🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from the OCSB! 🧡 Today, we give thanks to God for the many blessings in our lives and for the people, relationships and moments that strengthen our school communities. As we gather with family and friends, may we take time to notice the blessings around us, give thanks for what we have and remember those who may be experiencing a difficult season. May this Thanksgiving be filled with gratitude, kindness and the joy of being together. Wishing our entire OCSB community a joyful and restful Thanksgiving! 🙏🍂 #HappyThanksgiving #Gratitude #ocsbNewBeginnings @ocsbRE

✨ Student voice is an important part of the #OCSB, and our Student Senate helps bring that voice to life. 💬 Made up of student leaders from each of our high schools, the Senate is a space to connect, share ideas, learn from one another and help shape the student experience across the OCSB. Throughout the year, the Senate will work together to share student perspectives, build leadership skills and contribute to conversations that matter to students across the Board. We’re excited to see the ideas, conversations and leadership this group will bring to the year ahead! 💛 #ocsbNewBeginnings #ocsbShoutOut #ocsbStudentLeadership #ocsbStudents

🐝✨ As we continue our journey of Nourish New Beginnings, we are invited to pause and notice the ways God is at work across the OCSB. In our classrooms, hallways, and school communities, moments of kindness, learning, friendship, and faith remind us that God is always creating something new. When we take time to see these everyday blessings, they become a source of hope that strengthens us for the journey ahead. May we ask God for the wisdom to recognize His presence and the courage to embrace the new beginnings He places before us. 💙 #OCSB #ocsbNewBeginnings @ocsbRE

🩷 Throughout Women's History Month, we're proud to celebrate remarkable women whose journeys began in the Ottawa Catholic School Board and whose leadership, achievements, and service continue to make a meaningful impact in our communities and beyond. We begin with Dr. Kim Corace, a St. Mark Catholic High School alumna and one of Canada's leading voices in mental health, psychology, and health care innovation. Her story is a powerful reminder that today's students are tomorrow's changemakers. Through curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to helping others, Dr. Corace has dedicated her career to improving lives and advancing mental health care across Canada. Join us this month as we celebrate inspiring women from the OCSB community whose stories continue to empower the next generation! #WomensHistoryMonth #OCSB #ocsbNewBeginnings

October is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month! 💙 Learning disabilities like dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia can affect how a student processes, understands or communicates information, but they do not define a student’s abilities or potential. At the OCSB, we recognize that students learn in different ways. By understanding individual strengths and providing the right tools and support, we can help every student learn, grow and feel like they belong. 🔗 Learn more about our Special Education services and access our Guide to Special Education for Families at ocsb.ca/special-education. #OCSB #LearningDisabilitiesAwarenessMonth

🧡🪶This week, the OCSB joins communities across Canada in honouring and commemorating Residential School Survivors, remembering the children who never returned home, and acknowledging the lasting impact of residential schools on First Nations, Inuit, and Métis families and communities. As educators and learners, we are called to seek truth with open hearts and minds. Through learning and reflection, we can help build relationships rooted in respect, understanding, and reconciliation. #TruthAndReconciliationWeek #EveryChildMatters #ocsbBeCommunity #ocsbNewBeginnings

👟❤️ Today, on National Terry Fox Day, we celebrate the legacy of Terry Fox and the countless school communities that continue his Marathon of Hope. At the OCSB, that legacy lives on through students who lead with compassion and purpose. Earlier this year, we shared the inspiring story of Holy Trinity Catholic High School, whose Terry Fox tradition has become a defining part of its school community, raising more than $42,000 for cancer research and ranking second among Ontario high schools. As communities across Canada prepare for the Terry Fox Run, we're reminded that every step taken together brings hope for a better tomorrow. 📖 Read Holy Trinity's inspiring story: ocsb.ca/2026/09/18/holy-trin… #NationalTerryFoxDay #TerryFox #OCSB #ocsbNewBeginnings
