Mental Health Awareness Week is here 💚

Each year, schools and communities across Canada recognize this important week during the first full week of May, alongside Catholic Education Week. It’s a time to pause, reflect, and intentionally focus on student well-being within our faith-filled community.

This year’s theme, “Come Together, TCDSB,” reminds us that connection is at the heart of strong mental health. When we support one another, we build a community where everyone feels seen, valued, and cared for.

Our SLICE team (Student Leaders in Catholic Education) has been hard at work planning fun and meaningful lunchtime activities all week long — from karaoke to board games and more! 🎤🎲 These moments are all about bringing us together, creating joy, and strengthening connections.

We encourage all students to get involved, try something new, and take time to check in with themselves and each other.

Because when we come together, we thrive. 💫
