RND Catholic High School is excited to for the return of the RND Arts Camp, running July 13–17, 2026, at 130 Russell Street. This summer program invites students in (or entering) grades 5-8 to explore their creativity while choosing from a variety of arts disciplines, including instrumental music (band), choir, improv, visual arts, and dance.
Campers will have the unique opportunity to work directly with current RND students who are actively involved in the arts. This mentorship model helps young learners build confidence, develop new skills, and experience the vibrant arts community at RND.
The camp ends with a gallery walk and performance for the parents from 4:00-4:30pm on Friday, July 17th. Click here or on the image to register today!
The Catholic School Councils of Regiopolis-Notre Dame C.H.S. and Holy Cross C.S.S. are hosting a joint Family & Caregiver Information Night with Dr. Tom D'Amico, former Director of Education with the Ottawa Catholic School Board, on Thursday, April 16th at Holy Cross C.S.S. from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M.
This 90-minute session will provide a practical overview of artificial intelligence (AI), including its benefits, potential risks, and what families and caregivers should be aware of as young people increasingly engage with AI tools. Dr. D’Amico will also address important considerations around responsible use and the impact of AI on youth mental health.

We recognize the importance of technology in education; however, excessive or inappropriate use of personal mobile devices can disrupt learning and social interactions.
Students will be expected to store personal mobile devices out of sight during instructional time, except when their use is explicitly permitted by the educator. Progressive discipline measures will occur when students do not follow the expectations of the use of personal mobile devices. Exceptions will be made to the use of personal mobile devices for medical purposes and to support educational needs. Educators will plan accordingly with parents/guardians when these circumstances occur. Parents are asked to contact the main office at 613-545-1902 if they need to speak to their child during class hours.
Attendance tracking is crucial to us at RND. The Safe Arrivals Program allows families to report their child's absence in a convenient way. Using the Safe Arrivals Program, families will be able to report daily absences, such as an illness, medical appointment, etc., and schedule absences in one of three ways:
- SchoolMessenger app
- SchoolMessenger website
- Calling toll-free 1-844-445-4383

RND is blessed to have both a full-time youth worker, Amey Cancian and a full-time social worker, Edy Cruz-Fuentes.
