About Us
Welcome to St. Dominic Savio Catholic Elementary School website.
Principal's Message
Greetings!
Welcome to the St. Dominic Savio Catholic Elementary School website. Our hope is to keep you updated and informed about all school news and activities. St. Dominic Savio is a dynamic school, embracing of change, growth, innovation, and success. Please follow us on Twitter, @wcdsbStDominic and register for our Newswire to get all the latest news and information you need.
At St. Dominic Savio, we feel blessed to have a rich learning environment that sets high standards for success. We have a great staff, who look forward to learning alongside your child, highlighting individual strengths and honouring the unique potential of all. Each member of our school community is a dedicated professional, committed to providing quality education that nurtures the whole child; body, mind and spirit.
Included in our school community is our parish, St. Mark. This relationship allows our students to develop a strong connection with the Church and our Catholic faith. Under the guidance of Father Roque, Deacon Philip, and Pam Olinski, our parish liaison, the students will have many opportunities to grow as faithful disciples of Christ. We truly are a triad of support – family, school and parish. I am most proud to be a part of this great team!
Our Catholic School Advisory Council is an important partner with our school community as well. We would love to have you come out and join us for meetings and offer the opportunity for you to volunteer during family and CSAC events. Check our school calendar often as we welcome you as an active member of your child’s academic success. Please feel free to contact the school with any questions you may have.
May God bless you always,
Angela Carroll
Principal
Getting Ready for Kindergarten
Welcome to our school community!
We believe that all families are composed of individuals who are competent and capable, curious, and rich in experience. We know our families love their children and want the best for them. Families are experts on their children. They are the first and most powerful influence on children’s learning, development, health, and well-being. Families bring diverse social, cultural, and linguistic perspectives. Families should feel that they belong, are valuable contributors to their children’s learning, and deserve to be engaged in a meaningful way.
Welcome to Kindergarten Event You will be invited to our school this year in the spring, where we can gather in community and get to know each other! There will be an opportunity for you and your child to participate in activities together and ask questions. Let’s get ready to Talk, Create, Read and Play!

Catholic School Advisory Council
Welcome to our Catholic School Advisory Council!
The education of our children is a partnership, working together to build a strong school community. Welcome, we’re glad you’re here.
What is the Role of the Catholic School Advisory Council?
A school council is an advisory body that functions within the parameters of Ministry of Education and Board policy. School councils provide an opportunity and the means to advise the principal and the Board on any matter on the improvement of pupil achievement and to enhance the accountability of the education system to parents/guardians. The ultimate responsibility for the administration and management of the day-to-day operation of the school rests with the principal.
A school council is an important venue for the various stakeholders in education to work in partnership. Its role, in collaboration with the principal, staff, and the community, is to help set the priorities of the school and to enhance learning opportunities, through various activities, for the benefit of our children/students.
What a Catholic School Advisory Council is not
A school council is not a place to pursue your own agenda or advocate for your own child. Individual issues should be pursued through the classroom teacher and/or principal.
