Participation reminds us that we are called to be active members of our communities—working together, supporting one another, and contributing to the common good.
April’s Catholic Social Teaching highlights the importance of each person’s voice and the responsibility we share in building strong, caring communities. It reminds us that everyone has a role to play, and that each contribution matters.
In our schools, Participation is reflected in the ways students engage in learning, share their ideas, support their peers, and take part in school life. It fosters a strong sense of belonging, responsibility, and connection.

Happy International Women’s Day.
Today, Lakeland Catholic honours the women in our division, our schools, and our communities who lead with faith and serve with great love — often through the small, faithful acts that shape lives in lasting ways.
“The Lord bless you, my daughter. You are known as a woman of noble character.” – Ruth 3:11
May we continue to recognize and support the women whose dedication, wisdom, and compassion strengthen our schools and support student success each day.

Subsidiarity and the Role of Government reminds us that decisions should be made by those closest to the situation, with support from larger systems when needed.
March’s Catholic Social Teaching calls us to recognize the importance of local voices, shared responsibility, and collaborative leadership. It teaches that while governments and institutions play an essential role in supporting the common good, they should not replace the wisdom, initiative, and dignity of individuals, families, and communities.
In our schools, Subsidiarity is reflected when we empower students, families, staff, and school leaders to contribute to decisions that affect them. It encourages us to work together, and supporting one another at the appropriate level. Solutions are thoughtful, responsive, and rooted in community.

Congratulations to Grade 12 student Lachlan Gillis on successfully completing his Green Certificate in Cow-Calf Operation through Alberta Agriculture.
Through hands-on agricultural training, Lachlan developed strong skills in livestock management, herd health, pasture management, and daily cow-calf operations. He also strengthened essential life skills — responsibility, perseverance, time management, and respect for the land.
The Green Certificate Program allows students to earn high school credits while gaining meaningful industry experience, preparing them for future careers in agriculture and beyond.
We are incredibly proud of Lachlan’s commitment and the leadership he has shown through this off-campus learning opportunity. His achievement reflects the strength of experiential learning at École Notre Dame High School.
🌾👏 Congratulations, Lachlan!

Celebrating Francophone Culture at Lakeland Catholic🇫🇷
École Notre Dame High School proudly welcomed Michél Bénac, lead singer of the Franco-Ontarian band LGS, for a special presentation delivered entirely in French — a true treat for our French Immersion students.
Alongside students from Dr. Brosseau School, learners had the opportunity to experience music, storytelling, and cultural reflection all in French! Michél shared his personal journey, beginning his career in English before recognizing that his path was rooted in French culture and the importance of strengthening Francophone communities across Canada.
This meaningful experience was made possible through our partnership with the ACFA Régionale de Bonnyville–Cold Lake (Association canadienne-française de l’Alberta), whose support continues to enrich French-language opportunities in our region.
Authentic language experiences like this deepen confidence, cultural pride, and connection for our students.

Doing Small Things with Great Love — Every Day!
At Lakeland Catholic, safety and belonging are lived daily in our classrooms and hallways.
A greeting by name.
An invitation to belong.
A kind word.
Standing beside someone who feels alone.
Because every child is created in the image and likeness of God, dignity is inherent and belonging is intentional.
This is how we form hearts in Christ — by doing small things with great love, every day.
Christ our Model. Children our Focus.
