Our family and children have been involved at St Louis Catholic School since 2013. We have been grateful for the loving and supportive, faith-filled environment in which our children have been learning. Over the years, we have seen many changes - some good, some not so good. However, at the heart of the school, the dedication to creating a supportive learning environment has not changed. We love the weekly school Mass at which our children have the opportunity to serve.Our children have all had different learning styles, strengths, and needs.
