outline guidelines to come to a judgment in the matter. If the Principal's resolution is not accepted, the matter may be appealed to the Parish Education Committee (PEC). This appeal must be submitted in writing no more than seven days after the principal's decision has been received. The PEC will notify the parents and principal of its decision within seven days of meeting.
The CISVA Board of Directors may consider an appeal of the PEC's decision for reasons that the board considers valid and appropriate.
2. Anti-Bullying Policy
Sacred Heart School will not tolerate bullying behaviour. Guided by Gospel values, the behaviour will be dealt with in a serious and timely manner.
Sacred Heart School believes all students have the right to a safe, caring, and respectful school environment, free from bullying behaviour.
A student is bullied when he or she is repeatedly exposed to negative actions on the part of one or more students causing emotional, psychological, and/or physical harm. These negative actions are intentional and hurtful. Bullying can be verbal, physical, relational, or reactive. Bullying involves an imbalance of power, creates fear, and is not gender specific.
GUIDELINES (Roles and Responsibilities)
Students are expected to:
- promote a positive and caring environment
- refuse to bully others or to be a bystander to acts of bullying
- actively participate in school-wide and classroom anti-bullying initiatives and social skills programs
- report all acts of bullying they may experience or observe to appropriate school personnel
Sacred Heart School Staff are expected to:
- provide a supportive environment that upholds Gospel values and encourages positive relationships between students, staff, and parents/guardians
- address bullying behaviour in an age appropriate manner;
- implement a comprehensive anti-bullying strategy comprised of anti-bullying prevention programs, investigation of reports of bullying, intervention and follow-up;
- keep lines of communication open between home and school;
- encourage and teach students to report incidents of bullying behaviour;
- conduct themselves in a manner consistent with Gospel values and the teachings of Jesus Christ
Parents, Guardians, Parish, and Community Members are expected to:
- contribute to a safe, caring and respectful school community;
- learn about bullying behaviour and related issues;
- inform the school if bullying is suspected;
- work with the school to resolve identified incidents of bullying
Prevention of bullying behaviour is the ultimate goal. Prevention strategies are ongoing and should include: a broad-range of educational experiences for students, staff, parents/guardians, and community, common language and understanding of bullying: open communication and collaboration.
Investigation of Reported Bullying Behaviour
The safety and well-being of all students involved shall be of primary concern. The student(s) allegedly engaging in bullying behaviour shall be separated, given the opportunity to speak, and dealt with individually.
Information related to bullying behaviours shall be gathered and documented from all students involved, including any witnesses.
A Bullying Incident Report may be completed.
Actions if Bullying Behaviour is Evident
Actions to address incidents of bullying behaviour shall take into account:
a) the developmental and maturity levels of the students involved:
b) the levels of harm that have occurred;
c) the surrounding circumstances and the context in which the incidents occurred;
d) the nature of behaviours in the past related to similar incidents or continuing patterns of behaviour; and
e) the relationships among the parties involved.
All those involved will be informed individually that there will be follow-up of the incident. The behaviour of each student involved (regardless of role) is to be monitored to determine further actions.
The school administration or the classroom teacher(s) shall determine whether it is appropriate to contact the parents/guardians of the students involved in the incident. The school administration may request assistance from CISVA personnel, the Police Resource Officer, or other appropriate resources.
Intentionally and falsely accusing another student of bullying behaviour shall be considered bullying behaviour and dealt with as such.
In the event that efforts expended by the staff with the students involved are unsuccessful and further bullying behaviours are found to occur, the formal procedures detailed below shall be followed:
In cases where it is determined that bullying behaviour has occurred and is a part of a continuing pattern, school administration or designate shall complete a Bullying Incident Report.
The school administration shall contact the parents/guardians of each student involved and invite them to participate in meetings to discuss their child's involvement in the incident(s). In most instances, separate meetings shall be arranged for the parents/guardians of each student involved.
A written record shall be kept of the plan of action and strategies to be undertaken by the school, parents/guardians, and students involved. Such records shall be kept in a confidential file by the principal or designate and reviewed annually.
If the plan involves suspensions or expulsions the CISVA policy shall be followed.
Policy Communication:
The school administration shall review this policy at the beginning of each school year with all staff members and with parents/guardians.
In keeping with the teachings of Christ, Sacred Heart School will strive to create a safe, caring and supportive school environment, free of bullying for all members of the school community.
