It has been a truly heartwarming week here at St. Luke Nepean as we celebrated Catholic Education Week under the inspiring theme, “Catholic Education: Pilgrims of Hope: On the Path to Holiness.” Our school community truly embodied this spirit, beginning with our beautiful Liturgy led by our Kindergartens and our Grade 3 and 4 readers. We were also so proud to witness our Grade 4 students participate in their Bible Ceremony, marking a significant milestone in their faith journey. One of the most touching moments of the week was our partnership with St. Stephen’s, where our Grade 4 Immersion students finally met their pen pals in person, turning written letters into real-world friendships.
We were also delighted to see such a fantastic turnout for our Open House; it was wonderful to welcome so many families into our learning spaces. A huge thank you to our Parent Council for generously supplying the coffee and snacks that morning, which helped make the event feel so welcoming and collaborative. To round out our celebrations, we held our annual St. Luke’s Got Talent Show, where our students took to the stage to showcase their incredible range of skills, passions, and unique abilities. It was a joyful reminder of the diverse gifts God has given each of our children, and we are so grateful to have shared this week of hope and holiness with all of you.
Grade 4-6 Junior Track & Field Day - Wednesday May 13th
We are thrilled to announce that our students will be participating in our upcoming Track and Field Event on Wednesday, May 13th! It’s going to be a fantastic day of energy, sportsmanship, and personal bests.
To ensure your child has the best experience possible (and stays comfortable throughout the day), please help them pack the following essentials:
Proper Footwear: Running shoes with good grip are a must. Please avoid sandals, crocs, or boots.
Water Bottle: A large, reusable water bottle labeled with your child’s name.
Sun Protection: Please apply sunscreen before school and send a hat for extra coverage.
Weather-Appropriate Layers: A light jacket or sweatshirt for the morning, dress in layers for a warm afternoon!
Extra Snacks: Moving fast burns a lot of fuel! An extra healthy snack is highly recommended.
Labeling all personal items (especially water bottles and jackets) helps us ensure everything makes it back home at the end of the day!
We can’t wait to see our athletes in action. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our students active and prepared!
