Welcome to a Year of Hope
“You are the hope of the Church and of the world. You are my hope.” – Saint John Paul II
It is a pleasure to welcome students and staff back to school this September as we continue to focus on our mission, vision and values with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of everything we do in our Catholic school system.
Celebrating the Year of Hope encourages us to look at our mission with faith in our hearts and gratitude for our students, staff, families, trustees, Catholic leaders and community partners. Together, we are called to celebrate and nurture the God-given talents of each student as we serve with excellence in the light of Christ.
As we transition to the 2019-2020 school year, we are excited to serve new and returning students as they learn, grow and connect as a Catholic community. We encourage parents and guardians to continue to be involved in your child’s education journey, and stay informed by subscribing to news and calendars on school websites. The Durham Catholic Parent Involvement Committee (DCPIC) and individual Catholic School Councils also provide great opportunities engage with your school community through monthly meetings, events and activities.
In September, we look forward to launching the new multi-year plan, which draws on the goals and achievements documented through the Discovery 2020 Strategic Plan and accompanying reports. Centred on Renewing the Promise: A Pastoral Letter for Catholic Education, and the current Ministry of Education’s priorities, the new plan demonstrates our commitment to excellence, equity and engagement, and will guide us as we provide quality Catholic education focused on faith, well-being, 21st century learning, and pathways planning.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and Senior Administrative Team, we extend a warm welcome to wish everyone in our Durham Catholic learning community a safe and joyful return to school this September.
Yours in Catholic Education,
John Rinella Anne O'Brien
Chair of the Board Director of Education
