CSNC’s purpose and mission is to maximize student

opportunities for learning in a respectful environment.

Our Mission

Principal Reflection

At Collège St. Norbert Collegiate, student achievement is the primary

focus of everything we do. From academic success to excellence in

athletics and the Arts, our students are continually challenged to reach

their full potential and prepare themselves for life beyond high

school. Our year-end Community Report provides a short synopsis of our

school’s goals and achievements undertaken in the 2018-2019 school

year.

A continued focus for CSNC this year was to increase higher order

thinking and learning opportunities for all students through reading,

writing, and speaking. Teachers regularly collaborate to design engaging

tasks and provide the necessary supports to assist students reach

success in this area.

CSNC prides itself in having a culture that accepts and values all people,

regardless of any differences. Our inclusive mindset is demonstrated

regularly as students lead and participate in social justice, leadership,

GLOW/GSA, Peer Support, and a mental health committee.

As always, the performing arts and athletics are a tremendous part of the

culture at CSNC. Our Celtics have demonstrated their talents and

accomplishments through their various athletic teams, dozens of

performances, and always represented CSNC with “pride and power”

In closing, the success we have experienced throughout the school year is

dependent on many people. Thank you to the students, parents, family,

friends, staff and community members who have contributed to the

successes of 2018-2019.
