Dear Waterloo Catholic Community…
Thanksgiving has always been a time of reflection in our schools; a time when we pause to look back at the solid foundations of learning and friendship that have been established throughout September, and a time to look forward with anticipation to all the opportunities for growth still to come.
As we continue to make a transition into a post COVID-19 era, we are thankful for the diligent work of all school board staff (as well as the wonderful cooperation of parents and guardians) as we successfully welcomed our students back to in-person learning.
We are very proud of our “Heart of the Community” schools, where fostering “Success for Each” and providing “A Place for All” is our daily calling, as we deliver a “Quality, Inclusive, Faith-based” education to some 40,000 learners, from JK to Adult Education.
As we speak, our Senior Team is working to develop a new Multi-year Strategic Plan that will help us continue to overcome the lingering challenges posed by COVID-19, while also taking advantage of the myriad opportunities that lay before us.
Our new 3-Year Pastoral Plan calls us all to “AWAKEN.” We will certainly heed that call throughout the remainder of this school year.
And please know that we are always eager to welcome new students. If you need information about registering for school, please CLICK HERE.
Additionally, I’d also like to remind you that Monday, October 24th is municipal election day in Ontario, and all registered Catholic school supporters are entitled to vote for Catholic school Trustees.
Please CLICK HERE for information about how to ensure you are on the Voters List.
Finally, as we prepare to give thanks for the privilege of living in a community of peace and safety, others around the world are not so fortunate.
From war, to famine, to natural disasters, millions of our brothers and sisters are suffering.
We hold them in our hearts and in our prayers as we take time with family and loved ones to give thanks for all God’s blessings.