Blessed are the peacemakers; For they shall be called children of God. Matthew 5:9
3. No-Smoking Policy
With the limited exception for ceremonial use, all persons are prohibited from distributing, smoking, using tobacco, or holding lighted tobacco, in or on school property.
All persons are prohibited from using an e-cigarette, or holding an activated e-cigarette, in or on school property.
School property refers to all property owned or leased by, or operated under the authority of Sacred Heart Parish or Sacred Heart School, and includes real property and improvements, designated areas and personal property (personal vehicles on school property).
The following expectations shall exist at Sacred Heart:
All School grounds, designated areas, buildings, buses, and vehicles are to be tobacco and e-cigarette free at all times.
Staff or Students will not distribute, hold lighted tobacco, smoke or use tobacco products while under school or district work site jurisdiction, or at any time while on school field trips, competitive events, extra-curricular activities, or any other school-related activity. Violations of the Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Act shall result in discipline.
Staff or Students will not distribute, hold an activated e-cigarette, smoke or use an e-cigarette while under school or district work site jurisdiction, or at any time while on school field trips, competitive events, extra-curricular activities, or any other school-related activity. Violations of the Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Act shall result in discipline.
4. Anaphylaxis Policy
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening reaction to an allergen (a substance that causes allergy). Reactions are often rapid, occurring within seconds of exposure, and in some cases to only microscopic amounts of the allergen.
Peanut products are by far the most common allergens causing anaphylaxis. Peanut butter presents particular challenges in terms of cleanliness and cross-contamination. Examples of other life-threatening allergens are:
- foods, e.g. eggs, fish, milk nut products
- insect stings
- drugs e.g. penicillin
- latex
Ensuring the safety of anaphylactic children in a school setting depends on the cooperation of the entire school community. To minimize the risk of exposure, and to ensure rapid response to emergency, parents, students, and school personnel must all understand and fulfill their responsibilities. For efficient retrieval, the school requires that each student in Grades 1 to 7 who necessitates the use of an injection kit must carry an up-to-date injection kit on his/her body at all times. This is accomplished through the use of a "fanny-pack" or injection kit pack that straps to the child's waist, belt or belt loop. A second injection kit will also be provided to the school office for back up. Kindergarten students who require the use of an injection kit will also provide 2 injection kits to the school; one to the school office, and one that will be supervised by the classroom teacher. Kindergarten students are not required to carry their injection kit on their body. It will be supervised and stored by the classroom teacher.

5. Traffic Regulations
Rules are in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday
In reviewing the traffic safety at Sacred Heart School, the following policies have been made. Most of these rules are already in effect and are being written here in an effort to reinforce them. The central issue is the safety of the children. It is our goal to reduce the chance of accidents occurring. There are over 200 cars a day that drop off and pick up. This happens during a narrow window of time and traffic congestion occurs. Patience and safety are of utmost importance.
The children will have these rules reinforced at school so they too can share in the responsibility of being safe. A diagram is attached for your convenience.
Barry Marshall or another staff member may issue a reminder notice on your vehicle if you are not following the safety rules.
Traffic Flow:
We will continue with the one way traffic. Entry during school hours (8:00 am-4:00 pm Monday to Friday) will be from the South entry flowing north to the North exit.
All traffic, at peak times, will be directed to circle around the Monastery. There will be no parking along the back of the Monastery (the area to the left as traffic moves north behind the building).
The same applies to the overflow gravel parking area. All entry to the school property is, therefore, to take place from the south entrance.
Reminder-The gravel area is for parents who are parking. Please do not use this area to drop children off or pick children up.
Drop off/Pick up Zone:
Who should use the Drop off/Pick up zone?
The drop off zone is meant for those children who can easily and safely get out of their vehicles in about a twenty second time frame.
If your child is unable to do this, or if they need help getting out of your vehicle, you should use the parking areas.
For those using the drop off/pick up zone, please observe the following rules:
- The drop off/pick up zone is a single file line between the North crosswalk (see map) and the South crosswalk. You are encouraged to drop off as far north as possible so as to allow those behind you the chance to move up.
- Drop off/pick up is on the right side of the roadway only.
- Children are to exit only out of the right side of the vehicle.
- When your child has exited the vehicle, the driver may turn in to the middle lane and proceed carefully out of the property.
- Use signal light to indicate a change of lanes, ready for exiting after drop off/pick-up, and heading towards kindergarten parking.
Do not let the children out of the vehicle in the middle of the roadway.
