About Us
At Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic School, we are committed to academic excellence, faith development, and student well-being. We strive to create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment where every student is supported in reaching their full potential.
As our school community continues to grow, we remain focused on providing meaningful learning experiences, diverse extracurricular opportunities, and strong support systems that promote student achievement and personal growth.
Supporting Student Success
A number of school-based initiatives help foster student learning, well-being, and achievement:
School Improvement Team (SIT)
A team of teachers, led by the principal, who meet regularly to implement instructional strategies and initiatives that support student achievement.
Divisional Teams
Teachers collaborate within grade divisions:
Kindergarten to Grade 3
Grades 4 to 6
Grades 7 and 8
These teams regularly review student progress and share effective teaching practices.
Health Action Team (HAT)
A staff-led team dedicated to promoting student health, wellness, and physical activity.

Parenting and Family Literacy Centre
An important community resource that has supported students and families since 2008.
Faith, Family, and Parish Partnerships
We believe that the school, parish, and family each play an essential role in the education of Catholic students. Together, we work to create a faith-filled learning environment that nurtures:
A lifelong love of learning
Personal responsibility and self-discipline
Respect for self and others
Independent decision-making
Academic, social, and spiritual growth
Safe and Caring Learning Environment
Creating a safe and respectful school community is a shared responsibility.
Our Code of Conduct promotes positive behaviour and outlines expectations designed to support a secure and inclusive learning environment for all students.
Safe Arrival Program
Student safety is a priority. Parents are asked to notify the school when a child will be absent. If an absence has not been reported by 9:00 AM, school staff will contact parents or guardians to confirm the student's whereabouts.
Safety expectations for students travelling by school bus and on school property are regularly reinforced to ensure a safe and orderly environment.
Technology and Digital Learning
Technology is integrated throughout the curriculum to enhance student learning and build digital literacy skills.
Students use technology to:
Strengthen literacy and numeracy skills
Complete research and inquiry projects
Create written work, presentations, and multimedia projects
Develop problem-solving and independent learning skills
Technology supports learning across all grade levels and helps prepare students for success in an increasingly digital world.
