About Us
At St. Bruno/St. Raymond Catholic School, we celebrate the unique gifts and talents of every student and support their intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual growth within a safe, welcoming, and faith-filled community. In partnership with students, families, parishes, and the wider community, we integrate Catholic beliefs and Gospel values throughout the learning experience while providing religious, academic, and technological instruction and ongoing feedback to support student success.
We envision students who are grounded in their Catholic faith, apply Christian values to life’s opportunities and challenges, pursue academic excellence, and strive to reach their full potential. We encourage students to develop confidence, personal and family wellness, relevant knowledge and skills, and a strong sense of global and community responsibility.
Supporting Student Success and Growth
At St. Bruno/St. Raymond Catholic School, we are committed to meeting the diverse needs of our students within a faith-filled, safe, and welcoming environment. Catholic faith is woven throughout school life through prayer, reflection, Masses and liturgies, acts of charity, mission projects, feast day celebrations, and visible expressions of faith. Our Behaviour Code and peace education program promote respect, responsibility, positive relationships, peaceful conflict resolution, and an inclusive school community, supported by Safe Arrival practices and communication with families.
We offer a wide range of co-curricular opportunities, including clubs, choir, chess, house leagues, team sports, arts, drama, concerts, field trips, charitable activities, and community initiatives. Through ongoing professional development, updated learning resources, technology-based learning, and the support of our Parent Teacher Association, we enhance student learning and engagement.
We recognize that every student has unique learning needs and provide individualized support through special education, enrichment, peer tutoring, small-group and individual instruction, and cooperative learning. We continually adapt our programs to help students succeed and develop the knowledge, skills, and values needed to navigate a complex and changing world.
St. Bruno School History and Tradition
St. Bruno Catholic School has a rich history rooted in faith, resilience, growth, and community. Originally an extension of St. Mary of the Angels Catholic School, the school began with six portables before becoming a separate school community in March 1974. As enrollment grew, students were temporarily accommodated at several locations, including St. Mary of the Angels Church basement, St. Patrick’s, and St. Paul’s. In March 1976, students moved to a portable school on Melita Avenue, followed by the opening of a permanent, barrier-free facility at 402 Melita Crescent in December 1980.
The school is named after St. Bruno, born around 1038 in Cologne, Germany. A scholar and priest, he founded the Carthusian Order, known for prayer, contemplation, and simplicity, and dedicated his life to faith and service. His example continues to inspire a strong tradition of faith, learning, and community.
St. Raymond School History and Tradition
St. Raymond Catholic School opened in 1964 and for more than 50 years nurtured students from diverse cultural backgrounds in a welcoming and inclusive community. The school strengthens its Catholic identity through school Masses, peace education initiatives, and shared celebrations that brought the community together.
Named after St. Raymond, born in 1175 in Peñafort, Catalonia, the school reflects his example of deep faith, compassion, and service to those in need. His life and legendary journey across the sea inspires students to trust in God and help others. St. Raymond Catholic School remains committed to supporting students’ academic, spiritual, and personal growth while fostering a strong sense of community.
