Mr. Arthur Therrien

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying a peaceful start to the new year. It is with gratitude and a deep sense of purpose that I write to introduce myself as the incoming Principal of Notre Dame Regional Secondary, beginning in January and serving through the remainder of the school year.

​

I am honoured to join a community rooted in faith, learning, and service—values that have guided my own vocation in education for many years. Throughout my career in Catholic and independent schools, I have been continually inspired by the transformative power of a Christ-centred education: one that nurtures the mind, strengthens the spirit, and calls each young person to become who God created them to be.

​

In the months ahead, my focus will be on listening, learning, and supporting the strong foundation already in place. I look forward to working closely with students, staff, families, and parish partners to ensure continuity, stability, and a joyful learning environment. My hope is to accompany the community through this transition with clarity, compassion, and a commitment to the mission that Notre Dame such a special place.

​

Over the coming weeks, I will be connecting with staff and visiting classrooms to get to know the rhythms of the school and the gifts of the people who make it flourish. I look forward to meeting parents and guardians as well and the opportunities for conversation and connection early in the new year.

​

Thank you for welcoming me into your community. Please know that I am already praying for our students and for the months of learning and growth ahead. I look forward to serving you and walking together in faith.

​

With gratitude and blessings,

​

Arthur M. Therrien,

Incoming Principal, Notre Dame Regional Secondary
