In 2010, the annual Blitz took place on May 17 and raised $20,100. In 2014, the annual Blitz took place on February 20 and raised $26,000.

Sports

College Notre-Dame boys' hockey team captured their school's first-ever title at the Franco-Ontarien tournament, held in April 2013 in Hamilton.

Uniforms

The students were required to wear classic uniforms, such as a navy blue cardigan or sweater vest, a red tie and grey pants for boys, and a navy blue cardigan or sweater vest and grey pants or skirt for girls, complete with a white shirt for both sexes but this was changed. Students are now offered to wear the grey pants as shorts, and the uniform now consists of polo t-shirts in white and navy, rugby sweaters, quarter-zip sweaters and hoodies.
