October is the month we reflect on the Catholic Social Teaching of the Common Good.
As the school year unfolds, students, staff, and families continue building strong relationships rooted in faith, kindness, and collaboration. At Lakeland Catholic School Division, we know that when we work together and care for one another, our entire school community grows stronger.
This month's Catholic Social Teaching reminds us:
Each person is social, called to participate in family and community. We are all connected and so we need to work for the good of all.
Together, we can create welcoming school communities where everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and flourish.

Today, Lakeland Catholic School Division honours the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities who continue to carry the impacts of the residential school system.
As a Catholic learning community, our faith calls us to recognize the dignity of every person. Guided by this commitment, Lakeland Catholic remains dedicated to listening, learning and building relationships rooted in respect, truth and reconciliation within our schools and communities.
Every Child Matters.
“To do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” — Micah 6:8

We are grateful to Fr. René for celebrating Mass with our students and helping begin the day centred in Christ. Students then took part in group discussions exploring what it means to be Chosen by God, Made for More, and the life of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, Patron Saint of Indigenous Peoples.
The day continued with lunch, games and Praise & Worship before each school’s IGNITE team came together to plan how they will help lead faith formation within their school communities throughout the year.
We can’t wait to see how these student leaders bring their faith, ideas and energy back to their schools!

Staff & Parent Information Night
October 1 | St. Dominic Elementary
Staff: 3:45–4:45 p.m.
Families: 5:30–6:30 p.m.
Learning together. Growing together. Leading with purpose.
Today, staff across Lakeland Catholic came together for Pathways to Excellence, a Division-wide professional learning day grounded in faith, relationship and a shared commitment to the students we serve.
The day began with faith formation centred on St. Gregory the Great and Dorothy Day, inviting staff to reflect on their vocation as Catholic educators and the responsibility that comes with being entrusted with the learning, growth and well-being of students. Through their examples of servant leadership, compassion and accompaniment, staff reflected on what it means to truly know the students in their care, to recognize the dignity of each person and to see Christ in those before us. It was an opportunity to consider how our Catholic faith shapes not only what we do, but how we show up for one another and for our students each day.
Staff then came together in Communities of Practice, creating dedicated space to learn with and from colleagues, share expertise and engage in the thoughtful, collaborative work that strengthens teaching and learning across our schools.
As we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the afternoon placed a meaningful focus on Indigenous Relations and Indigenous Ways of Knowing. Staff participated in a Division-wide session with Jason J Bigcharles, Indigenous storyteller and leader in the development of Indigenous Culture Based Learning, before continuing their learning within schools alongside Indigenous Elders, Knowledge Keepers and community partners.
Pathways to Excellence reflects the kind of learning we value at Lakeland Catholic: faith-filled, relational and purposeful. This time allows our staff to deepen their vocation as Catholic educators, learn alongside one another, build meaningful relationships and better understand the students and communities they are called to serve.
Christ our model. Children our focus.
#GreatLoveLCSD #PathwaysToExcellence #TruthAndReconciliation
Together, teachers and students put these approaches into action, bringing learning, movement and wellness to life!

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.
