  As the school year nears an end, during this beautiful season of summer, God will give us the opportunity to spend time in the outdoors, admiring nature and all its beauty.

Let us reflect upon what seeds we have planted and nurtured this school year in our inner gardens and in the hearts of others.

Gracious Gardener,

How wondrously You care for my soil,

You send Your waters of refreshment.

You fertilize me with Your wisdom.

You warm me with Your tender kindness.

You keep drawing us toward your light.

New growth continually sprouts

From the soil of my spiritual garden.

Flowers of creativity bloom.

Herbs of joy flavour my days.

Vegetables of nourishment flourish.

Gracious gardener,

I trust that You will continually

Water my growing garden

And drench my flower beds

With Your abiding love.

Amen 

           I would like to wish each of you a wonderful summer, hoping that you will have an opportunity to spend time with friends and family. Before we know it, it will be September and we will be speaking of back-to-school.

Cherish every moment of the summer. 

Sean Crookshank, Principal

Report Cards

Just a friendly reminder that Report Cards and IEPs were published to the parent portal yesterday, June 26, 2024.

School Council

Next year we are hoping to start up our Catholic School Council. More information will be sent home in September.

Staff and Students that are leaving us.

We wish our leaving staff and students success in their future. Their time at OLMC was appreciated by all and we do hope they know that they are always welcome to come back to visit us and for our graduating 6s, to look at their class photograph on our wall.  We enjoy hearing from you. 

Stay safe everyone and blessing to all.

Age altering filters mislead victims – blog post with information for parents/caregivers

On March 30th, C3P released a new blog post on our ProtectKidsOnline.ca website that includes information about face-altering filters, as well as tips for parents and caregivers to have conversations with their tweens/teens. To help schools share this information with families, we have created a ready-to-use social media post: https://www.kidsintheknow.ca/app/en/social_media.

Online Risks and Trends – video

In support of schools looking for online safety information to share with parents/caregivers, we have created short video titled Safeguarding Children and Youth: Online Risks and Trends. Some schools have shared this information with caregivers in newsletters, by email, or on social media. We also have designed web images that can be used to link directly from school websites.

Intervention and Support Services – videos, resources, support

C3P offers support services to those who have been victimized online. Our new survivor and family support services webpage provides information, resources, and specialized help when a youth has been victimized through the use of technology.

·         Staff and families can contact Cybertip.ca to consult – this may include instances where unsolicited and unwanted sexual actions and behaviours are directed towards youth online or where a nude or sexual image or video of a youth is online or circulating via technology

·         Youth and families can also seek support through NeedhelpNow.ca to connect with a member of our support services
