Principal's Message
I am delighted to have been named Principal of St. Rose Catholic Elementary School. It is an honour for me to serve the students, staff, and parents of this great community. Since I began my journey as Principal here at St. Rose, it feels much like coming home. I am thrilled to return to the “nest” and look forward to continuing to support the learning and growth of this beautiful school community! I am truly grateful for the very warm welcome I received from the students and staff when I visited in June, as well as from the families that I have encountered while settling back in. I look forward to getting to know each of you, and your children, in the coming months.
I believe that our Catholic schools provide a rich, faith-filled learning environment that supports each child in their spiritual journey. We help our students develop a moral compass and a set of values that will enable them to become responsible, contributing members of their community, as well as critical thinking, compassionate global citizens. I believe that every child can be successful with the appropriate support and encouragement. Our Catholic schools provide a safe, nurturing environment in which students can develop the confidence and skills necessary to be successful in whatever path they choose. We are preparing our students for jobs that are vastly different from the past, many of which do not yet exist, and we must work together with a strong vision in order to meet this challenge. I am committed to the spiritual, social, and academic development of each student. As leaders, we are called to know every student, to inspire them to follow the example of Jesus, and to empower them with the knowledge and skills they need to live purposeful, meaningful lives. We work together, with our parents as partners in this journey, since we all share the same goal of meeting the needs of our children and setting them up for success in school and in life.
Thank you for entrusting us with the care and development of what you value most in this world, your children. St. Rose Catholic Elementary School has been blessed with a very caring and dedicated staff. I look forward to supporting our focus on academic excellence, and working with staff to refine our practice to ensure that every student reaches his/her potential.
Looking forward to an exciting and successful 2022-2023 School Year!
