NPSC Celebrates a New School Year!
Over the past two weeks, we have witnessed students, staff and families return to our schools to usher in the new 2023-2024 school year. At NPSC, we wanted to celebrate and share all of the excitement in our district by inviting our community to share their back-to-school memories and favourite moments by using the hashtag #WelcomeBackNPSC!
We have seen many happy faces, full classrooms and engaging activities, all embodying the spirit of Catholic Education!
Students returned to school with new goals, new friends, new teachers and new community members. One of these new additions is parent volunteer, Mrs. Carmichael, who is supporting the Library at St. Victor School. We extend a big thank you to all our volunteers in our NPSC schools!

During the month of September, we have come together as strong Catholic community through Open House events, welcoming all new students and parents/guardians into our NPSC family!
Our Lady of Fatima School held their fall Open House to a packed crowd, eager to see the school resources and meet some new and familiar faces.

St. Luke School also held their fall Open House last week, with excitement and smiles in high demand!

While our NPSC school communities embraced new families into our halls, our school yards hardly saw a dull moment! The outdoors were host to imaginative and creative games, activities and cross-country practices, with the sounds of children playing and laughing... including staff!

These past few weeks also saw the return of the SJSH Hockey Canada Skills Academy (HCSA) program! In its second year, the program has grown to supporting 94 students across all grades at St. Joseph-Scollard Hall.

Program Lead Mr. Tyler Miller, along with the SJSH HCSA program staff and students are excited to enter a new partnership with Nipissing University's Dr. Mark Bruner and the Groups For Youth Development (G4YD) Research Lab.
