Dear TCDSB Community,

As we wrap up the 2023-2024 academic year, I wish you a summer filled with joy and relaxation. May the coming months be full of cherished moments and wonderful memories that you will treasure for years to come.

As we transition into summer, I want to share some important updates and opportunities that will keep you informed and connected with our community:

Pastoral Plan

We invite you to reflect on the third year of our outgoing Pastoral Plan, "Walking with Christ with Minds of Justice and Peace." Let's embody these values throughout the summer and carry them forward into the new school year with our students and the wider Toronto Catholic community.

TCDSB News

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Brendan Browne has agreed to a five-year renewal contract as Director of Education, following negotiations directed by our Board of Trustees. This decision ensures continuity in our system and builds on the remarkable progress we have made under his leadership.

This time of year is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our shared journey and the values that bind us together as a community. It is a moment to appreciate the growth and achievements of our students, the dedication of our staff, and the unwavering support of our families and partners.

Have a wonderful summer,

Dr. Brendan Browne
