About Us

At Holy Name Catholic School, students learn about and live like Jesus Christ. Students are encouraged to use their learning, gifts and talents to benefit others whether in the school, family, parish, or greater community. Everyone is encouraged to LIVE our faith, each and every day. 

 

Persistence, perseverance, and a positive attitude are all valued. Making mistakes is part of learning. Academic challenges vary and successes are all celebrated. Relationships are very important. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Everyone can ensure that our school is a welcoming, inclusive, friendly, and safe place. 

 

Together, our school becomes a special place when we all put our faith in action. 

The ALCDSB is dedicated to creating and promoting positive school climate and well-being in all of our schools. Respecting the dignity of all persons by fostering trusting relationships through policies and practices that promote equity, inclusion and diversity are at the core of our Catholic values, the Board's spiritual theme of Faith in Action and our provincial Catholic Graduate Expectations. A positive school climate is directly linked to student success and well-being ensuring students are motivated to do well and will realize their full potential. We are committed to sustaining healthy and nurturing communities of belonging that are safe, caring and respectful and built on the principles of restorative practice and progressive discipline.

 

The ALCDSB and its school communities engage in a whole school approach in putting prevention and intervention strategies in place to facilitate a positive relationship between students, staff, parents and community partners.
