Our Tradition and Values
Our core values have served our students for more than 160 years. Our motto, “Be Who You Are and Be It Well” encourages us to live by a common spirit – that is, to be extraordinary people who live by example.
“Set your eyes on God and leave the doing to Him. That is all the doing you have to worry about.”
-St. Jane De Chantal

The grounds are just as beautiful now as when I attended. Remember skating around St. Michael in the winter and rowing around him in the fall and spring. Graduated in 1967.
The grounds are still beautiful and like I remember them . Graduation in 1960. Spent many recesses out in the boats rowing around St. Michael and playing dodgeball at the top of the hill
Beautiful scenery. Peaceful.
Best school yard ever!
I too recall the boats and ice skating!
Looks idyllic
