Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School
Catholic elementary school in Courtland, Ontario, Canada
Our Lady of Fatima is a Roman Catholic school in Courtland, Ontario, Canada. The school motto is Small School with a Big Heart and the principal is Terry Dunnigan. The school is part of the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board. This school contains six classrooms, one portable, one library/tech room, one small gymnasium, one staff lounge, four student washrooms, one staff washroom, two change rooms, one kitchen, and two janitor's closets. In approximately 2007, the CN company in Toronto recognized the school as being "too" small, and at the time having less than 100 students. They suggested that closing the school would be the best option for the school board, and send the students and the highest seniority staff to another nearby school in the same board. Although the decision was highly considered by the school board, a meeting was held in the school's gymnasium, and based on board official, staff, and parent opinions, decided not to close the school.
