We begin Catholic Education Week with gratitude for the gift of Catholic education and the impact it has on our students, families, and school communities.

At Lakeland Catholic, we are proud to be part of a faith-filled learning environment where students are supported to grow in knowledge, in character, and in their relationship with Christ.

“We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul…”
—Hebrews 6:19

Throughout the week, we will celebrate what makes Catholic education meaningful and the ways it continues to shape the lives of our students each day.

Recognizing Our Principals

On May 1, we marked Principal Appreciation Day—a time to recognize the work our principals do across Lakeland Catholic.

Our principals are entrusted with the care and direction of their school communities. They support staff, guide students, and help ensure each school is a place where learning, faith, and belonging are present every day.

Their work is thoughtful and constant–shaped by attention to detail, long hours, and a steady commitment to keeping their schools running smoothly and with purpose.

We are grateful for each of our principals and the excellence they bring to our schools. Thank you for your continued service to Lakeland Catholic.

Assumption teachers, educational assistants, custodians, and support staff are hard at work today looking at strategies for improvement to embed in our School Assurance Plan.

Staff members are hard at work looking for data-driven ways to improve our four priority areas as a school: Our Catholic Christian Identity, Student Success, Inclusion, Equity and Wellness, and Organizational Excellence.

Their work today will form the foundation of our 2026-2027 School Assurance Plan that we can't wait to share with our community.

🌎 Stewardship of Creation

God has entrusted us with the gift of creation, and we are called to care for it with gratitude and responsibility.

Stewardship of Creation reminds us that caring for the Earth is part of living our faith. Through our actions, we honour God’s creation and protect it for future generations.

As a Catholic community, we are called to be good stewards – caring for our common home with love, respect, and intention.
