About Our School

Holy Rosary Catholic Elementary School opened its doors in September 1947 with an enrollment of only 47 students. The original building had only four classrooms, but with such a small number of students only two classrooms were needed during the first year.
Enrollment climbed quickly and by 1955 the number of students registered at Holy Rosary reached almost 200.

Consequently a fifth classroom was constructed in the school’s basement. The next year a four-room addition was built, and in the years to come a kitchen-canteen, a gymnasium and a stage were added.
At that time, the majority of our students were born in Canada but we also enjoy the richness brought to us by our students who were born in other countries.
 
 

Living Our Faith

Holy Rosary Catholic School is a vibrant, Christ-Centred community. We engage in daily prayer, and have a strong School/Parish connection with St. Francis and St. Martin Catholic Parish. In addition to our monthly Masses and Classroom Liturgies, we celebrate the Sacraments of First Communion and First Penance in Grade 2, and the Sacrament of Confirmation in Grade 8.
 
(Currently on Hold) We also welcome our Parish Team on Fridays to discuss the weekly Gospel, and engage in monthly praying of the Rosary with the Living Rosary Team.
