Welcome Back Lightning Families! It is with much joy that I welcome you and your family to our 2023/2024 school year. On behalf of the staff at St. Luke, we would like to welcome you to a truly vibrant and engaging school community. It is my absolute privilege to serve as Principal of a dynamic school team focused on the success of each child in mind, body and spirit. A warm welcome is extended to all who are new to St. Luke’s community. A special greeting is also extended to our youngest students, our Junior Kindergarten children who are starting school for the first time.
We are fortunate to have a dynamic and caring staff, dedicated to bringing out the best in your children. We are blessed to experience a rich faith life, with the support of Father Aleks, from St. Agnes parish church. We have a vibrant and dedicated school council who work tirelessly to enhance school life. Working together, we help to fulfill the board’s vision of the school being the “heart of the community, where there is success for each and a place for all.”
St. Luke’s staff is a uniquely gifted one that effectively collaborates to ensure that Christ is present for our children and a love of learning is being modelled and encouraged. It is important to remember that a teacher is only one part of the learning process; parents are extremely important in determining how well a child will perform and how much a child will learn during the school year. Your involvement in your child’s learning is vital. I feel very blessed to be part of such a supportive and wonderful school, church, and neighbourhood community.
Communication is essential in the teaching/learning process. Please communicate regularly with your child(s) teacher and the school. I look forward to working together to ensure an excellent school year for our students filled with academic excellence and spiritual growth.
Please visit our website regularly for information concerning the school, and sign up for our electronic newsletters at https://stluke.wcdsb.ca. Also, follow us on the St Luke Twitter account, @Lukes_Lightning.
May God Bless You,
Ms. Rosemary J. Kavanagh B.A. M.Ed.
