Join Us In This Year's 
Lenten Campaign

Our High School Boys will be travelling to the Dominican Republic this year for a mission trip.

We are asking our community to help make their mission amazing by bringing in different supplies for an orphanage they will be visiting. Each class will aim to pile up a "mountain" of supplies in their classroom.

ON March 20th, the class with the tallest "mountain" will be rewarded!


A recent article was published in the Calgary Herald last weekend titled " NDP needs to review how it funds private schools."

In response to the article, please take a moment to read an opinion piece written by Donna Trimble, Executive Director for Parents for Choice in Education .

We will continue to monitor very closely the requirements and expectations of Alberta Education as well as the media attention on fees and funding at private schools. 

Questions? Please email Bill Tomiak.
