History & Tradition
St. Helen Catholic School has served the area of Brockton Village in the Toronto Catholic District School Board for 143 years. It has been situated at 1196 College Street for the past 81 years. In 1994, a new building was erected in connection with the 1914 building which was refurbished. The architecture and design of our new school has won awards from the Ontario Architectural Conservancy and the Ontario Historical Society.
The school is dedicated to our patron, Saint Helen, the discoverer of the cross, and like her, seeks to serve the Lord through the stewardship with which He has charged us.
How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students
Within the presence of a Catholic environment of daily prayer and liturgical instruction, we strive for a safe and welcoming environment.
A code of behaviour stressing individual responsibility, respect and consideration for others is followed by our school. Parental input and support for this is vital. The safety of our students is a prime focus through daily education, a safe arrival program and presentations from safety officers and other relevant agencies.
On a cyclical basis, specific initiatives are targeted for intensive development. Science and technology, early literacy and peace education are our foci this year.
Programs are further modified for exceptional students as prescribed by IPRC or teacher planning. A rich array of co-curricular programs are offered to complement the school programs in religious, social, intellectual, physical and musical areas.
