Fast Facts and Bell Times

History

The school is named after St. John Paul II. The school was founded in 1980 and has been located on the current site since 1980. St. John Paul II is linked with St. Mary's Parish (Lindsay).

We work closely with many community organizations such as: Boys and Girls Club of Kawartha Lakes, Five Counties, City of Kawartha Lakes Police and the Kawartha Lakes Fire Rescue Unit.

Students regularly work with community volunteers to learn about the Rosary. This culminates with a celebration during Catholic Education Week in May each year.

Did you know that...

• • At St. John Paul II each year the staff and students raise money to support The Terry Fox Foundation, The United Way, Jump Rope for Heart and Canadian Food for Children.

  • Our Green Team runs a weekly waste reduction program at St John Paul. Our Green Team educates each class on what and how items can be recycled. The students then collect and sort the recycled materials and prepare it for pick up.
