Principal's Welcome
Principal’s Message
Welcome to Monsignor Haller Catholic School.
It is a privilege to serve as the Principal of this wonderful school community. I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside our students, staff, families, parish, and community partners. As I begin my journey at Monsignor Haller, I look forward to building relationships and learning from the people who make this such a special place.
At the heart of our work is a simple question: What is best for our students? Every decision we make is guided by that commitment. We want our students to feel known, supported, challenged, and cared for. We also recognize that parents and guardians are essential partners in their children’s academic, social, and spiritual growth. Together, we strive to ensure every student experiences a true sense of belonging and discovers the unique gifts God has given them.
Rooted in our Catholic faith and guided by the Waterloo Catholic District School Board’s priorities of Listening, Serving, and Belonging, we are committed to helping students grow academically, spiritually, and personally. Together with our families and Blessed Sacrament Parish, we seek to develop compassionate leaders, lifelong learners, and faithful disciples of Christ.
I am blessed to work alongside a dedicated staff whose professionalism, care, and commitment help students thrive each day. Strong schools are built on respect, collaboration, and a shared belief that every child can succeed.
Monsignor Haller will continue to be a place where students know they matter, families know they are welcome, and staff know they are valued. By working together in faith and partnership, we can help every student reach their full potential.
I look forward to a wonderful year of learning, belonging, service, and growth.
Blessings,
Andrew Gordon
Catholic School Advisory Council
Welcome to our Catholic School Advisory Council!
The education of our children is a partnership, working together to build a strong school community. Welcome, we’re glad you’re here.
What is the Role of the Catholic School Advisory Council?
A school council is an advisory body that functions within the parameters of Ministry of Education and Board policy. School councils provide an opportunity and the means to advise the principal and the Board on any matter on the improvement of pupil achievement and to enhance the accountability of the education system to parents/guardians. The ultimate responsibility for the administration and management of the day-to-day operation of the school rests with the principal.
A school council is an important venue for the various stakeholders in education to work in partnership. Its role, in collaboration with the principal, staff, and the community, is to help set the priorities of the school and to enhance learning opportunities, through various activities, for the benefit of our children/students.
What a Catholic School Advisory Council is not
A school council is not a place to pursue your own agenda or advocate for your own child. Individual issues should be pursued through the classroom teacher and/or principal.

Land Acknowledgement
The schools in the Waterloo Catholic District School Board are situated on the Haldimand tract of land that is the traditional home of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe and Chonnonton People. We acknowledge the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge, laws and philosophies of the Indigenous Peoples with whom we share this land today.
We seek a new relationship with the Original People of this land, one based on honour and deep respect. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn here and reaffirm our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation real in our community.
Parish
Our Catholic Faith is taught, reinforced and celebrated in our school, homes and parish. We are so fortunate to have an excellent relationship with our local parish.
