Happy Family Day from all of us at Lakeland Catholic Schools.
Today, we give thanks for the gift of family, the place where we first learn love, forgiveness, faith, and service.
“As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
— Joshua 24:15
May this day be filled with gratitude and connection, rooted in the love we share as families and in keeping Christ at the centre of our homes and hearts.
Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.

At the centre of our faith is Jesus Christ, who teaches us what love truly looks like through sacrifice, mercy, and service.
“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14
In our classrooms, in our homes, and in our daily interactions, we are called to reflect His love in the way we care for one another.
St. Teresa of Calcutta reminds us:
“Do small things with great love.”
It is often these quiet, faithful acts that reveal Christ most clearly and shape our community in lasting ways.
May we continue to follow His example, placing Him at the heart of all we do.
Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.

Once enslaved, she later became a religious sister whose life reflected forgiveness, humility, and unwavering trust in God.
“May her example inspire us to carry our cross and to love always.”
At Lakeland Catholic, we are reminded that faith and action go hand in hand, and that compassion, dignity, and hope must guide all we do.
Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.

This Catholic Social Teaching calls us to consider how resources are shared, how work is valued, and how decisions impact those most in need. It challenges us to ensure that economic systems serve people and uphold human dignity.
In our schools, Economic Justice is reflected through responsible stewardship, fairness, and learning to make choices that respect the dignity of others.

These days begin with faith formation, grounding our work in the belief that Christ is our Model and children are our focus. Educators then come together to focus on literacy and numeracy, strengthen classroom practice, and share approaches that support student success across grades and schools.
Pathways to Excellence days are intentional and purposeful. They provide time for collaboration, reflection, and alignment so learning remains consistent, meaningful, and responsive to student needs.
This work matters. It supports teachers, strengthens classrooms, and directly benefits students — academically, socially, and spiritually.
