At St. Benedict Catholic School, our dedicated staff is committed to excellence as we support students in their faith journey and encourage growth in academics, the arts, and athletics. We celebrate the many gifts and talents of our students, which are reflected in their participation in liturgical celebrations, co-curricular activities, sports teams, clubs, and service initiatives.

We encourage students to live out their faith through acts of kindness, community outreach, and service initiatives such as food drives, recycling programs, and support for the Angel Foundation for Learning and other charitable organizations. These experiences foster compassion, leadership, and a commitment to building a caring community.

We are blessed with a strong partnership with St. Benedict Parish, working together to nurture students’ faith through prayer, the sacraments, and a commitment to social justice. We also value parents and guardians as active partners who contribute through Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC), family events, classroom support, excursions, and fundraising.

Through the dedication of our staff, students, families, volunteers, and community partners, we continue to grow together in faith, learning, and service.

The Catholic community of St. Benedict believes that by demonstrating our faith in God and respect for each other, we can create a safe, caring and collaborative environment that promotes life-long learning and celebrates the uniqueness of all individuals.

Our Catholic environment is rooted in Jesus’ two great commandments: love of God and love of neighbour. Catholic values are woven throughout daily school life through prayer, liturgical celebrations, our St. Benedict Code of Respect and Safety, the Peacemakers Program, the curriculum, and positive relationships. Our faith-filled community promotes a safe, welcoming environment where students learn patience, respect, responsibility, and care for others while growing in the image of Christ.

We offer a variety of programs to meet students’ individual needs and interests, including Special Education, Instrumental and Vocal Music, Extended French, French as a Second Language (FSL), French Immersion, Behaviour, and Empower programs. Computer literacy is also a priority, supported by our Computer Committee and Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC).

Students can further develop their talents, confidence, teamwork, and leadership through co-curricular opportunities such as music, drama, arts and crafts, chess, W5H, House Leagues, and a range of sports including volleyball, basketball, soccer, baseball, track and field, and cross-country.

Opening on September 6, 1957, with 333 students and nine teachers, our school has grown alongside the community it serves. By 1963, a new 25-classroom building had been completed to accommodate 913 students, and enrolment exceeded 1,000 the following year. Since then, we have continued to expand and improve our facilities to meet the changing needs of our students.

Named after St. Benedict of Nursia, whose feast day is celebrated on July 11, our school is inspired by his example of faith, wisdom, and service. Our motto, “Pray and work,” reflects our Catholic tradition and continues to guide generations of students, families, staff, and clergy in nurturing faith and developing responsible, compassionate members of society.
