Land Acknowledgement
The Creator gifted us with this land that we are blessed to share and care for together.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledgethat we live, work, learn, and play on Treaty 1 and 2 territories, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Ojibway-Cree, Dakota, and Dene, the homeland of the Metis Nation and where some of our Inuit brothers and sisters now make their home.
Statement of Commitment
Manitoba Catholic Schools recognizes that all people are created in the image and likeness of God, and we promote safe and inclusive learning and working environments in which all individuals are treated with dignity and respect.
The entire CTK School community embodied the spirit of Christmas in actively helping coordinate and collect canned and dried food for Christ the King Church Christmas Hampers.
Thank you to all for your generosity in helping those in need!

The Grade 6-8 students had an amazing opportunity to participate in a video conference with Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques. We were one of five schools in Canada that took part and only one of two elementary schools. The following schools participated: Greenall High School (Saskatchewan); Christ The King School (Manitoba); John Fraser Secondary School (Ontario); Courtland Park International School (Quebec); and Bonar Law Memorial School (New Brunswick).
The event was live streamed on the Canadian Space Agency You Tube channel and can be viewed as a past live stream video. The link to it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ktR3eZ6GdY.
Each school asked three questions. Our students asked: Who or what inspired you to become an astronaut?; What are you most excited about and what is your mission?; How far do you think space travel and space science will go?
David Saint-Jacques did a very good job of answering all the questions posed to him and the students enjoyed the experience. Our Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Rob Praznik, was able to attend as well. It was an educational experience that everyone will remember for a very long time!
A sod turning ceremony was held June 20, 2018 to kick off the development of a new playground for Christ the King School, located at 12 Lennox Ave. Neighborhood residents, school families and staff and dignitaries took part in the ceremony.
The playground improvements will be carried out in three phases; the first phase to be completed this fall includes removing existing pea gravel and replacing it with Engineered Wood Fiber, installing new play equipment and adding a picnic table and bench seating. Phase 2 (2019-20) will focus on landscaping the school’s field area and creating a space for an outdoor classroom. Phase 3 will see landscaping improvements to enhance the school’s south entrance.
Funding for Phase 1 was made possible through a $30,000 Community Incentive grant through the City of Winnipeg and St. Vital Counsellor Brian Mayes. Additional funds were raised by the Christ the King School Parent Advisory Committee, the Lennox Club, the board of Christ the King School and by students attending the school.
Background:
Christ the King School is a not for profit, incorporated Catholic School community located at 12 Lennox Street in Winnipeg Manitoba (St. Vital Ward). The school and adjoining Christ the King Church operate within the Archdiocese of St. Boniface.
Christ the King School offers programming for children ages 4-14, preschool to grade 8, and is open to children of all faiths. The school follows standards set by the Province of Manitoba Education curriculum. Learning is supported by a Catholic educational environment in which student grow strong academically and as kind and compassionate individuals. As a school community we reinforce the teachings of the Catholic Church in our day to day learning including: Love, Compassion, Friendship, Prayer, Unity, Service, Kindness and Tolerance.
Mission Statement:
Christ the King school is committed to the full development of each child. Collaborating in the Churches’ mission of education, Christ the King School complements the educational efforts of the family and parents, who are the foremost educators of their children. Christ the King students are helped to recognize their giftedness and their responsibility to use these gifts in the service of others.

Excerpt:
“Emily Doyle and Vrinda Vyas from Holy Cross School in St. Boniface, and Jonah Norman from Christ the King School in St. Vital, were selected for Team Manitoba at the Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF) that was held this year in Ottawa from May 12 to 19.
The trio earned the right to represent the province at the prestigious event after placing in the top three at the Bison Regional Science Fair (BRSF) that was held earlier this spring, when Grade 4 to 8 students from 13 schools entered 177 projects.”
