Catholic School Council

A Message from the CSC Chair

Welcome to the St. Patrick Catholic School Council (CSC) website. As Chair and Vice Chair we are proud to say that we have a very supportive, active and engaging parent council. Our present council represents all divisions. This allows us to set goals that benefit all of the students here at St. Patrick. The St. Patrick CSC supports community building, faith development, and academic excellence as the primary objectives of the Council.

Over the years Council has supported events such as the September Family Barbecue, lunch programs, Spook-a-thon, Christmas craft event, pancake day, and much more! With regard to academic support for our teachers and students, we as a Council have financially supported materials and programs to support literacy, mathematics, the arts, and school athletic programs. We have financed Scientist in the School, math programs, school productions and purchased technology items for the school. We have also supported initiatives to improve the learning environment and well-being of our students such as the Learning Garden.

We encourage all parents to get involved and be a part of Council initiatives, to help us build a stronger school community and to support our students in their Catholic journey of learning.

God Bless,
Dan Carmichael
