Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School has a rich history dating back to the early 1950s. Over the years, the original school building underwent several expansions before being replaced by our modern facility, completed in 2004. The new building continues to serve our thriving school community and is valued by students, staff, and families alike. Today, Our Lady of Fatima remains one of the area's larger schools, with more than 700 students.

We are a vibrant and inclusive community dedicated to nurturing the physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth of every student. This commitment is strengthened through the enduring partnership of home, parish, and school. Reflecting the diversity of our community, our students and families represent a wide range of cultures and backgrounds.

From our youngest learners in Kindergarten to our Grade 8 graduates, we strive to support the spiritual development of every student.

While each individual is unique, our Catholic faith unites students, staff, and families. Faith is celebrated throughout the school year through:

• School liturgies and Masses

• Eucharistic celebrations

• Special religious events and traditions

• Student choir performances and musical leadership

• Prayer and worship opportunities for all grade levels

Through the collaborative efforts of teachers, parents, and our parish pastor, students are encouraged to deepen their faith and celebrate God's presence in their lives.

Each month, students explore and reflect on a Christian virtue, including:

• Hospitality

• Gratitude

• Peace

• Charity

• Courage

• Love

• Forgiveness

• Justice

• Compassion

• Faithfulness

Students learn from role models such as saints, community members, and people in their everyday lives who embody these virtues. Respect for self and others is a cornerstone of our school culture, and students are supported in developing positive relationship and conflict-resolution skills.

The safety and well-being of our students are our highest priorities.

School rules and expectations are reviewed regularly to help ensure student safety:

• Travelling to and from school

• Riding the school bus

• Playground activities

• Lunch-hour routines

• General school conduct

We also promote active and healthy lifestyles through:

• Daily outdoor play

• Physical education programs

• Intramural sports

• Competitive athletic opportunities

Our Health Action Team (HAT), made up of students and staff, actively promotes healthy living and wellness initiatives throughout the school.

The staff and parents of Our Lady of Fatima are committed to fostering a culture of high expectations and continuous improvement.

Teachers work collaboratively to:

• Review student achievement and progress
