A Strong Start That Leads to Pathways of Excellence
Lakeland Catholic School Division is excited to welcome families with children entering Preschool (PK3 & PK4) and Kindergarten in Fall 2026 to our Early Learning Foundations Open House.
🏫 Holy Cross Elementary School
📅 Thursday, April 9
⏰ 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM (Drop in anytime!)
At Lakeland Catholic, we believe a strong start changes everything. Inspired by our faith theme of doing small things with great love, our LCSD Early Learning Foundations are intentionally designed to build early literacy, numeracy, confidence, and a love of learning — setting children up for success long before Grade 1.
During your visit, your child will:
🌿 Explore hands-on, play-based learning centres
🌿 Build early literacy and numeracy skills
🌿 Strengthen fine and gross motor development
🌿 Engage in faith-filled activities rooted in Christ
🌿 Meet caring school staff
We can’t wait to welcome our littlest learners and walk alongside them with great love.
Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.
"Hello! My Name is… Tiger Shark!" 🦈📚
The students were full of curiosity and had a fun question: how many students would it take to match the length of a tiger shark?
We measured, and it takes approximately four grade one students!

April’s Catholic Social Teaching highlights the importance of each person’s voice and the responsibility we share in building strong, caring communities. It reminds us that everyone has a role to play, and that each contribution matters.
In our schools, Participation is reflected in the ways students engage in learning, share their ideas, support their peers, and take part in school life. It fosters a strong sense of belonging, responsibility, and connection.

MHM Spring Poster Contest
Throughout this Easter season, we are reminded that even the smallest acts—done with great love—can make a meaningful difference.
Lakeland Catholic students are invited to take part in our Mental Health Matters “Small Things with Great Love” Poster Contest, inspired by the words of St. Teresa of Calcutta. This is a great opportunity to express creativity while reflecting on kindness, compassion, and care for others.