North and South Crosswalk:
Crossing the road during school hours (between 8 am-4 pm) is ONLY allowed at the crosswalks. We have organized a crosswalk patrol to help in this area. The staff and student crossing guards are responsible for safely getting children and adults across the driveway. Please follow their instructions and respect their decisions.
Parking will continue to be available in three areas: between the south entrance and the north exit on the west side, on the south side of the Parish Centre, and in the gravel lot.
- Parking will be on a first come, first served basis. Once your child is safely on school property, you may wish to leave and free up a parking space for those later than you.
- The parking lot in front of the school building and the few on the north end of the driveway are for Kindergarten only. A "K" should be prominently displayed.
- The two reserved 24 hour spots in front of the school is for the successful bidders at the annual Dinner/Dance Auction. Please respect their right to park there at any time.
- The handicap parking spot is for cars with a handicap decal.
- There are many times when parents are helping in the school for extended periods of time. In these instances, you are encouraged to not park in front of the school as Kindergarten dismissal is at 2:50 pm. These parents, too, need a close place to drop off and pick up.
- Please observe the "no parking" signs along the front of the school and across the North Bridge. For the sake of people leaving the school grounds, do not park along Arthur Drive at the north bridge exit.
Children and parents walking to and from the gravel lot are expected to cross on the inside paved part of the bridge, not on the dirt bulkhead.
Special rules for the end of the day:
There is often not enough parking on the gravel lot at the end of the day to accommodate everyone. If your child can easily get into your car without your help, you may wish to pick up in the drop off/pick up zone. Be prepared to move forward in line as others leave. Pick-up is only allowed between the north and south crosswalks unless the child is accompanied by an adult. So remember your child is only allowed to enter your car once you have moved past the south crosswalk. Once you have picked up your child you may turn into the middle of the driveway and carefully exit. Remember to use your signal. Please do not leave your car unattended while in line.

Food Allergy Awareness Policy
To minimize the risk of accidental exposure to allergens from food for those students at risk for anaphylaxis. To supplement and be used in conjunction with the schools "Anaphylaxis Policy" and "Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan" form.
Definitions and Scope:
Allergen: a substance that causes allergy
Anaphylaxis: a severe, life-threatening reaction to an allergen
Food allergy: a response of the immune system to a component of food, which may result in anaphylaxis
To address the safety needs for those students at risk for anaphylaxis from food allergies. For the purpose of this policy, these students will be referred to as being "at risk for anaphylaxis".
Rationale and Intent
Sacred Heart School prides itself in its school celebrations and community mindedness. Not only are meals and snacks eaten within the classroom, but many school events occur where students at risk for anaphylaxis may participate in activities involving food from outside their home. Sacred Heart School also serves the parish and community by having food related events be prepared for or occur on school property. Due to the nature of these events, the school is not able to oversee what foods are involved.
The intent of this policy is to minimize potential risks, to communicate potential risks, and to identify a process for students at risk for anaphylaxis to be safely involved in school events.
Guiding Principles and Goals:
- To address the safety needs for all students at risk for anaphylaxis from food allergies, regardless of allergy type
- To be a "Peanut-Nut Aware" school. Peanut is the most common cause of food allergy, and due to the nature of the peanut components, can cause the most severe and anaphylactic reactions. In addition, peanut butter presents particular challenges in terms of cleanliness and cross-contamination. Other nuts are to be avoided since they are also common allergens and are often processed with peanuts. We ask that parents choose snacks and lunch items that are peanut and nut free. We ask that foods involved in school events be peanut and nut free.
- To identify a process for communication and safe decision making where students at risk for anaphylaxis could be involved in eating foods from outside their own home.
- To promote the inclusion of students at risk for anaphylaxis as much as safely possible in food related school events, recognizing the social and in some cases spiritual aspects of food and eating in community.
- To identify a process for dealing with peanut or nut products found in school lunches.
- To communicate potential risks to families of students at risk for anaphylaxis as a result of various user groups using the school kitchen/property outside of school hours.
- To encourage user groups to follow steps to minimize potential risks.
- To share the responsibility for foods brought into the school between parents, students, teachers, school staff, parish and community members.
1.0 Food restrictions for food from outside the home FOR STUDENTS AT RISK FOR ANAPHYLAXIS:
The completion of the "Food Allergy Permission Form" and the "Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan" form by parents, after careful consideration and in consultation with the classroom teacher, is the process used to identify students at risk for anaphylaxis from food allergies.
