The Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board has developed an engaging and informative podcast specifically for students attending Catholic schools, called Beyond the Bell (formerly OnPoint Parenting). This podcast offers parents and caregivers a unique perspective on the education system, providing insights and information on topics that are often overlooked but essential for understanding their children’s school experience.
Hosted by Chantelle, the podcast covers a wide range of topics—from the importance of Catholic education to more contemporary issues like vaping, technology use, and emergency preparedness. With episodes that cater to all age groups, Beyond the Bell ensures there’s something valuable for everyone, offering guidance, practical tips, and fresh perspectives that can help parents and caregivers support their children’s learning and well-being.
You can stream or download episodes from wherever you usually get your podcasts, or visit the Beyond the Bell website for more details and to explore the first two seasons.
