Principal's Welcome
On behalf of the staff at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Elementary School, we welcome you to a truly amazing school community. We feel blessed to be part of a school team focused on developing the whole child through a commitment to high expectations, collaboration, and inclusivity for all. Students are the heart of everything we do!
As administrators of St. Vincent de Paul School, we are very proud of our community! We have a caring, energetic and dedicated group of staff members; talented, enthusiastic students; collaborative, supportive parents; and a dedicated Pastoral Team through St. Ambrose Parish.
We have the privilege of educating your children in a Catholic school system, and this is an amazing responsibility that we will not take for granted. By partnering with our parents and St. Ambrose Parish, together we can instill the Catholic values that our students will need to nurture their faith and to be caring and responsible adults who have a positive impact on the community and the world in which we live.
It is our hope that all families will use this web page to stay up-to-date with all the activities that will be taking place throughout the school year. Important information and reminders will also be posted on this site. Please also sign up on Newswire to receive important updates through emails and to access our school calendar.
We look forward to a great year at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Elementary School!
Respectfully yours,
Tammy Sica
Principal
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.

Land Acknowledgement
The schools in the Waterloo Catholic District School Board are situated on the Haldimand tract of land that is the traditional home of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe and Chonnonton People. We acknowledge the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge, laws and philosophies of the Indigenous Peoples with whom we share this land today.
We seek a new relationship with the Original People of this land, one based on honour and deep respect. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn here and reaffirm our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation real in our community.
Parish
Our Catholic Faith is taught, reinforced and celebrated in our school, homes and parish. We are so fortunate to have an excellent relationship with our local parish.
Our Lady of Fatima Parish
St. Ambrose Parish
