Notre Dame School would like to acknowledge that we are blessed to live, work, and play on Treaty 8 land, the traditional territory of the Cree, Sekani, Dunne-za, Dene-thah, Saulteaux, Chipewyan, and other Indigenous people who were not specifically identified in the treaty.
Welcome back!
The Notre Dame School Staff family are excited to work with your family this year!

CISPG Schools – Accessibility
All eight CISPG Schools initiated a local School Committee and together completed the 9 page School Physical Accessibility Audit Checklist in June 2023. Priorities for the physical plant were identified to share with staff in term 1 of the 2023-24 school year. As per the Ministry guidelines, a CISPG-based Accessibility Committee has been struck and an initial meeting has been held.
Some highlights of priorities in schools for 2023-24 include signage for accessible parking, development of sensory rooms, updated door handles, access by suitable ramps, and even an inclusive/accessible playground.
For more information about the Accessibility Plan, contact Mrs. Colleen Richard, Notre Dame School Principal, at [email protected] or 250-782-4923. For more information and to view the feedback tool and application form: Schools | Catholic Independent Schools (cispg.ca)