1.1 Parents should provide approval for any foods eaten outside the home for a student at risk for anaphylaxis. See the "Food Allergy Permission Form".
1.2 The " Food Allergy Permission Form " should be reviewed by the teacher for all events involving foods from outside the home, to identify if any foods from outside the home will be allowed with parent approval. Parents will confirm with the teacher by email if a food or foods will be allowed. If there is any doubt as to whether the child is able to eat a food, the food should not be eaten and an alternative food from home should be offered (if available).
1.3 Alternative treats for special occasions should be supplied by the family of the student to replace foods involved in an event if needed, or in case of concern about a particular food. These items should be labeled with the students name and class and may be stored in the school.
2.0 Classrooms:
All foods eaten within the classroom should NOT contain peanuts or nuts.
2.1 The classroom teacher will meet with parents of students at risk for anaphylaxis to identify if other safety practices are required for the particular needs of the student.
2.2 Families should not send peanut or nut containing foods to school for snacks or lunches. Peanuts or nuts should not be listed in the ingredients of pre-packaged foods. "May contain" or "trace" statements are permitted, unless otherwise determined and communicated by the classroom teacher, since classroom procedures to avoid cross contamination will be followed.
2.3 Special treats sent for the class:
- Should not contain peanuts or nuts in the ingredient list, "Peanut /nut free" items are preferred. "May contain" or "trace" statements are permitted, unless otherwise determined and communicated by the classroom teacher.
- Home-made items should be prepared without peanut or nut ingredients and with steps to avoid cross contamination with peanut or nuts. This includes baking on clean surfaces with clean baking equipment, and keeping all peanut or nut products stored away from the baking area and baked items.
- If requested, ingredient lists should be provided for baked items to review for allergens of concern
2.4 If peanut or nut containing foods are found in school lunches, the foods will be sent home with a note and the child will be offered other food shared from the class (if appropriate).
2.5 The following should be taught and followed in the classrooms to avoid accidental exposure or cross contamination:
- Not sharing food, utensils or containers (for those students at risk for anaphylaxis).
- Cleaning all eating surfaces well.
- Placing food or snacks on a napkin rather than in direct contact with a desk or table.
- Getting children towash their hands before and after eating.
3.0 School events involving food, during school hours:
All foods provided to the students as part of a school event should not contain peanut or nuts.
A form titled "Food for School Events" is required to be completed for all school events where food is involved (not including hot lunches or bake sales). See attached form. Copies are available from the office.
4.0 School Hot Lunches:
- The hot lunch coordinator should avoid lunch items which contain peanuts or nuts, and obtain ingredient lists for foods when possible.
- The ingredients for hot lunches should be communicated with the order form or posted in the kitchen if possible. A contact website or name may be given if ingredient lists are not available.
- Parents ordering lunches for children with allergies are responsible for ensuring these items are safe.
5.0 Bake sales:
- Home-made items should be prepared without peanut or nut ingredients and with steps to avoid cross contamination with peanut or nuts. This includes baking on clean surfaces with clean baking equipment, and keeping all peanut or nut products stored away from the baking area and baked items.
- Parents of students at risk for anaphylaxis should provide a note for the teacher each time they agree to allow their child to purchase foods from a bake sale.
- Parish/Community/School functions involving food, occurring outside of school hours (usually with parent supervision if student attending):
Families should be aware that due to the nature of these events, the school may not be able to oversee which foods are involved, and ingredient lists may not be available in advance. Parents of children with food allergies are responsible for the communication related to food if their children are attending. Alternative food may need to be provided.
The following steps are encouraged by individuals or groups using school property for events involving food occurring outside of regular school hours. Information regarding these steps will be posted in the kitchen, and handed out by the office or kitchen coordinator to user groups as required.
1. Foods containing peanuts and nuts should be avoided.
2. Any foods requiring storage prior to an event should be properly labelled for that event and stored in a designated place to avoid cross contamination with school related food.
3. If possible, user groups should have ingredient lists available for any inquiries.
4. All foods left over should be removed from the school or discarded after the event.
5Thorough cleaning of the school kitchen (and other areas if applicable) is required after each event.
7.0 Other concerns:
7.1 Field Trips:
- Teachers will notify parents of students at risk for anaphylaxis if foods from outside the home will be eaten as part of a field trip
- The parents will notify the teacher if these foods are allowed, and alternative food from home will be provided if needed. If in doubt, foods involved in a field trip will not be given
7.2 Classroom crafts or projects involving food:
- The teacher will review materials used for crafts or projects for allergens and will notify the parents of the students at risk for anaphylaxis if there is a concern with any of the products used.
