Catholic School Advisory Council

The Catholic School Advisory Council (CSAC) functions as an advisory body to the school Principal and on occasion to the Board. The Council provides advice on a variety of issues and reflects the school community in composition and function. The School Council has been actively involved in supporting our students and promoting literacy and numeracy initiatives within the school.  Meetings are held throughout the school year.

We encourage you to become involved!  If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about our CSAC or school involvement, please contact the school Principal.

How We Live Our Catholic Faith

At St. Victor Catholic Elementary School we strive to provide a safe learning environment rooted in our Catholic faith in which all students have the opportunity to develop to their full potential. We value and promote opportunities to join with our families and church in celebration of our faith.  We believe that Jesus' commandment to: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is the model of positive student behaviour.
