About Us
At Annunciation Catholic School, our Catholic faith is central to everything we do. It shapes our daily routines and sets us apart as “a school with a difference.” This faith-based foundation unites our diverse community.
Safe and Welcoming Environment
We prioritize safety and well-being for all. Our safe arrival program, code of behaviour, and regular communication through newsletters, assemblies, and the Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC) promote a respectful and caring school culture.
Inclusive Education
We support diverse learning needs through regular programming, special education, and English as Second Language services. Our School-Based Support Team meets regularly to monitor student progress, with input from families. Gifted students in Grades 5–8 attend a local gifted centre one day a week.
Student Life
We offer a wide range of co-curricular and extracurricular activities to nurture student talents and interests. These include:
Events: General knowledge tournaments, Carnaval d’hiver, choir, talent show
Sports: Soccer, basketball, volleyball, skating, hockey, cross-country, track and field, and a parent-supported swim team
Religious Education
Religious education is taught at all grade levels, but it’s the message of Christ that truly guides our attitudes and interactions. We emphasize the dignity and worth of every individual, fostering a culture of respect and inclusion.
The Gospel message is shared through daily prayer, liturgical celebrations, and school-wide initiatives. Whether in classrooms, assemblies, or charitable activities, we encourage students and staff to live out Gospel values and be peacemakers.
Our strong relationship with Annunciation Parish enriches school life. Staff work closely with parish leaders to support students in preparing for the sacraments, strengthening the bond between school and church.
School History
Annunciation Catholic School opened in 1965 to serve families in a neighbourhood developed in the early 1960s. The school community later expanded to welcome students from the Our Lady of Wisdom Catholic School area who preferred not to enrol in early French immersion.
We are known for our strong academic performance and active student participation in a wide range of co-curricular and extracurricular programs.
Our Name and Identity
The school is named in honour of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary by the Angel Gabriel. A student-created mural depicting this sacred event is proudly displayed in our foyer.
