At St. Lawrence Catholic School, we pride ourselves on the strong partnership between home, school, and parish. Together, we provide a welcoming Catholic learning environment where every student is encouraged to grow in faith, knowledge, and character.

Catholic teachings, Gospel values, and faith development are an integral part of daily school life. Through Religious Education, Family Life programs, and values education, students build a strong foundation in their Catholic faith.

Throughout the year, students have opportunities to live their faith by participating in liturgical celebrations, food drives, ShareLife campaigns, and performances for seniors and patients in hospitals.

St. Lawrence Catholic School offers programs from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 that are aligned with Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum expectations.

We support the diverse needs of our students through programs for exceptional learners, Special Education, behavioural needs, multi-handicapped students, and English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. Instruction includes teacher-directed and student-directed learning, as well as large group, small group, and individual activities.

Computers in classrooms help students develop technology skills and integrate digital learning into their daily work.

Hands-on learning experiences with building materials and mechanical devices encourage students to explore mathematical and scientific concepts through active learning.

Student safety is a priority at St. Lawrence Catholic School. Our safe arrival program helps ensure every student is accounted for each day.

Parents are asked to notify the school if their child will be absent. If an absence has not been reported, staff will contact parents as part of the school's safe arrival procedures.

Our Code of Student Behaviour was developed through the collaboration of staff, students, and parents. Together with our parish community, we are committed to fostering a caring, respectful, and nurturing learning environment.

The code outlines expectations for students and provides important information for families. It is included in the Parent/Student Handbook.

St. Lawrence Catholic School opened in 1956. As the community grew, six classrooms were added in 1962, followed by a second expansion in 1966 that included a double kindergarten room, a library, and a gymnasium.

In August 1994, the first phase of the school's site improvement plan was completed. The project included widening the bus lane and creating a safer bus pick-up zone at the front of the school.

The school is named after St. Lawrence, one of the most venerated martyrs of the Roman Catholic Church. He is remembered for his service to others, especially those in need, and is the patron saint of Rome, cooks, and the poor.

St. Lawrence Catholic School has a long tradition of welcoming newcomers to Canada. More than 37% of our students were born outside Canada, and 43% speak a language other than English at home.

To support our diverse community, the school offers English as a Second Language (ESL) programs, a variety of specialized classes and services, and has also hosted adult ESL classes on weekends and during the summer months.
