A grand opening ceremony was held for St. Raphael School, the Catholic component of Regina's newest joint-use educational facility, on May 28, 2026. The event marked a significant milestone for the community, bringing together students, parents, educators, and local officials to celebrate the new building.
Joint-Use Facility Benefits
The school is part of a joint-use model that allows Catholic and public school students to share facilities while maintaining separate administrative and educational programs. This approach maximizes resource efficiency and fosters collaboration between school divisions.
Community Response
Attendees expressed enthusiasm about the modern amenities and the opportunity for students to learn in a state-of-the-art environment. The joint-use design is expected to serve the growing population in Regina's southeast area.
The grand opening included tours, speeches from school board representatives, and a blessing of the building. St. Raphael School will welcome students for the upcoming academic year, offering programs from kindergarten through grade eight.
