Welcome to the Online Resource Center of the Ottawa Catholic School Board

Over the past three weeks, I had the privilege of engaging with your dedicated Principals, Vice Principals, and parents. It has been an excellent opportunity to connect, share insights, and collaborate on the critical mission of providing quality Catholic education to your students.

​

I am pleased to inform you that I recorded all three sessions and made them available here for your convenience. Whether you were part of or missed the live sessions, you can now access the recordings at your own pace. These recordings and supplementary materials will serve as valuable resources to help you stay informed and inspired.

​

Feel free to explore the sessions, dive into the content, and review all the materials delivered during our interactions. I encourage you to use this platform to support your ongoing commitment to excellence in Catholic education.

​

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, require further clarification, or wish to discuss any aspect of the sessions. Your feedback and inquiries are essential in strengthening the community and improving collective efforts.

​

As you engage, I look forward to continuing to work together, fostering a nurturing educational environment rooted in faith and excellence. May you and your loved ones be blessed abundantly as you embark on this journey.

​

Thank you for your dedication, passion, and commitment. Together, we will continue to impact the lives of the students and their families positively.

​

Warm regards,

​

Vice Principal Conference - November 16th, 2023

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often find ourselves taking care of everyone and everything around us, neglecting the one person who should be a top priority—ourselves.

  • Identify common barriers to self-care and develop strategies to overcome them.

  • Explore the ten key self-care practices and their potential benefits.

  • Learn how to create a personalized self-care plan that aligns with individual needs and preferences.

  • Cultivate self-awareness and self-compassion as essential components of self-care.

  • Share experiences and insights with fellow participants to build a supportive community of self-care advocates.
