Happy Labour Day!

Our first Trustee Corner of the school year takes us to Holy Cross Elementary School, where Board Chair Anna Brockhoff caught up with students during Welcome Back Day!

There were smiles, great questions and plenty of excitement for the year ahead as students shared what they love about their school and what they’re looking forward to most.
Thank you to the Holy Cross students who took part and shared their voices. A wonderful way to start another year of Trustee Corner!

No School Monday! Happy Long Weekend




September is the month we reflect on the Catholic Social Teaching principle of Human Dignity.
At Lakeland Catholic School Division, we believe every person is created in the image and likeness of God. This belief shapes how we welcome one another, build relationships, and create learning environments where every student is known, valued, and respected.
This month's Catholic Social Teaching reminds us:
Each person is sacred, made in God's image to know, love and serve Him & deserve to be respected.
As we begin a new school year, may we remember that every interaction is an opportunity to honour the dignity of others and reflect Christ's love in our words and actions.
Learn more about Catholic Social Teaching and how these principles guide faith, learning, and service across Lakeland Catholic School Division:
