Opening Words:• Incredible Privilege To Stand Before You This Evening

• Fortunate to have opened - Christ the King 2010

• Amazing Opportunity for students, staff, families to shape a culture and climate in a Catholic School focused on student success in rich, diverse and authentic opportunities.

WE SEE OUR STUDENTS AS OUR CLIENTS… WE ARE HERE TO SERVE & MEET

THEIR NEEDS

All Saints High School:• This name was selected for its inclusive nature and

ability to represent saints from different cultural backgrounds, periods in history, genders and ages. It is meant to:

1. inspire personal faith formation experiences and connections with a variety of saints, in both students and staff

2. it allows for all members of the school community to strive toward holiness, by modelling their lives after those who have been recognized as saints.

Our Touchstone :Philosophical framework:

• High school environments provide opportunities for excellence in Catholic education and for students to succeed. Accomplishing this primary goal is achieved by establishing a learning community that is supported by all stakeholders through collaborative structures with a focus on the student.

• Recognition of the diverse and complex needs of high school students through flexible and personalized learning environments.

• The diverse learning styles of students should be incorporated into current teaching and learning methodologies.

ALL SAINT we are all about STUDENTS

Fast forward to your Graduation:

Two or three years – Until You Walk the Stage:• “What makes Catholic schools distinct is our attempts to

generate a community climate in the school that is permeated by the Gospel spirit of freedom and love.”Second Vatican Council

• Goal of Catholic schools is to develop students whose knowledge, skills and attitudes will prepare them to deal and excel with the challenges of life while growing in their faith.

• Faith and culture coming together so that faith becomes an active and visible part of the lives of staff and students.

We Are… All Saints

We are… committed to Championing our Students

We are… committed to Student Centered Learning

We are… committed to Collaboration

We are…committed to Professional Development

We are… Committed to Academic Excellence

Home of the Legends

The definition of legendary is someone or something that has become famous or well-known, usually as a result of a distinctive or unique characteristic or skill.

Why it is a Great Name:

• Each and every saint is a legendary person who is recognized as a saint today for their actions, words and deeds.

• There are over 25 pro and semi pro teams across North America called the Legends.

• At All Saints we will focus on examining these legendary individuals as we strive to develop characteristics in our students allowing them to be the best they can be.

We are ALL SAINTS… We are LEGENDS…

Get In the Action We are committed to offering a wide range of programs to meet student needs. If there is student interest and it is feasibly possible we will do everything we can to provide enhanced student opportunities.

The Legends will be taking the fields, the courts, & the stage in the fall demonstrating

Legendary Efforts.

Get In the Action

At ALL SAINTS we want…

• Engaged Students who participate in Extra & Co–Curricular Activities

Engaged Students are Successful Students

Get In the Action

The Legends will play in the Calgary Senior High Athletics Association

with all Calgary Catholic and Calgary Public High Schools
