Embedded Files
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.

Extended Day Program & Child Care
The OCSB operates a before and after-school Extended Day Program (EDP) at our school. Families can choose from the following three enrollment options:
Before school (morning program)
After school (afternoon program), or
Both (Before and After programs).
The program may also operate on select PD Days and March Break, if there is sufficient enrollment, available space, and staffing. For complete detailsa on eligibility, fees, and how to register, please visit the Child Care and Extended Day Programs page on the OCSB website.
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.
