Opening enrolment numbers reported to Trustees at the Regular Board Meeting on October 27, 2026 continue to show year-over-year growth at St. Clair Catholic schools.

The Board welcomed 9,644 students to begin the 2026-2027 school year, marking the fourth consecutive year of increased enrolment.

Grade 10 civics students at Ursuline College Chatham turned the cafeteria into a polling station on Municipal Election Day, inviting the school community to cast their own ballots.

UCC students were invited to take part in a simulated election, voting for Chatham-Kent mayor and the two seats in Ward 6.

Playground core boards are helping support inclusive communication and play across St. Clair Catholic schools.

The boards feature commonly used words with accompanying symbols to help students communicate during recess. The board is a form of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and while it is designed for students who are non-speaking or may need help communicating, they can be used by everyone.
