Creating Communities of Peace

As a Catholic School Board, it is our purpose to create safe, inclusive, and accepting community schools, which respect individuality, celebrate harmony, and strive to promote and develop responsible behaviour based on Gospel values and shared discipleship. As educators, support staff, parents, and students, we are called to respond with care and concern. The face of God is shown in each of our children. Our school community should feel safe and secure so that we can work together and support each other in a positive school climate.

At Holy Cross Catholic School, we teach and model kindness, empathy, and conflict resolution, while celebrating diversity and encouraging inclusion. By promoting open communication, collaboration, and restorative practices, schools can nurture positive relationships and a shared sense of responsibility. These efforts help students develop the skills to contribute not only to a peaceful school, but also to a more compassionate and just society.

Our school community will assist you in solving problems and protecting your right to learn. We are extremely happy to have the opportunity to work with you to share the Peace of Christ and to Create Communities of Peace.
