Greetings from the New Principal of Assumption School

By Joan Janzen

Students and staff are enjoying another school year at Assumption Roman Catholic School in Oyen, and are joined by their new principal, Chloe Dick. Assumption School is a kindergarten to Grade 6 school.

Chloe Dick is the new principal at Assumption Roman Catholic School in Oyen.

Mrs. Dick is originally from Schuler, Alberta. “Before becoming principal, I had the pleasure of teaching Grade 3/4 at Assumption,” she said.

“I deeply understand the unique benefits of rural education and the ways it allows students to thrive in close-knit, supportive environments,” she added.

Mrs. Dick especially loves how the school community is rooted in hard work, connection and faith, where grandparents, parents, staff and the parish all work together with one goal in mind: the kids.

“At Assumption, everything we do focuses on nurturing children both spiritually and academically, cultivating a growth mindset, fostering critical thinking, and laying the foundations for lifelong learning,” Mrs. Dick said.

She noted the smaller, double-graded classrooms allow students to engage in different types of collaborative learning, and benefit from one-on-one and small-group support. Mrs. Dick is well-versed in the multi-grade classrooms.

“This year, I am looking forward to continuing to work along side our amazing staff and to provide a strong, well-rounded education, helping students grow in their faith and live out Catholic values,” she concluded.
