Welcome Message from the Director of Education

On behalf of the Durham Catholic District School Board, I am pleased to welcome your family into our Catholic learning community. Entering Kindergarten is an important milestone in the life of a child and can sometimes cause anxiety for families. Our dedicated educators will work together with you to ensure a positive transition for your little one. In Catholic education, we believe in the fundamental trinity between home, school and the Church. By registering your child at a Durham Catholic school, you have chosen a learning environment that is rooted in the faith and supported by a caring Christian community. Our mission is to “celebrate and nurture the God-given talents of each student as we serve with excellence in the light of Christ.” We are guided in this mission by our common commitment to support our students as they strive to attain the Ontario Catholic Graduate Expectations.

In our Catholic schools, we embrace the belief that children are curious, capable and competent and endeavour to create safe and welcoming Kindergarten classrooms where children learn through play. Our focus on teaching the curriculum through the light of the Gospel from Kindergarten through secondary school is what makes us unique. As part of this faith development, in conjunction with our parishes, your child will be invited and prepared to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist in Grade 2 and Sacrament of Confirmation in Grade 7. Thank you for entrusting your child’s education with us — we are honoured to be a part of your family’s life. Through our new strategic plan,  Discovery 2023 — Renewing the Vision,  we have affirmed our ongoing commitment to  Excellence, Equity and Engagement.   We look forward to your child’s journey of Learning and Living in Faith.

Yours in Faith,

Tracy Barill, Director of Education
