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! 💙

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.
