Principal's Message
Our girl's & boys's volleyball team enjoyed a wonderful day of competing against area schools and did a great job representing Convent Glen this week! Thank you to Mrs. Prosser & Ms. Ferraro for coaching and to Mme Elliott for convening both tournaments.
Sunday marks the beginning of the Advent season. We will celebrate our Advent Mass on Tuesday Dec. 2nd at 10:45 am. Parents are welcome to attend. Thank you to Mrs. Cormier and Mr. Edson for hosting the mass.
We continue to collect items for the Christmas Store. Parents and students may drop off donations (gently-used, appropriate items or gift bags/tissue paper/bows/tape) at the office. Thank you!
Between 9:30-10:30 on Tuesday Dec. 2nd, students in grades 3-6 who have celebrated their First Reconciliation will have an opportunity to say their confession to Father Martin in our Learning Commons.
Please note that Friday Dec 5th is a PD Day and there is no school for students on that day.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend with your friends and family.
Dec 8th at 1:00pm
We will be hosting two percussionists Andrew Harris and Dominic Moreau from the NAC Orchestra. Their group is called “Bangers and Smash.” This entertaining duo has performed for many years, and audiences are always excited by their humour, percussive skills, and the variety of styles and music that they perform. It is such a treat to have them coming to our school!
God Bless

Ottawa 67's National Anthem Opportunity
Ottawa 67's National Anthem Opportunity
Dear Convent Glen Families,
We hope you are doing well. We have some exciting news to share with you about a wonderful opportunity for our school choir.
A Special Performance Opportunity
A Special Performance Opportunity
Our talented student choir has been invited to perform the National Anthem at an Ottawa 67's hockey game! The choir will get to sing in front of about 4,000 cheering fans at TD Place in Lansdowne on Friday, January 30th at 7:00 PM. What an amazing experience this will be for our young singers and school community!
How This Helps Our School
How This Helps Our School
This event is a great fundraising opportunity for our school. Family members can buy tickets to the performance and game. Tickets are available to purchase on School Cash Online starting this evening for $26 each, which is cheaper than purchasing tickets online. For every ticket sold, $5 will go directly back to our school, making this an amazing fundraising opportunity! Any money raised will go towards various school enhancements.
What's Included
Each choir student will receive a complimentary ticket to the game. Our school will have our own special section (Section 27) where families can sit together. After singing the anthem, please come to get your child from the singing area to watch the rest of the game together. Once the anthem has finished, there is no staff supervision. Feel free to sit anywhere in section 27.
Transportation
Transportation
Please note that transportation to and from TD Place will need to be arranged by each family. The venue is located at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa, which has parking available.
We are so excited about this opportunity for our choir students to shine! Thank you for supporting our choir program and helping make these special experiences possible for our students.
If your child will attend the event, please cut and fill out the slip below and have your child return it to school before Friday December 12th, 2025 to any choir leader.
Sincerely,
Sarah Lepindea, Monique Guillouzic and Karenne Cormier
Choir Leaders
The Advent Hope Project
We are excited to continue The Advent Hope Project at Convent Glen Catholic School during this Advent Season.
During the first two weeks of Advent, December 1st to December 12th, we invite families to donate gift cards. These cards will be gifted to families in need at our school and our sister school, St. John Paul II.
Practical gift cards are from places like Walmart, Dollarama, Toys R’ Us, Giant Tiger or Canadian Tire etc. Please send the gift card with your child to school to give to his/her homeroom teacher. Any amount is much appreciated. Please tape the gift receipt to the gift card and clearly write the money amount on the gift card, so these can be evenly distributed between the families in need.
Thank you for helping to bring hope to local families this Advent!
