Leading Like a Brazilian Football Coach

As the 2025 World Cup of Soccer draws near, I find myself thinking about some of the great nations of soccer. Only a very select number of teams have ever won the tournament more than once: Brazil, Germany, France, Italy, Uruguay, and Argentina breathe this rarified air. And among these, Brazil is the only nation with five championships.

Chess Tournament

On Saturday, April 12th, Auguston Traditional sent a chess team of 31 students to the Annual Chess Tournament held at Colleen and Gordie Howe Middle School. Over 120 students from Kindergarten to grade 12 spent much of the day competing for individual and team trophies. Auguston had a strong team this year. They played extremely well and narrowly finished in first place in the Elementary school category, winning by only a half point! Congratulations to all our team members.

Work. And Rest.

A few weeks ago, I shared my thoughts on the benefits of physical activity for both our minds and bodies. As we approach March Break, it feels timely to highlight the importance of rest and relaxation. Taking a break is something I personally struggle with, and I know many of you do, too. Our principals and vice principals, in particular, often find it challenging to take a lunch break when there are hundreds of students to supervise. Despite our best intentions to take a moment "later" to eat and catch our breath, sometimes "later" never comes.
