Discover our School
Our school respectfully acknowledges that we are located on the ancestral, traditional and unceded Indigenous territory of the Algonquin Peoples,
on whose territory we pray, learn, play and work.
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.

Spirituality
The Chapel plays a major role in the life of our school. The chapel is physically situated at the heart of the school and is, at the same time, the spiritual centre. The chapel is a quiet place designed for both staff and student liturgies and personal prayer.
Spiritual Theme
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.
Chaplaincy Department
The chaplain is available to both the students and staff through retreats and spiritual counseling.
Our school community and every student and staff member has gifts for the building up of this community. As part of the community, the chaplain works closely with others in the school to assist in the general education of students within a spiritual framework. Celebration and service, two key elements of the spiritual life, are integral to the life of our Catholic school. The chaplain, in conjunction with students and staff, assists in the animation of these areas.
Principle
Our Catholic schools have a fundamental right to support and enhance the Catholic faith throughout the entire school community by proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Goal
Our school will provide opportunities for staff and students to live, learn, love, and grow in their faith in Jesus Christ. The school will promote and integrate the distinctive nature of Catholic education in curricular, extracurricular and educational experiences.
Our Patron - St. Teresa of Calcutta
