Welcome to St. Veronica Catholic School!
What Is Our School About?
It is about learning. It is about family. It is about community. The parents, teachers and students make up our community of learners. Learning takes place in an inviting, stimulating, safe environment. It is our responsibility to create this setting for each and every child in the school.
Here at St Veronica, the staff work hard at creating a great learning environment for the children on a daily basis. We want each and every child to get excited about coming to school each day. We want them to develop a positive self-esteem from positive and encouraging feedback from teachers and parents. To do this it takes every member of our learning community at St Veronica.
Remember that our Primary purpose is the development and well being of the children. Parents, teachers and students are working together and inspired by Jesus.

---SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT---
As this winter season moves along, the weather is being very agreeable for the winter outdoor activities we all enjoy!
Just bundle up and take in the winter scenery, especially at the local conservation sites. The young ones love to find strange footprints in the snow, not to mention the sight of a few blue jays perched in the tree! You can lace up the ice skates and spend some time at the local outdoor skating pad, meeting up with other parents and kids from school, socializing and having fun!!! And if you are feeling especially adventurous, it`s a short trip to some amazing snow capped hills for tubing, skiing and snowboarding!!! With all these sport activities, proper helmets and equipment must always be used to stay safe.
Now, let`s all get out there and be active... our kids are watching!!!!
BE HEALTHY, BE ACTIVE!
Vaughan Community Centres for recreational Skate and Free Outdoor Skating:
Remember that wearing a helmut for outdoor winter sports can prevent serious injuries. Keep you and your family safe!
