We love our Catholic school because it’s more than just a place to learn – it’s like a second family. The smaller class sizes make a huge difference because we get more personal attention from our teachers. They take the time to really get to know us and help us with anything we don’t understand. It feels more like a community than just a school.

One of the things we love most is religious education. Every day, we’re reminded of how to treat others with kindness and respect, and how important it is to live by our faith. We learn about doing the right thing, not just in school, but in every part of our lives. It’s not just about what we’re taught in the classroom, but how we’re encouraged to live out those lessons.

Another reason we love our school is all the opportunities we get for service. Whether it’s helping at the food bank, raking leaves, making cards, or collecting donations, we get to give back to the community. It feels good knowing that we’re making a difference and doing what Jesus would want us to do.

The high expectations our teachers set for us push us to do our best. They believe in us, and that pushes us to believe in ourselves. We are expected to work hard and be responsible, but the teachers are always there to support us if we need help. It feels good to be challenged and to see how much we can grow.

Athletics and extracurriculars are also a big part of why we love our school. We have so many chances to try out different activities, from sports to chess and coding. It’s not just about winning; it’s about working together, having fun, and learning new skills. These activities help us bond with our classmates and make new friends.

Speaking of friends, we’ve made lifelong friendships here. We know that no matter where life takes us, we’ll always have the people we met here. We’ve grown up together, supported each other through tough times, and celebrated each other’s successes.

Lastly, we feel safe and cared for every day. Our teachers and staff genuinely care about us, not just as students, but as people. They make sure we’re okay, both in and out of the classroom. The environment is supportive and positive, and it makes coming to school every day something we look forward to.

In short, we love our Catholic school because it’s a place where we feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow in every way – academically, morally, and spiritually. It’s more than just a school; it’s a place where we’re building the foundation for our futures and making memories that will last a lifetime.
