Dr. Bernardini’s Bio:

Dr. Silvia Bernardini is a registered Child and Adolescent psychologist.  She obtained her doctorate degree from  the University of Toronto in 2005 and received dual registration as a Clinical and School psychologist from the College of Psychologists of Ontario in 2007.   She has worked extensively in both hospital and school settings throughout the years with children and their families who experience a range of psychological and learning difficulties.  Dr. Bernardini is a founding member of the Clinical Psychology Centre in Thornhill.  At the centre, she focuses her work on children and adolescents who experience distress and limited functioning due to anxiety, depression, and learning challenges.  She assumes a Cognitive-Behavioural and Family approach to helping children and families develop lifelong skills to manage their difficulties.  Her research interests are vast but are mainly focused on parenting and family processes that contribute to child psychopathology.

CSAC NEWSREEL - NOVEMBER 2014

We hope everyone has enjoyed this mild fall weather and are gearing up for the winter season!  We ended October at St. Agnes with our annual CSAC Halloween Dance A Thon!  Great costumes, laughter, and a few shrieks from the Mad Science Lab were all a part of the day!   We raised over $2000.00 which will be used to purchase items for the school community at our November Budget meeting on November 18 @ 7:00 p.m.  Join us and vote on how the funds will be distributed in the school.  We had some generous prize sponsors this year and wish to thank John Vince Foods, Geared to Win Sports, the Hasou family, and the Chin family.

Congratulations to N. Tucciarone for most pledge money raised, Ms. McGrath/Ms. Stewart’s JK/SK class for most pledge forms collected, S. Russo for original costume and A. Li for best homemade costume.
