Principal’s Weekly Update and Important Information- June 12, 2026
Attachment:
As we enter the final weeks of the school year, we look ahead to some of the most meaningful and memorable moments in our school calendar. These celebrations mark important transitions for our students and reflect the growth, achievement, and spirit of our community.
Kindergarten Graduation – June 26 at 10:00 AM (School Gym)
A cherished tradition as we celebrate our youngest learners completing their first year of school. Our Kindergarten students have grown tremendously through our all-day, every-day program, and we look forward to honouring this special milestone with families.
Grade 8 Farewell – June 26 at 7:00 PM
Our Grade 8 students, our oldest learners, are celebrated as they prepare for their next chapter. The evening begins with Mass at St. Charles Parish, followed by the Awards Ceremony and a reception in the school gym. A meaningful send-off for a special group of students.
Grades 1–7 Awards Ceremony – June 29 at 10:00 AM (St. Charles Parish)
A celebration of student achievement. Awards will recognize excellence in academics, music, athletics, community, and special memorial recognitions, highlighting the many ways our students contribute to our school.
These three celebrations are significant moments in the life of our school. They reflect who we are as a community-one that values growth, recognizes achievement, and celebrates each student’s journey. We look forward to sharing these special occasions with our families as we honour the year that was and celebrate the milestones ahead.
