The Gift of Catholic Education

Publicly funded Catholic Education is one of the greatest gifts we share here in the province of Saskatchewan—an investment in the future of our children and our communities. It reflects a deep commitment to equal opportunity and the belief that every child deserves access to quality learning, regardless of their faith background or individual circumstance. In our schools, students not only develop academic skills but also grow in character, creativity, citizenship AND their faith.

As parents and guardians, your role in this partnership is critical. One of the most powerful ways you support your child’s success is by ensuring consistent attendance. Regular school attendance helps build routine, deepens understanding, and allows students to fully engage in classroom experiences that cannot be replaced easily.  Current research consistently shows a very strong link between attendance and achievement—students who attend regularly are more likely to meet academic expectations, develop strong peer relationships, and experience a sense of belonging.

When we work together—families, schools, and communities—we make the most of this incredible amazing gift. Let us continue to value Catholic Education as a shared responsibility and a foundation for lifelong success. By encouraging regular attendance and nurturing a positive attitude toward learning, we help our children realize their full potential. THANK YOU for entrusting your children to our care and for your ongoing support in making Catholic education a priority for them.
