From the moment Leo Laszlo Tait stepped through the doors on his first day at SJS in September, he has experienced the welcoming spirit of the school.
Transitioning to a new school can be daunting, but at SJS we strive to ensure every new student feels at home from day one. Our community-orientated values, coupled with dedicated support systems, create an environment where students can thrive and feel they belong.
Visit our news site (link in bio) to read Leo`s story as he shares his experience of how SJS students and teachers have supported him as he finds his place within the school, and what he’s looking forward to in his first year at SJS! ✨
A reminder that the application deadline for 2025 entry into our Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Grades 1, 4, 6 & 8 is this Friday! Visit sjs.ca/admissions/how-to-apply to submit your application!

Her latest talk for SJS parents will be a virtual meeting via the link shared in last week`s Eagle Update, this Thursday (October 24) from 6:30pm.
We look forward to seeing many SJS parents and guardians there!
Celebrating the heart of our school this World Teachers’ Day 🌍 Every SJS teacher, from JK to Grade 12, plants seeds of knowledge that grow into lifelong passions for our students. Thank you to all teachers for your endless inspiration and dedication 📚

We came together as a community today, following the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, wearing our orange shirts to show solidarity.
We have had a diverse array of Indigenous guests at SJS over the years, and today we welcomed sɬə́məxʷ (Rain) Pierre from Katzie First Nation.
Rain held our whole school assembly this morning, sharing stories of his journey from academia to his spiritual awakening where he discovered his gift for art. In his words, “It was up to our grandparents’ generation to survive attempted genocide, so it is up to my generation to show everyone why.”
Rain also held a session ahead of the assembly for Grade 12, where he went into more detail about his family`s history, culture and experience in residential schools and his inspirational story of resilience, rising from a life where he was deeply unhappy to living a life he now enjoys to the full!
Thank you @rainawakens for joining us today and for sharing your story!
