To say that Pope John Paul II
Catholic Secondary School opened its door to its first students on September 6, 1983,
would be true but misleading. On that day 135 students arrived at 685 Military Trail to
begin their academic careers at PJPII. But there were many doors to open. The school
community of that day was housed in the former St. Bede's Catholic School and in a dozen
temporary portable classrooms. In 1984 the student population doubled as did the number of
portables. Portables were to be our reality as we watched the construction of the new
school.
The birth of the school in a tangle of temporary portables and the upheaval of construction fostered a community that was spirited, full of humour, close, supportive and caring. Despite the growth, there remains a commitment to maintaining these values of a balanced and caring community.
Growth and expansion have been key elements in the intervening years. The physical structure took six years to complete. In the spring of 1989 the building was officially blessed and opened.
One of the first Catholic high schools to be built under extended provincial funding, our school is a modern facility built in a circle enclosing a beautifully landscaped courtyard. The school has 41 classrooms, four science laboratories, three gymnasiums, a large library, a student services area, a drama room, two music rooms, a drafting room, two tech shops, and two art rooms. At the heart of the school is the chapel. The design and decorating of the chapel were paid for from monies raised by the students for this purpose.
PJPII has established a fine reputation for academic excellence. Ninety percent of our graduates go on to successful post-secondary education. Each year an average of 4.7% of graduates receive scholarships from the province, universities and foundations.
Pope John Paul II is an ideal setting in which to learn. Our bright, cheerful, well maintained plant provides the framework for a safe environment and a sense of belonging, key components in the learning process.
To assist students in this process, our in-school support systems supply a detailed course calendar, a school agenda and a clearly defined behaviour code. These guidelines serve as parameters for students engaged in the self-directed, self-motivated process of the lifelong learner.
