Today is World Catholic Education Day!
Lakeland Catholic celebrates the sacred mission of Catholic education - where faith is lived, truth is boldly upheld, and Christ is the centre of all we do.
We give thanks for the gift of publicly funded Catholic education, where students are formed in mind, body, and spirit.
Lakeland Catholic prays for all students, staff, families, and leaders who witness the Gospel each day through teaching, learning, and service.
May the Holy Spirit continue to guide our schools in wisdom, grace, and truth.
This Thursday, May 29, we invite all school communities to wear blue in honour of World Catholic Education Day and in devotion to Mary, Mother of God.
In the Catholic tradition, blue symbolizes piety, sincerity, and the faithful motherhood of Mary.
As Catholic educators, we look to Mary as our model - gentle in love, bold in faith, and devoted to her Son, our saviour, Jesus Christ.
Join Lakeland Catholic on Thursday May 29 for World Catholic Education Day! Celebrated 40 days after Easter, on the Feast of the Ascension. On this day, we honour the sacred mission of Catholic education, where academic excellence and spiritual formation walk hand in hand.
From the earliest learners to graduating leaders, Catholic schools help students discover their identity as beloved children of God.
Let us rejoice in the gift of Catholic education - shared in classrooms, lived in faith, and led by Christ.
Track & Field Day at NDH & AJSH!
Despite the cold temperatures, students from Notre Dame High and Assumption Jr/Sr High hit the track at Walsh Field with determination and spirit. From hurdles to long jumps, it was a day full of energy, effort, and school pride - rain, wind, and all! Thank you to all the students, staff, and volunteers who braved the chilly weather!
With joyful hearts, Lakeland Catholic Schools welcome Pope Leo XIV as the successor of St. Peter. As a new shepherd for our time, we pray that his papacy be anchored in the teachings of Christ and a beacon of hope to the faithful.