7.3 General Cleanliness:
- All of those involved with preparing or serving food to students should wash their hands well prior to food preparation and service, and take steps to avoid cross contamination with other foods.
- A regular cleaning schedule for the kitchen and fridge/freezer should be maintained

Parent's Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to be true to the great privilege and great responsibility that you have given to me. Teach me to be both an example and a friend to my children. Grant that I may never be so busy with outside things that I do not have time to assist them in their needs, correct them in their errors and share with them in their joy. Help me to understand how much they need me.
May I never be irritable or impatient. Give me your necessary grace when my children take me for granted and do not appreciate the extra work they cause me. When I am physically tired or weary in mind may I always remember that my frustrations must not come in the way of my love for my children. But give me the courage to be able to say "no."
Above all, dear Lord, may I be an inspiration by example for them to grow up in Your ways—to be kind and generous, honest and truthful, merciful and just. Lead them, through me, to know you and to turn to you in their joys and sorrows, in their cares and anxieties so that they may acknowledge You as their Father and Jesus as their Brother. Amen.

Saturday I spent the entire day baking these babies. To be honest, I haven't blogged in so long that I didn't know if I had it in me anymore...what if I don't remember how to bake anymore? or what if the last time I succeeded was just a stream of good luck.
So I set out cautiously this time, following my own recipe to the T. You know I used to be lazy with sifting the ingredients but this time I sifted and processed the icing sugar and almond flour twice at my home in Kingston (it was the "messier" part of the recipe).
This is a little off topic but: although my sister was the one to request the macarons in the first place, I'm forbidden from causing her any inconveniences by making a mess at her place in Toronto. I know, I totally lucked out with her as my sister. In fact, when I ordered her present (a waffle/omelette maker) from Amazon and had it delivered, I was so excited to get a call from her expecting something along the lines of "Thank you" or "awww I really like it". But nope, the first thing I heard from the other end was "What the F**K do I do with this? I don't even know how to make waffles". So I said she could return it if she didn't like it and hung up then proceeded to balling my eyes out. She sent a follow up message saying "actually, it's nice. At least I can make omelettes..."
Who am I kidding? I should be used to this by now right.
But when I look at these macarons I'm happy. They are so cute and in some way resemble me and Anna. Blue and Pink were our favorite colours; I painted my room pink while she did hers blue with clouds. Chocolate was always her favorite thing. She could eat a box of those Purdy's hedge hogs in 20 minutes.
I kept on having these mini freak outs while baking these. What if the mixture was too wet? what if I didn't let it dry enough. Despite all these worries, they turned out and they were the prettiest things ever :)
While making the chocolate ganache filling for the blue cookies, I came across the easiest way to make chocolate mousse. It's literally chocolate ganache (1/2 cream 1/2 chocolate) and you whip it in a stand mixer and it will expand and form a mousse. Excuse me while I'm giggling to myself for this brilliant discovery. It's probably been discovered before but all I've come across were the ones where you use gelatin or the one with eggs. I can eat the mousse by the spoonful; it's sinfully good.
They were a hit at the party and I've never been more proud. Nothing's better than getting compliments on your day's worth of hard work :) Now that I think I've got the hang of it, I might start making them more often.
I'll close with a photo from our birthday party. We really don't look that much alike anymore. Let me know if you can tell who's who!

Hello and welcome to Finkorswim.com. My name is Eliyahu Fink (I also go by Eli, eee-lie not eh-lee) and when I started this blog I was the recently hired rabbi at the Pacific Jewish Center, also known as the Shul on the Beach, in Venice California. I was the rabbi there for 6 and half years. The name of this blog made more sense when I was the rabbi on the beach (read about that here: Why Finkorswim?), but the name sticks for now.
I blogged almost every day for about 4-5 years and built a pretty big blog audience. As blog readership declined across the Internet, I devoted more time to microblogging on Facebook. I wrote fewer posts on the blog from 2013-2015, but there are more essays and long-reads that are worth your time.
Now I devote my writing and creative time to the Shul on the Internet. Come check us out at shulontheinternet.com.
Click around and explore the blog. Click the magnifying glass on top to search for pretty much anything Jewish and you'll find something. Click the envelope to subscribe to updates so you don't have to remember to come and visit – we will come to you instead.
If you have any questions for the Rabbi please send me a private and confidential email. I answer all emails. Please include religion, level of observance, age and gender in all questions.
