To the Assumption Graduating Class of 2025,
As you close one chapter and prepare to begin the next, we celebrate not only your academic achievements but also the character, faith, and resilience you have shown along the way. You have grown into young leaders guided by compassion, strengthened by community, and anchored in Christ’s love. As you step into the world beyond our halls, may you carry with you the values of faith, hope, and service. Remember that true success is not measured by titles or trophies, but by the light you bring to others and the courage you show in doing what is right. You were made for a purpose. Walk boldly in that truth. Trust in God’s plan, lean into the journey ahead, and know that your Assumption family will always be cheering you on.
With pride and prayers,
The Staff and Community of Assumption School

Today is World Catholic Education Day!
Lakeland Catholic celebrates the sacred mission of Catholic education - where faith is lived, truth is boldly upheld, and Christ is the centre of all we do.
We give thanks for the gift of publicly funded Catholic education, where students are formed in mind, body, and spirit.
Lakeland Catholic prays for all students, staff, families, and leaders who witness the Gospel each day through teaching, learning, and service.
May the Holy Spirit continue to guide our schools in wisdom, grace, and truth.
**IMPORTANT **
Physical tickets are required to enter the band concert tomorrow. We are unable to electronically verify tickets. Ensure you have picked up your tickets from the school before heading to the show.
Congratulations to our Senior Band! What a remarkable achievement!
This Thursday, May 29, we invite all school communities to wear blue in honour of World Catholic Education Day and in devotion to Mary, Mother of God.
In the Catholic tradition, blue symbolizes piety, sincerity, and the faithful motherhood of Mary.
As Catholic educators, we look to Mary as our model - gentle in love, bold in faith, and devoted to her Son, our saviour, Jesus Christ.
Join Lakeland Catholic on Thursday May 29 for World Catholic Education Day! Celebrated 40 days after Easter, on the Feast of the Ascension. On this day, we honour the sacred mission of Catholic education, where academic excellence and spiritual formation walk hand in hand.
From the earliest learners to graduating leaders, Catholic schools help students discover their identity as beloved children of God.
Let us rejoice in the gift of Catholic education - shared in classrooms, lived in faith, and led by Christ.
