You belong here.
As we begin this new school year, our greatest priority is ensuring every student, family, and staff member feels safe, known, valued, and loved. This year, our spiritual theme is rooted in the Gospel of Luke, Martha and Mary’s Welcome, which calls us to balance busy-ness with presence in our faith and to practice profound hospitality, dignity, and deep care for one another. We want our schools to be places of radical welcome, where every person who walks through our doors experiences a genuine sense of belonging and safety from their very first encounter with us.
The start of a new school year is always a busy time of transition, filled with new routines, excitement, and lots of moving parts. As we settle into the rhythm of the year and navigate these first few weeks of adjustments, please know that our entire team is here to support you with patience, compassion, and care. We are committed to making sure your family feels supported every step of the way.
To our students: we can’t wait to see what you will discover and the gifts you will share.
To our families: thank you for trusting us with your children's education, faith formation, and well-being.
To our staff: thank you for the joy, excellence, and dedication you bring to your vocation every single day.
Here is to a beautiful year of learning, growing, and serving together.
Let Your Light Shine.
God bless you in the wonderful year ahead,
Karyn Bruneel
CEO/CEdO, BGCDSB
