PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE:

Father C. W. Sullivan Catholic Elementary School was established in 1975 to support Catholic parents in their responsibility for the spiritual, religious, moral, academic and physical needs of their children in accordance with the teachings of the Church.  The school community at Father C. W. Sullivan School is committed to the search for excellence, the uniqueness of the individual and the education of the whole person.  The school motto, "God, Friends and Learning” reflects a holistic philosophy where religion and daily life are intertwined.  All activities at Father C. W. Sullivan School — academic and pastoral work, extracurricular and co-curricular, prayer and worship, administration and management — help to prepare our students for their lives as Catholics in the community.  We currently have a school population of 325 students from Junior Kindergarten to grade 8.

Our students come to us with a variety of strengths and needs, with their Catholic faith as their common bond.  Our prayer life, liturgical celebrations, the sacraments, and our faith and values system form the foundation of our school program.  At Father C. W. Sullivan School, we are proud of our balanced religion, academic, arts, technology and athletic programs.  We offer students a well-rounded and value-centered education to help them make good choices for the future.  The curriculum planned and provided in the school is broad, balanced and relevant to the needs and aspirations of all our students.  A wide range of subjects and learning experiences are offered to develop the skills, abilities and talents of individual students.

The staff at Father C. W. Sullivan School is very dedicated and hard working.  They implement the Ministry of Education’s curriculum expectations and provide meaningful lessons which encourage students to be the best that they can be.  The staff also provides many extra curricular opportunities for the students.  It is because they go above and beyond their duties, that students have all these extra opportunities, ie:  volleyball, basketball, softball, track and field, soccer, chess, line dancing, craft club, intramurals, intermediate drama presentation, book club, French Café, etc.

Our School Council is made up of hard working and dedicated parents who support us in all our events, excursions, extra curricular activities, playday, purchasing student agendas, support for First Communion, Confirmation and Graduation and help us to reach our school goals. They help raise funds for our school and give a great deal of time in making Father C. W. Sullivan School a great place to learn, play and pray.

My role as principal is to provide Catholic leadership for Father C. W. Sullivan School where minds are opened to learning and where the school, home and the parish work together to provide our students with the skills and competencies necessary to help them succeed in school and in life.  I am very proud to be the principal at Father C. W. Sullivan School and honoured to work with such caring staff, student and parents.
