End of School Year Message from the PVNC Catholic Chief Executive Officer and Chief Education Officer

June 25, 2026

Dear PVNC Catholic Families,

As another school year comes to a close, we pause to reflect with gratitude on the many moments that have shaped our journey together over the past ten months.

Across our schools, we have witnessed remarkable examples of faith in action. We have celebrated academic achievements, artistic performances, athletic successes, acts of service, and personal milestones. We have watched students discover new passions, overcome challenges, and grow in confidence as learners.

Catholic education is about far more than what happens in a classroom. It is about building communities where every student is known, valued, and encouraged to reach their God-given potential. Each day, our students, families, staff, and Trustees contribute to that mission in meaningful ways, helping to create welcoming and faith-filled environments where young people can thrive.

This year has been filled with opportunities to inspire, thrive and connect. Whether through school liturgies, community outreach initiatives, classroom learning, extracurricular activities, or everyday acts of kindness, our Catholic schools have continued to be places where faith and learning go hand-in-hand.

As we celebrate the accomplishments of our graduates, we offer our prayers and congratulations as they prepare for the next chapter of their journey. We are confident they will carry forward the values, knowledge, and sense of purpose they have developed during their time at PVNC Catholic.

As summer begins, I encourage everyone to embrace the gift of rest and renewal. May the weeks ahead provide opportunities to spend time with family and friends, enjoy God’s creation, and reflect on the many blessings we have received throughout the year. If you or someone you know is in need of support over the summer months, School Mental Health Ontario (SMHO) has resources available to parents and caregivers by accessing their By Your Side Hub.

On behalf of PVNC Catholic, thank you for being part of our Catholic learning community. Your partnership, support, and commitment help make our schools extraordinary places of faith, learning, and belonging.

May God bless you and your loved ones with a safe, joyful, and restful summer. We look forward to welcoming our students and staff back in September for another year of learning, growth, and opportunity.

Warmest regards,

Stephen O’Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Education Officer
