Principal's Message
We were pleased to see so many of our parents participate in educator conferences this week. If you were unable to make an appointment with your child’s teacher, please contact them directly for a conference by phone call.
Our boy's volleyball team is hosting our OCSB East End Volleyball tournament this Tuesday, Nov. 25th and our Girls Volleyball team is hosting our OCSB East End tournament on Thursday Nov. 27th. We are looking very forward to this as a school community.

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!

Grade 4 Bible Ceremony
When: Tuesday November 25th, 2025
at 1:30 pm (Learning Commons)
Dear Family Members,
Our students are preparing for an important part of their spiritual journey; gaining a closer relationship with Jesus by reading about His life and teachings through the Bible.
An important part of your child’s journey will be the gift of his/her own personal Bible. This special gift, kindly purchased by our Convent Glen Catholic School Council, will be presented to our grade fours at an informal ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 25th with Father Martin. The ceremony will take place at our school in the Learning Commons at 1:30 p.m. You are invited to attend.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lepindea, Mme. Gauthier and Ms. McDonald
