Celebrating the Achievements of the Winter 2025 Personal Support Worker Graduates

On February 26th, we had the privilege of celebrating the achievements of our Winter 2025 Personal Support Worker graduates at St. Albert Learning Centre. This incredible group of diverse learners has demonstrated resilience, dedication, and a true calling to serve others—whether returning to school after many years, embarking on a second career, or beginning a new life in Canada.  

At the heart of our celebration was the reminder that no matter our religious beliefs, the core values of compassion, kindness, and service unite us all. Becoming a PSW is not just a job—it is a vocation to care for the most vulnerable, to bring dignity to those in need, and to be a light in our community.

A special thank you goes out to our special guests: Bishop Thomas Dowd, Father Raymond (Church of Christ the King) and Superintendent Natasha Folino, for their presence and support. 

A special mention to our secondary student, Ryan, who was our official photographer capturing the joy and pride of this special day!  

Congratulations to our award recipients!  
Debora – Valedictorian
Alysa – Highest Academic Award  
Sister Justine – Highest Placement Average  
Joshua – Estelle Scappatura Perseverance Award  
Nikhil & Abidemi – Perfect Attendance Award  

A huge thank you to our dedicated clinical instructors Dawn-Marie (who has helped train over 400 PSWs in the past 13 years!), Olivia, and Lexis (volunteer) for their invaluable support in guiding our students to success.  

And finally, to our graduates—we are so proud of you! May you continue to serve with compassion, integrity, and faith as you embark on this meaningful journey.
