🏫 Behind every smooth running school is a team of admin superheroes armed with coffee, calendars, and the magical ability to find any missing form. They run the school with nothing but a phone in one hand, a band-aid in the other, and a sixth sense for knowing exactly where every lost water bottle is hiding. 🤭 They juggle attendance, ice packs, field trip forms, and 47 “Can I call my mom?” requests before 10am, and they do it all with grace and a smile! 🥰 We honestly don’t know how we’d function without them… and frankly, we’re not willing to find out. 💙💛 Thank you to our amazing admin ladies — Desi and Jodi to the real MVPs of the school! 🏆 #AdminAppreciation #SchoolWouldFallApartWithoutYou

Having our grade fives lead us through the Stations of the Cross this afternoon was a great way to wrap up our last day at school during Lent. We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Easter and we’ll see everyone on April 28th.

BREAKING NEWS 🕵️‍♀️👀 Teachers caught red-handed in an undercover spirit week! 🍹 Drinking from anything BUT a cup (yes, that was a watering can) 👗 Rocking our version of student “style” (spoiler alert: we nailed it) 👯‍♀️ Matching in full plaid like a cozy Canadian cult 🖤 And then…we blacked out- in outfits, not energy for the grand finale before Spring Break. The kids were on to us and they thought they were the funny ones. 😎 Mission: Spirit Week = Success. Happy Spring Break, folks! 🌸✌️ #UndercoverTeachers #CaughtInTheAct #SpringBreakModeActivated

Constable McAdam and her colleague with the Calgary Police Service Canine Unit gave a presentation to our grade 4 French Immersion classes with her police dog Gator.

Ticket details coming soon! 🎭🌹#BeautyAndTheBeast #TheatreMagic #BeOurGuest #DramaProduction #SupportTheArts #TheatreKid #BehindTheScenes

A few more pictures from this years Science Fair.

After an extended absence our Science Fair returned on Friday. There were about 25 displays this year and they had some amazing presentations. Great job students, you should be very proud of yourselves.

Our cup is full of excitement for Spring 🌼 💙💛 #finally #sunshine #kinder

This morning we had approximately 25 students in grade five and another 25 students in grade six participate in the National Mathmatica Centrum Contest out of Montreal. There were definitely some tricky questions! We will get the results in June and see how everyone does.

Don't worry, beach happy!! Tomorrow is Beach day😎 Grab those shades, flip-flops, and tropical trends- no sunscreen needed, but good vibes are a must! Let's wave goodbye to regular outfits and sea you all dressed to chill 🌊🌴

Big thanks to all the coaches and players for an amazing Grade 6 basketball tournament yesterday! 🏀 The kids played hard, showed incredible improvement, and demonstrated fantastic sportsmanship throughout. It was great to see so much fun and teamwork on display. We couldn’t have asked for a better day of basketball.

Congratulations to Mrs. Dengis and thank you to all parents who attended! École Good Shepherd is blessed to have such an involved parent community.

April Catholic Social Teaching: Rights and Responsibilities Rights and Responsibilities emphasizes that every person has a right to life and the necessities for human dignity. With these rights come responsibilities - to one another, our families, and society. Protecting human rights and fulfilling our responsibilities are essential for creating a just and healthy community. #ctrmanyandone #ctrcatholicsocialteaching #ctrfaith #IBelieveinCatholicEd "Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy." (Proverbs 31:8-9)

Congratulations to our March Good Shepherd Lives in Me award winners 🎉 💙💛
