​​​​Greetings! I am proud to be a part of the Holy Name Catholic School Community and look forward to continuing to grow in faith and community with all students, parents, staff, parish and community members during the 2023-2024 school year.

I believe that children are our most precious resources. Children are made in the image of God and deserve the right to be accepted, loved, and respected so that they can grow and develop.  They are our future and therefore it is my role with the staff, to share a set of Catholic values, which will help them succeed on their life journeys. 

Since each child is unique, our staff at Holy Name Catholic School is dedicated to help each student become an expert learner. We will work diligently to remove barriers so that our students can learn, by providing each student with the tools and strategies needed to excel.  We encourage our students to share both positive and challenging experiences. Risk-taking and having a growth mindset are essential, since this is when true learning occurs. I truly believe that success is not measured by how students learn, but rather by what students learn.

Our goal is to model the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations in order to help our students become responsible citizens, caring family members, lifelong learners, effective communicators, collaborative contributors and reflective, critical thinkers who develop and always demonstrate their God given potential. 

At Holy Name Catholic School, learning is contagious and goes beyond the confines of the classroom.  Through self-reflection on our faith, life experiences as well as professional development, our staff will work with all partners to make this a fantastic year of learning and growing!

Yours in Catholic Education,        

Katie Williamson
