Faith

Unique to the Catholic school is the capacity of its teachers to model and witness the Catholic faith to students. Through the spirituality of communion and the permeation of faith and wisdom within pedagogy and curricular content, our students experience what it means to live like Jesus. Therefore formal, intentional, and visible supports should be in place within the Catholic school so that its teachers provide optimal faith based learning experiences for students. The school chaplain plays an essential role in supporting the principal and all staff in realizing these outcomes for our schools.

As ongoing priorities for our schools, our parish team will work in cooperation with administration and staff to:

• Create opportunities for the involvement of all students in classroom-based faith activities, being especially conscious of incorporating otherwise marginalized students;
• Foster positive interpersonal relationships among students and staff to promote a sense of mutual trust and belonging;
• Strive to identify and call forth the individual gifts of students and inviting them to put those gifts at the service of the common good;
• Build partnerships with the home and parish in an effort to create an inclusive, holistic and hospitable Catholic school community:
• Evangelize through a love for wisdom and truth, and an integration of faith, culture, and life. Furthering for students a Catholic perspective of learning and life.
