Participation reminds us that we are called to be active members of our communities—working together, supporting one another, and contributing to the common good.
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.

What an incredible start to our LCSD Early Learning Foundations Open House at École Notre Dame Elementary School!
Thank you to the many families who joined us to explore how Lakeland Catholic’s Christ-centred early learning program helps children entering Preschool (P3 & PK4) and Kindergarten build strong foundations long before Grade 1.
Young learners explored hands-on learning centres designed to nurture early literacy, numeracy, creativity, movement, and faith through play, while families connected with our teachers and support team to learn how Lakeland Catholic intentionally supports each child’s development.
Our Early Learning Foundations approach ensures children begin their school journey feeling confident, supported, and excited to learn — building the skills that will guide them throughout their education.
More open houses are coming soon, and we would love to welcome your family.
📍 Upcoming Open Houses
St. Dominic – April 9 (9–11 AM)
Holy Cross – April 9 (1–3 PM)
Light of Christ – April 16 (8:30–10:30 AM)
Holy Family – April 16 (1–3 PM)

Today, EAL students at École Notre Dame Elementary and Dr. Brosseau School learned about the story of St. Patrick and how he used the shamrock to help teach the mystery of the Holy Trinity. Just as three leaves form one shamrock, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct yet united as one God.

Our Grade 2 students recently visited Extendicare to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the residents through a variety of festive activities. In alignment with Priority 1, this visit allowed our students to practice genuine kindness and show heartfelt care for the elderly, as Jesus taught us.
