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.

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 details on eligibility, fees, and how to register, please visit the Child Care and Extended Day Programs page on the OCSB website.

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.
