During Catholic Education Week, Ms. Daniel, the Catholic School Council Chairperson, addressed the Gr. 7 & 8 students at St. John about the importance of Catholic Education and why she has chosen to send her sons to a Catholic School.

She emphasised the role of a faith community in education and how it helps students to build character and prepare for the challenges of life. She touched on the partnership between Parish, Home and School and how each partner complements the other to develop a complete education for children.

Students were inspired by her volunteer work at the school as a way of giving back to the community what she and her children gain from the community. We thank Ms. Daniel, and all members of Catholic School Councils for their commitment and contribution.
