In September, our Lakeland Catholic schools spent time reflecting on the Catholic Social Teaching of Human Dignity—reminding us that every person is created in God’s image and deserves respect, care, and compassion.
As October begins, our focus turns to The Common Good. This teaching calls us to look beyond ourselves and work together so that every person has the chance to thrive.
You can learn more about all of the Catholic Social Teachings, along with helpful resources for your family, at: https://www.lrcssd.ca/page/catholic-social-teachings

Today, students at École Notre Dame Elementary, École Dr. Brosseau Middle School, and École Notre Dame High School held their first fire drills of the year. These practices ensure that, in an emergency, every student knows where to go and what to do.
