Virtues Program
As young Catholics and ambassadors for Our Lady of Peace Catholic Elementary School we expect all students to demonstrate a willingness to actively follow Jesus’ example in their daily lives. Through living of the gospel values and monthly virtues, our school continues to be a safe, orderly and caring community where all students have every opportunity to learn, develop good character and become responsible citizens.
We will continue to promote good character through the Virtues program. Virtues education is infused into all of our daily routines. Developing positive virtues among our students is key to maintaining the positive climate that exists in our school.
Throughout the current school year we will focus on the particular virtues as promoted by the Dufferin-Peel Catholic School Community.

Catholic Graduate Expectations
Catholic education views human life as an integration of body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in this vision, Catholic education fosters the search for knowledge as a lifelong spiritual and academic quest. The expectations of Catholic graduates, therefore, are described not only in terms of knowledge and skills, but in terms of values, attitudes and actions.
The Graduate is expected to be:
- A discerning believer
- An effective communicator
- A reflective, creative and holistic thinker
- A self-directed, responsible, lifelong learner
- A collaborative
- A caring family member
