Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to honour the children who never returned home, the survivors of residential schools and their families and communities.

As a Catholic school community, we are committed to listening, learning and walking together on the path of reconciliation.

🧡 Every Child Matters.

We love celebrating our amazing staff 💙

PSG funding helps us host appreciation events through the year.
