• Library Partnerships: Small group learning is supported through collaboration with the school librarian.

• Technology Integration: A computer literacy plan is in place to build digital skills.

• Literacy Focus: Primary division emphasizes literacy development.

• Social Development: Peace education and social skills programs promote interpersonal and problem-solving abilities.

Students can explore a wide range of interests, including:

• Sports and the Arts: Opportunities in athletics, arts and crafts, drama, and music.

• Clubs and Teams: Participation in chess club and W5H team.

• Language Learning: All students take part in international language programs as part of our extended day offerings.

We prioritize student well-being through:

• Clear Expectations: Codes of conduct and consequences are discussed at divisional assemblies.

• Open Communication: Students and parents are encouraged to share concerns.

• Health and Safety Protocols: Anaphylaxis training and protocols are in place to address allergy-related issues.

St. Jude fosters a strong Catholic identity through:

• Community and School Masses: Regular celebrations, including child-focused masses for smaller groups.

• Clergy Visits: Frequent visits from parish clergy.

• Active Prayer Life: Daily prayer and spiritual reflection are integral to school life.

• Visible Faith Symbols: Crucifixes, holy images, and displays highlight our commitment to faith and good works.

St. Jude Catholic School has been a cornerstone of the parish community since its opening in 1960. By 1964, rapid growth led to split school shifts—morning (8:00 AM–12:00 PM) and afternoon (1:00 PM–5:00 PM)—with some students temporarily bussed to other schools during expansion. To meet increasing demand, nearby schools such as St. Jane Frances and St. Simon were later established. At its peak, St. Jude served over 1,000 students.

School additions over the years include a gym, library, staff room, and an extended wing beyond the library.

St. Jude graduates have gone on to become federal ministers, professionals, trades people, and community leaders. Many alumni return to share their appreciation for the school’s nurturing environment and strong sense of community.

Dedicated to St. Jude, one of the Twelve Apostles, the school honors his legacy as the “helper of the hopeless” and the “saint of the impossible.” In October, we unveiled a new honour roll, blessed by Auxiliary Bishop Prendergast S.J. during his pastoral visit. It features images of St. Jude and St. Francis, along with prayers in English, Spanish, and Italian—serving as daily reminders that with faith, all things are possible.
