Mission Statement

The staff at St. Mary Catholic Elementary School is dedicated to providing the best education possible for each and every child in our care.  We will endeavour to create an atmosphere that will address the spiritual, intellectual, physical, social and emotional needs of your child while providing them with the basic skills, intellectual honesty and social conscience that will allow them to face the uncertain challenges of the future with hope and confidence.  Christ will show us the way and our children will lead.  Students, parents and teachers should unite to work as a community for the betterment of all.  Our school is your school.

We expect:

• Students to experience success and to acquire self-confidence, self-direction and independence.
• Students to develop respect and trust for themselves, others and their environment.
• Students to learn the skills needed to be successful and responsible citizens.
• Parent and community involvement in our students’ education.
• Educators to provide and use the best instructional strategies that address individual needs of students.

We  believe:

1. In the development of the whole child – academically, physically, aesthetically, emotionally and socially.
2. In heterogeneous grouping and multi-age organization of students and uniqueness of each individual.
3. In dedicated and highly trained educators.
4. Schools and educators can make a difference in a child’s life.
5. That all students can learn and achieve.

We expect teachers to teach, students to learn, parents to participate and the community to support our school in order to meet our mission.
