About Us

​St. Barbara School

"Freedom to Learn, Freedom to Pray"

Mission Statement

At St. Barbara Catholic Elementary school we believe that the Parish, the School and the Home, working in partnership, are dedicated to our children's spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social and physical development in a secure environment, at home and in class. Working together, we attain success by educating students to their full potential.

We are a Catholic community. We demonstrate our love for God by respecting each other and by striving to meet the expectations of our Catholic faith, the Ministry of Education, and those established by parents, teachers and students.

Our mandate is to encourage in children the life-long desire to learn, and find joy, delight and enthusiasm in the learning experience. Students should grow in sense of self-worth, respect for all members of our community, personal responsibility in the uses of freedom, and love of God. Students have the right to go to school. With that right comes the responsibility to respect the rights of others.

Safety in our Parking Lot/Driveway

Please Read...

Safety First when dropping students off at school

The safety of all children and staff must be considered as paramount at all times when dropping students off at school.

It is imperative that all parents and guardians who drive their children to school adhere to the traffic circulation plan and comply with the traffic and parking signage on the site. It is equally imperative that all drivers follow the direction of staff managing the traffic circulation on the school site.

Thank you for your consideration and co-operation with this important matter.
