About Us
At St. Bartholomew Catholic School, we pride ourselves on the strong partnership that exists among the home, the school and the parish.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to help our students become discerning believers formed in the Catholic Faith Community who will become effective communicators, reflective and creative thinkers, self-directed, responsible life long learners, collaborative contributors, caring family members, and responsible citizens.
Catholic Faith and Student Well-Being
We provide a faith-filled Catholic environment where prayer, worship, and Gospel values are part of daily school life. Students begin and end each day with prayer and participate in Scripture readings, religious art, classroom celebrations, church visits, student-led liturgies, and regular school Masses, with parents warmly welcomed. Catholic values are integrated throughout our curriculum and community, supported by Family Life and Religious Education programs and resources for families.
We are committed to a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment where students are encouraged to make positive choices and take responsibility for their actions. Behavioural concerns are addressed through reflection, accountability, and opportunities for social and spiritual growth, while positive behaviour is celebrated through monthly Virtue of the Month assemblies. Our Safe Arrival Program helps ensure student safety, and parents and guardians are asked to notify the school office by 9:15 a.m. if their child will be absent.
Our School History and Tradition
Opened in 1969, our school has proudly served generations of students and families. We are named after St. Bartholomew, also known as Nathaniel, one of the first followers of Jesus, and celebrated our 40th anniversary on September 12, 2009.
We maintain a close and longstanding partnership with St. Bartholomew Church. Our parish pastors work closely with the school community, and the close proximity of the school and church continues to strengthen this important relationship.
