ST. AUBINS SCHOOL

1. Although St. Aubins was a Separate School, its involvement in the
2. education of the children of the Wainwright School Division must not be
3. overlooked.

5. The school was needed due to the large population of Roman Catholics in
6. the community. In 1933, the Sisters of the Holy Cross came to teach
7. and also provided music lessons for all who wanted to take advantage of the
8. opportunity.

10. The high school students attended Chauvin School and for a number of
11. years some of the classes were combined when the enrollment was too
12. high at Chauvin School. Darlene Skinner, who at present teaches at Dr.
13. Folkins, was one who taught there. Emmy Nysetvold was also a teacher
14. the first year. In 1968 St. Aubins was closed and the children went to Dr.
15. Folkins School. When part of this school burned in 1978 the elementary
16. students once again filled the classrooms of St. Aubins. Teachers, students
17. and parents helped to make this a profitable year in spite of the
18. inconveniences imposed on them. The resource-room teacher had a very
19. small supply room where she managed to keep order in spite of the staff
20. interrupting to get needed material.

22. Today, the building houses the local museum.
