From the Principal

Dear Parents,

Every child is a unique gift from God. Similarly, while all Catholic schools share a common mission as part of the Church’s educational ministry, every Catholic school is a unique community.  In electing to send your child to St. Gabriel School, you make a significant choice.  Most importantly you have the opportunity to blend your child’s academic and spiritual development in accordance with the educational mission and ministry of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church.

A vital premise underlying St. Gabriel’s mission is that every child has strengths, talents and interests to be encouraged and developed.  Equally important is our commitment to an educational approach that nurtures each child’s developmental needs in an environment of academic excellence, moral values, respect and safety.  St. Gabriel's provides that environment, treating each child as a special “gift” that will flourish with individual care and attention.

You are preparing to make a most important decision regarding the education of your child. The role parents play in their child’s education doesn't end when children start school, it just changes. In a partnership of mutual respect and cooperation, parents and teachers work together to provide students the skills and values needed to become responsible members of society.

In these pages we proudly acquaint you with our teaching staff. I invite you to come and meet us. To make sure you get the most out of our conversations about St. Gabriel School, we have also included some questions you may want to ask when considering any school.  We hope that our answers will help you decide that St. Gabriel School is a good fit for your family.

Sincerely,
Dr Mortell