While working as Rabbi at PJC, I graduated Loyola Law School of Los Angeles.
I come from a long line of rabbis and Jewish community activists.
I attended the Mechina High School of the Ner Israel Rabbinical College and developed a love for learning Torah, questioning Jewish ideas, and trying to understand and explain Judaism.
Following High School I attended the Yeshiva of Far Rockaway.
After a few years in YFR, I got married and became a fellow in Kollel Avodas Levi back in Ner Israel. It is there that I studied for Rabbinic Ordination and I was ordained following my examination in 2005.
I was recruited to work as a Rabbi for the Jewish Awareness Movement run by Bracha Zaret on the University of Southern California campus. It was there that I worked especially hard to understand how the Torah system works and began teaching these ideas to whomever was interested. I took about 200 college students on inspiring trips to Israel and New York. I maintain many of those relationships to this very day.
Opinions expressed on this blog are my own. No one officially endorses this blog.

The video shows a Metra express train approaching the North Chicago station in a light morning fog as several people dart across the tracks. The horn is still blaring as Blanca Villanueva-Sanchez jogs across cradling her goddaughter.
Then Villanueva-Sanchez and the baby fall from view.
Metra officials said the woman and her goddaughter died after being struck by the train. In the video released today, Metra said it hoped the images would serve as a powerful warning against trying to beat a train.
(See the video HERE. Warning: Images could be disturbing.)
"It is really very unnerving to all of us who see a tragedy like this and know that it does not have to happen," said Metra spokeswoman Judy Pardonnet. "If there is any message, it is that people really need to pay attention to the warning bells and signals."

MB2 Dental Solutions is a company that provides dental management services to sole dental practitioners. The company is based in Carrolton, Texas and has more than 70 affiliated practices in six states. They provide office services that enable dentists to focus on what they do best and love best about their profession which is providing the highest care to their patients.
Running a dental practice as a sole practitioner has both its good and bad points as opposed to working in a group practice. The good points are that you don't have to deal with bureaucracy and have the freedom of operating your own business where you don't answer to someone higher up than you. Learn more about Dr. Akhil Reddy: https://ideamensch.com/dr-akhil-reddy/
The downside is that you have to manage all of the business aspects of your company which not all dentists enjoy doing. Also, the smaller scope means that a sole dentist doesn't have access to the latest technology as easily as someone does in a group practice as they don't have the same economy of scale. According to The Bro Talk, MB2 Dental Solutions provides a solution that marries the best aspects of a sole practice with that of a group practice.
The dentists that partner with MB2 Dental Solutions maintain complete clinical autonomy as MB2 Dental is in no way part of the dentist-patient relationship. Instead, they take over whichever parts of the business the dentist would rather outsource. This can include, at the discretion of the dentist, Compliance, IT, Recruiting, Marketing as well as other areas.
One of the dentists that has joined MB2 Dental Solutions is Dr. Akhil Reddy. He owns a number of dental locations which he can run far more effectively by using the business services that MB2 Dental provides. His offices are in a number of Texas cities which he rotates between and has dentists that he oversees. One of his core beliefs is to provide affordable healthcare to all of his patients as oral care makes up a big part of people being healthy.
While he has a passion for dentistry, Dr. Akhil is also passionate about wine. He is very interested in the subject and enjoys trying out a new wine. He also says that there are a large number of wines that are fantastic and affordable. Examples he has given to French Tribune includes Château Haut Bernasse Le Clos Monbazillac which is a wine from France and costs only $15 as well as Chateau Mont-Perat, Castillon which at only $11 is an offer too good to pass up.

There has been a really great update this week at Institute of Feminine Discipline that I wanted to tell you all about, and especially those that like the CFNM humiliation side of things…even if it is dodgy as the poor unfortunate victim in this update (sorry dodge) 😉
The first thing you have to understand with the Institute of Feminine Discipline is that the site is based upon a series of rules and commandments due to the entire UK now being a matriarchy in which Women rule over and officially own males in the land! One of the rules is that males are not allowed to masturbate without permission of their Overseer which is IFD terminology for Mistress or just the woman that they report to and serve…whatever term you want to use, it means the same thing right? 🙂 But dave who is currently locked up in the Surrey Institute of Feminine Discipline – the most notorious centre where chronically ill behaved males are sent to be indoctrinated by use of strict corporal punishment back into being good submissive members of society has not only broken the commandment (one of 10 that males must follow) regarding unsupervised masturbation but has somewhat unwisely chosen to break into the bedroom of Miss Amy – Chief Archon of all IFD's in order to use HER bed to do so!
