Seana Stewart

Principal of Student Services & Inclusive Schooling Coordinator

I love being part of Yellowknife Catholic Schools. I have been living and teaching in the north since 1998, minus one year when we went back to Halifax. My husband and I lived and taught in Behchoko for three years before moving to Yellowknife. I taught at Aurora College for one year then joined Yellowknife Catholic Schools in 2004. Since then I have been blessed with two children who have gone through Weledeh and St. Pat's. I started teaching at Ecole St. Joseph, then moved to Weledeh in 2006. I moved into program support in 2011 and worked at both Weledeh and St. Pat's. In 2018 I became Assistant Principal at Weledeh. I am now the Regional Inclusive Schooling Coordinator. I believe that school is an inclusive environment where relationships mean so much to a child and their ability to learn. Everyone should feel and be accepted as part of our school community, and participate in all of the activities that make our schools great. I believe that students are successful when they know that someone cares about them and supports their needs. I believe that YCS drives our students to have faith, believe in themselves, and directs them to follow their personal learning journey.

Bonjour, Originally from Quebec, in 2013 I moved to Yellowknife. Since then, I've been working for Yellowknife Catholic Schools. I completed a bachelor degree in Psychology at the University of Montreal and a second bachelor degree in Education, specialized in teaching French Language Arts at the University of Quebec. I first worked as a Literacy Support Teacher at École Saint-Joseph School and since 2019, I am the French Language and Program Coordinator for our district. I appreciate how our students are motivated to learn a second language. Therefore, I care about our students' needs and my ultimate goal is to help them to grow as bilingual individuals. I believe that collaboration, partnerships and inclusion are the keys to realize our goals.
