| Dear Members
of the London District Catholic School Board
Community:
Welcome back! I hope that you enjoyed a
safe and happy summer with your friends and family and are
ready to return to what I hope will be a faith-filled and
productive learning experience.
Our theme this year is "Good News for
All" through the
Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations as we mark
the tenth year of their implementation. Catholic education is
distinctive in its role to form the whole child through faith
formation and we are led and guided by the Catholic Graduate
Expectations. They are our guide for planning, instructional
strategies, evaluation and assessment. The Expectations build
our life roles, skills and attitudes that will be carried and
developed over our lifetime. As educators in the
Catholic Faith, we work together with our homes and parishes
to form the human person emerging within each of our students.
Our faith formation informs our search for knowledge, skills
and understanding as well as our values, attitudes and
actions. We have an enormous responsibility as educators,
parents, parishes and students to teach and follow the example
of Jesus and the Gospels each day.
May this year bring you many blessings
as we courageously journey together to fulfill our individual
callings in Christ's name.
Wilma de Rond
Director of
