History & Tradition
Holy
Name Catholic School first opened its doors to elementary students in
1913. The Sisters of St.
Joseph were the first to teach and administer in those early days.
The
original school, built in 1913 had four rooms on the main floor. The second floor was not yet divided and served as the chapel
until the basement of Holy Name Church was completed in 1914.
By 1918 eight more classrooms were added.
In
1931, two more portables were installed and in 1949 an 8 room addition was
built. To service the
ever-increasing population an annex was built in 1957 and extended in 1961
to provide a total of 31 classrooms.
In 1968 the annex was joined to the main building providing a
library, a gymnasium and several more classrooms.
How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students
Our Catholic schools contribute to the formation of our children in their faith life. In partnership with the home and parish, our students grow in knowledge of prayer, scripture and Catholic teaching. The following initiatives and activities represent some of the ways we intend to serve our local Catholic school community.
- Partnership with parents and the local Catholic School Advisory Council
- Liturgical Celebrations
- Faith in Action (Charitable Activities)
- Mathematics Competitions
- Partnership with Faculty of Education, University of Toronto
- Sacramental Celebrations
- School Performances
- Music Festival
- Athletics
- Chess
- Vocal/Instrumental Music Programs
- French as a Second Language, grades 1-8
Holy Name School values the Arts. Through them we recognize that children
can learn, dream, hope and have faith. All of our students from Junior
Kindergarten through to Grade 8 will experience the Arts in a very
purposeful way. Through the year classes will perform and/or showcase their
learning. Times and dates for these moments will be in the monthly
newsletters which can be accessed through the school website.
Also see Holy Name's website to see our Fish Slipping Through Net Studio
which is part of our ongoing link with the Butterfly Peace Garden in Sri
Lanka.
