Principal's Message

Good morning Families,

Congratulations to all of our students who celebrated their First Eucharist & confirmation over the last 2 weekends. We are proud of your commitment towards the achievement of this sacrament. Thank you to the parish, teachers, and families who supported students during this process! ⛪ 

Please note that Friday, June 5th is a PD Day. There is no school for students on this day.

EQAO (Grade 3 and 6)

This week, our grade 3 and 6 students will begin their EQAO testing. Please ensure that your children in grade 3 and/or grade 6 get a good sleep, and enjoy a healthy breakfast before coming to school on EQAO testing days. Grade 3 students & Grade 6 students will write from June 2nd - 8th. Please avoid scheduling any appointments during the school day on these days.

June Highlights from the OCSB

Sacred Heart of Jesus Month:  How beautiful is the steadfast love of Christ! June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart. The Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the Friday following the second Sunday after Pentecost. In addition to the liturgical celebration, many devotional exercises are connected with the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Of all devotions, devotion to the Sacred Heart was, and remains, one of the most widespread and popular in the Church.

National Indigenous Month:  It is a time to recognize the rich history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis.We honour the history, heritage and diversity of Indigenous peoples in Canada!

Pride Month: We are all wonderfully made! Every person is created in the likeness of God. As God as taught us, we are all created in his image and likeness, and it is our responsibility to provide our students with a safe and inclusive learning environment that reflects God’s love and grace. We care for our students’ well being, their safety & sense of belonging which leads to the best spiritual, educational, and mental health outcomes

Our goal continues to be one of inclusivity to ensure that all of our students feel welcome, respected, and free from harassment and discrimination when they enter our schools. We are committed to continuing to find ways within our schools to show by our action that students are accepted and loved within our Catholic school system.

Hi families,

Our Year-End BBQ & Family Fun Day is this Thursday!  Come join us on Thursday, June 4th, from 5:00–7:00 PM in the school yard. We are so excited to celebrate the end of an amazing school year together!

This year’s event is all about families participating together. Thanks to a special grant focused on parent engagement, this won’t be a “sit and watch” kind of evening — it’s a jump-in, move, laugh, and make-memories-with-your-kids kind of night. We will have obstacle courses, gymnastics, zumba, basketball, soccer, yoga and much more!  We hope parents will participate alongside their children throughout the event!

Here is all the critical information and schedule for the evening:

What to bring:

• Lawn chairs or blankets

• Cash for raffle tickets and extra concession snacks 

• Comfortable clothing you can move in