Miss Selina who is currently relieving Miss Amy whilst she is at an important board meeting with the Board of Corrective Women walks into the bedroom as she is entitled now to sleep there as the person in charge of the IFD for the week only to find Dave there in a pool of…well…we will leave that part to your imagination and draw a much welcomed veil over the whole thing 😉
Of course finding Dodgy in this state Miss Selina (aka Miss Zoe) would have LOVED I am sure, to have used some electric prodders to poke in the pool of you know what which no doubt would have ensured he never is able to do such things again given it would have completely electrocuted his love truncheon…well…love pencil…well…love pin actually and ensure by hook or by crook that such a thing NEVER EVER EVER happened again! But this sort of cruelty is banned in the Institute of Feminine Discipline! And why? Well because unlike other sites that feature the Matriarchic system in the FemDom theme, Institute of Feminine Discipline is entirely Domestic in its outlook…it is one of the things that i like about it most of all 😉 That and the fact that it features several of the sexiest Dommes on the planet using some of the hardest FemDom Fm spanking anywhere 🙂
Just as the signs warned Dave had he bothered to read them, 'wanking rhymes with spanking' and as you can see Miss Selina here gives a VERY hard hairbrush spanking over her knee that has him yelping till he has truly learned his lesson!
See the video preview here 🙂
And you can see this video featuring Miss Selina now where she spanks the boys exclusively now at the Institute of Feminine Discipline! 🙂 Its a really great site to see and its little Female Supremacy twist with the great domestic FemDom Fm spanking action makes it totally perfect in my view And don't forget, you can also see numerous great movies from the Institute of Feminine Discipline as DVD's or digital downloads at the Femdom Spanking Fm Store or watch them streaming from the internet at Domination Theater!

It's all very exciting and I feel privileged to be where I am in life, but recently I have been having uncomfortable encounters with people who believe what I do for a living is somehow wicked. Luckily, I live behind a 40 foot concrete wall that effectively keep those critics at bay, however, I am quite often required to leave the protection of my bunker and confront those on the other side. When this occurs I find myself the victim of vile epithets, that although true for the most part, make me feel defenceless and frail, and a man of my station in life needs to appear strong and in control at all times.
So, when I came across your advertisement in last months issue of 'Twink Stallions,' I decided that learning to retort abusive or defamatory statements made toward me, would help to demonstrate my confidence and ability to those silly enough to think what I say is important.
SIMON - Oh, how wonderful, you'll fit right in here. Now, when someone new arrives in my class, I like to spend the first little bit in a one on one interaction with them in order to assess their competency when attacked verbally. I'm interested in your comebacks, your expletives, your put-downs, and weather or not you cry like a sissy or take control like a man. How does that sound, Frank?
POPE FRANCIS - That sounds splendid. I am very excited and also quite new at this, so please go easy on me.
SIMON - Fuck you, you dress wearing bitch. I'm not going easy on a worthless dago, like you.
POPE FRANCIS - Oh, my word. Was that necessary?
SIMON - You see, Frank, I can already tell by your startled reaction that you were not prepared for my attack. Like a boxer you must train yourself to duck and counter when abuse is hurled your way. And the phrase "Oh, my word" is something we're going to need to remove from your lexicon.
I'm going to be rude to you again and I want you too call me the worst name you can think of and then say something rude about my mother. Can you do that, Frank?
POPE FRANCIS - I'll try.
SIMON - Great. Okay, here we go.
Where does an 80 year old virgin get off telling people to stop screwing? Maybe if you and that cult of pedophiles you oversee started getting your dicks sucked by hookers you'd stop fucking little boys, you perverted, shit fucker.
POPE FRANCIS - Um, ah, Oh, yeah you follower of Joseph Smith, I bet your mother wasn't baptised.
SIMON - Wow, that was bad.
POPE FRANCIS - Shoot, I know. You threw me off again, I thought you were just going to call me a few names, but you went in a completely different direction.
SIMON - That's right Frank, I did and you need to be prepared for that. Not everyone is just going to call you an ass-hole or give you the finger, some people are going to find out what hurts you most and use it against you.
Let's try something else. I'm going to refrain from using profanity and just insult your work, okay.
POPE FRANCIS - No profanity?
SIMON - Nope.
