This Week at École OLPH School

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School

Our Lady of Perpetual Help school is committed to quality education in both official languages fostering in our students respect for life and learning as Christ taught us.

Dear Parents and Students of Our Lady of Perpetual Help,

As the weather shifts and the leaves begin to fall, autumn reminds us of the beauty in change and the importance of slowing down to reflect on life’s blessings. It’s also a season of preparation, of cleaning up back-yards, raking leaves, maybe switching in our winter tires - things reminding us to be ready for what’s ahead—a lesson for our students!

On that note, this is your friendly reminder that it’s time for students to start dressing for the weather. This is Canada, after all—where sunny mornings can quickly turn into chilly afternoons! We won't talk about the white precipitation yet, but we're into the second half of October - it's coming.

In Christ,

Mr. Johnson
