St. Theresa was first opened in 1997 as a Junior Kindergarten to grade two school in Corbeil. The school grew by one grade until it included grade six in 2001. The students actively participate in academic and extra curricular programs such as the, the choir, volleyball, peer helpers, cross country running team, skating and gymnastics lessons by qualified instructors at a local club. The students participate in liturgical celebrations at school. Parents have an opportunity to become engaged in a variety of activities: the annual Thanksgiving Dinner, library helpers, Book Fairs, classroom helpers, fund raising, educational outings and the Catholic School Advisory Council. Our school community moved to a newly built facility in September 2006.

Catholic School Advisory Council
The Catholic School Advisory Committee acts as a consulting group who actively involves itself with school decisions. For example the members have developed the school Code of Behavior Handbook and review it yearly.
The committee members keenly attend meetings and are available more frequently when deemed necessary. They also network with other school councils within our Board.
How We Live Our Catholic Faith
Our school community has many opportunities to express their Catholic Faith. Our students are involved in the planning for the monthly masses or liturgies by preparing hymns and special intentions. The junior grade students support the younger ones by volunteering to be peer helpers. They provide helping hands in the kindergarten class and during special events. Regular food drives serve to support some of the community needs. Our students participate in the Canadian Tire Young Citizenship Activities.