POPE FRANCIS - Okay, let me just say a quick prayer to help with......
SIMON - Shut up.
POPE FRANCIS - Sorry.
SIMON - Don't ever apologize, it makes you look weak.
POPE FRANCIS - Sorry.
SIMON - Here we go. Jesus said, "If you wish to be perfect, go sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven." So why does the Vatican keep an art collection estimated at 17 billion dollars instead of selling it off and feeding the poor? Is it because your a bunch of cock suckers or just greedy?
POPE FRANCIS - I thought you weren't going to swear.
SIMON - I lied.
POPE FRANCIS - Oh, okay, well, um, 17 billion dollars will never feed all the hungry mouths around the world, It would be a drop in the ocean; and once it had soaked into the desert, like water from a leaking tanker in the Sahara, it would be gone forever, leaving bare walls and a basilica without Michelangelo's Pietà: a simpler but a less spiritually powerful place.
SIMON - Alright, that was a good answer, but remember, I'm not your grandma, I'm some jerk that just approached you on the street to start a verbal confrontation. You want to be more aggressive and even rude in order to shut me up. Why don't you try and answer that question again, only this time, be more assertive.
POPE FRANCIS - Okay....Fuck You?
SIMON - Excellent! See that, you're not just a douchebag on a golden throne, you actually have some brains in that wrinkly old head.
POPE FRANCIS - Fuck You?
SIMON - Very good, Frank. I tried to throw an unexpected insult at you and you were ready for it. You sure are a quick learner, my friend.
POPE FRANCIS - Thanks. It only took me an hour to learn how to juggle.
SIMON - Oh, I believe it. I'd like to now get a feel for how good you are at insulting people. I want you to take a close look at me, examine my clothing, hair style, gestures, anything you can find to make fun of. When you have something, just go ahead and say it.
POPE FRANCIS - Okay....um....you have....no, that's no good....um....there is no bulge in the front of your pants so females will not be interested in you.
SIMON - Okay, that's not too bad, but a more succinct way to say that might be, "You're a dickless, looser." Why don't you try that.
POPE FRANCIS - You're a dickless looser. Oh, my, you are correct, it feels much better saying it that way.
SIMON - See how easy it can be.
POPE FRANCIS - I do, you piece of dog excrement....no, wait....I mean you piece of dog shit.
SIMON - Oh, that's great, Frank. I can see your gong to do very well in this class.
POPE FRANCIS - Wow, this feels so liberating. I don't know why I waited so long to use profanity, it's so much fun. I can't wait until I get back to the Vatican. The Bishops are going to have one hell of a surprise in store for them. Can we do another one?
SIMON - Sure, I'm game. How about I say, um, I don't know, after the Charlie Hebdo attack you essentially blamed the magazine for what happened by saying there is a limit to free speech as it pertains to mocking religion. Were you drunk when you said that, because if not it makes you a bigger piece of shit than what falls out of a brontosaurs' ass.
POPE FRANCIS - Shut up, cunt rag.
SIMON - Oh, that's good, Frank. I've never heard that one before.
POPE FRANCIS - Really, was it as good as the time you blew your father?
SIMON - Way to go, Frank, you seem to have the hang of it. Most people take a little longer to figure it out, especially someone like you, who has very limited experience with this sort of thing. If I'm not careful you are going to steal my job out from under me, ha, ha. How about we end our little one on one and get the rest of the class involved.
POPE FRANCIS - How about I fuck your mother with a bowling pin?
SIMON - Okay, Frank, that's good. Lets move on.
POPE FRANCIS - Oh, were you talking? Because all I heard was someone queefing.
SIMON - Frank, you can stop now.
POPE FRANCIS - Sorry, I don't listen to bitches.
SIMON - Alright, that's enough.
POPE FRANCIS - That's not what your wife said last night.
SIMON - Frank, you're starting to get out of control. This is not how this class works.
POPE FRANCIS - I'd like to see things from your point of view, but I just can't seem to fit my head up my ass.
SIMON - Stop it.
POPE FRANCIS - Oh, is the big, strong teacher gonna cry?
SIMON - If you keep this up I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
POPE FRANCIS - By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you a waste of skin. You may now kiss my ass.
SIMON - Please leave.
POPE FRANCIS - After meeting you, I've decided I am in favor of abortion in cases of incest.
SIMON - Out.
POPE FRANCIS - Fine, I'll leave, but you're still a wank-stain.
SIMON - Now.
POPE FRANCIS - Ass-hole.
