Discover our School
Our school respectfully acknowledges that we are located on the ancestral, traditional and unceded Indigenous territory of the Algonquin Peoples,
on whose territory we pray, learn, play and work.
The OCSB acknowledges the suffering experienced by Indigenous peoples in Canada's Residential Schools and is committed to Truth and Reconciliation. Read the OCSB Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action to learn more.
Our Family of Schools
We welcome students from the following OCSB feeder schools:

Staff to guide students in an orientation program and in the use of technology for learning
Students can borrow items using their Student I.D. card. There is a charge of 20 cents per day for overdue books and magazines. Students can borrow mobile devices for a period, during lunch recess, overnight or for a weekend. They must be returned on time for the benefit of other users. In the case of devices borrowed overnight that are returned late, a charge of $1.00 per day will be applied. Students who return damaged print materials or mobile devices may have their privileges denied and/or asked to replace them at their own expense.
Students are expected to behave appropriately and respect others and property. Food and drinks, other than water, are not permitted unless a special event has been organized by staff.
Spirituality
Our school has a chapel that is open daily for all students and staff.
Spiritual Theme
The OCSB's spiritual theme for 2024-2027 is: We are called to open doors, build bridges, and nourish new beginnings. It is rooted in Revelation 3:20, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock…”
In each of the next three school years, our school will focus on a different aspect of the Spiritual Theme: Opening doors, Building bridges, and Nourishing new beginnings.
Chaplaincy Department
Our school's current Chaplaincy Leader is Dr. Joe Rogers
From the Chaplain's Desk
Our school community and every student and staff member has gifts for the building up of this community. As part of the community, the chaplain works closely with others in the school to assist in the general education of students within a spiritual framework. Celebration and service, two key elements of the spiritual life, are integral to the life of our Catholic school. The chaplaincy leader, in conjunction with students and staff, assists in the animation of these areas. The Chaplain is available to both the students and staff to journey with them in their personal and spiritual growth.
Chapel
The Chapel plays a major role in the life of our school. The chapel is physically situated at the heart of the school and is, at the same time, the spiritual centre. The Chapel is the focus of the spiritual character of the school and is used for private prayer and class liturgical celebrations. Our Chapel is a warm, peaceful refuge where students, staff, and parents are invited to pray, reflect, and rejoice.
