At Lakeland Catholic, we believe that every person is created in the image and likeness of God. That means everyone deserves dignity, kindness, respect, and a sense of belonging. Together, students learned and practised practical ways to ensure our school is a safe, inclusive, and caring environment for all.
This powerful learning directly connects to our Division Faith Theme:
“Let all that you do be done with love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14
A Special Thank You! 🙏
We extend our deepest gratitude to Lisa, Paola, and Oksana from Action for Healthy Communities for creating this wonderful presentation and speaking so impactfully to our youth. We also want to thank Sherry Depner, our Coordinator of Student Support and Wellness, for serving as the vital liaison between this incredible organization and our schools.
Thank you to our community partners, staff, and Grade 7 students for leading with love and building a community where everyone belongs! 💙

Every day in our schools, we witness quiet moments that often go unnoticed—a student helping a classmate, a teacher offering encouragement, a bus driver greeting each child by name, or a staff member taking the time to listen.
While these moments may seem ordinary, they help create welcoming, faith-filled school communities where every person is valued, supported, and loved.
As we begin another school year, may we continue to follow her example by serving others with joyful hearts and reflecting Christ's love in all that we do.
"Do small things with great love."
— St. Teresa of Calcutta

September is the month we reflect on the Catholic Social Teaching principle of Human Dignity.
At Lakeland Catholic School Division, we believe every person is created in the image and likeness of God. This belief shapes how we welcome one another, build relationships, and create learning environments where every student is known, valued, and respected.
This month's Catholic Social Teaching reminds us:
Each person is sacred, made in God's image to know, love and serve Him & deserve to be respected.
As we begin a new school year, may we remember that every interaction is an opportunity to honour the dignity of others and reflect Christ's love in our words and actions.

This week, Lakeland Catholic staff came together for our Division Learning Day, beginning with faith formation before moving into focused professional learning designed to strengthen practice and elevate student learning.
K–6 teachers explored equitable elementary assessment with Karley Alleyn, while Grades 7–12 teachers joined Danielle Paloposki of the Competency Code Collective to explore transforming assessment to better fuel student learning. Educational Assistants, Pre-K staff, SLPAs and Family Outreach Workers strengthened strategies for supportive, responsive interactions with students.
Different learning, shared commitment: continually growing, refining our practice and pursuing excellence for every student we serve.
Thank you to our facilitators and staff for investing in the learning that strengthens our classrooms and schools.

A joyful beginning to a new school year.
Today, Lakeland Catholic staff came together as one faith-filled community to begin the 2026–27 school year, grounded in prayer, strengthened through the Eucharist and reminded of the impact that small moments of love and joy can have each day.
The morning began with the Rosary, prayed in both English and French and led by Trustees Lana Lambert and Jean-Marc Michaud, followed by the celebration of Mass with Fr. René, Fr. Nong, Fr. Marvin and Fr. Trini.
From there, keynote speaker Steven Csorba of PEPY Life brought energy, inspiration and a powerful invitation to rediscover joy in the everyday. Through the Joy Movement, Steven challenged us to recognize the micro-moments that shape our days: a smile, a conversation, a small act of kindness, and the joy they create both within us and for those around us. When we intentionally notice these moments, their impact accumulates, shaping how we feel, how we connect and how we show up for others.
Steven also reflected on St. Francis’ teaching of “perfect joy,” reminding us that struggle and joy can coexist, and that even in difficult moments, there are still opportunities to recognize and experience joy.
The message connected beautifully with our Division faith theme, Doing Small Things with Great Love, reminding us that seemingly small moments, repeated day after day, can have a profound impact on ourselves and those around us.
We also had the opportunity to celebrate our long-service award recipients, recognizing staff for their years of dedicated service to Lakeland Catholic. We are grateful for the time, care and commitment they have given to our students, families and school communities. Congratulations, and thank you for the many ways you continue to make a difference.
The afternoon continued with professional learning across our Division. Teachers, administrators, Family Outreach Workers, Academic Support Program staff and secretaries participated in Atrieve training, while our Educational Assistants, Early Learning Educators, Speech-Language Pathology team and custodial staff continued their learning with Steven, exploring how joy, movement and intentional daily interactions can positively shape the experiences of the students we serve.
As we prepare to welcome students back, we carry a simple invitation into the year ahead: notice the joy, embrace the small moments and never underestimate the difference they can make.
Here’s to a joyful 2026–27 school year! ✨
