SCHOOL DEBIT MACHINES

The school has received debit machines.  As a result we can now accept credit card and interact payments for tuition and school fees.  We ask for your patience as we are learning the new program.

 

TRACK AND FIELD SEASON

As our basketball season comes to a close, track and field is right around the corner.  Our Track and Field program has the largest participation rate out of all of our extra-curricular programs in the school.  Last year we had close to 80 students participating in grade 3-7.  This year we are expecting even more students in the program.  Ms. De Sousa, Head Coach for Track and Field, is looking for parent support in many areas.  Morning condition practice and drivers for our track meets are the areas in most need of volunteers.  Please consider helping out this track season.

 

USED UNIFORMS

We are accepting good, clean used uniforms at the school.  A bin is located across from the office.  If you are in need of a uniform please email useduniforms@stbernadette.ca to make your request.  Please have all the sizing information listed in your email

WHEN ONE DOOR OF HAPPINESS CLOSES,
