Our school is located within the City of Mississauga.  The student population, approximately 308 students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, comes from a wide range of social and ethnic backgrounds reflecting the ever-increasing diversity of cultures found within Mississauga.  Our school is equipped with a double gym, a stage, a large library, a full computer lab and a beautiful amphitheatre in the centre of the school.

The school was established 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 is committed to the search for excellence, the uniqueness of the individual and the education of the whole person.

We are a caring community that stresses tolerance, inclusion and acceptance of others, commitment to our Catholic faith and high academic standards.  We provide a safe and inclusive learning environment where models of Gospel values and Catholic doctrines, teachings and beliefs are an integral part of the daily life of our school.  The school motto, " Fostering wisdom in an inclusive community while bearing witness to the Gospel values," was chosen through the process of community consultation and reflects a holistic philosophy where religion and daily life are intertwined.  All activities at the school — academic and pastoral work, extracurricular and intra-curricular, prayer and worship, administration and management — help to prepare our students for their lives as Catholics in the community.

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.  We are proud of our balanced religion, academic, arts, technology and athletics program.  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.  Accordingly, appropriate assessment procedures are employed regularly to motivate and encourage student success.  To ensure coherence and wholeness, subjects are taught against the background of The Ontario Curriculum, the Gospel values of Jesus Christ and sound educational practices.
