St. Luke Catholic School was established in 1973
to accommodate the wave of new Catholic immigrants in the area. On the present site, a
large portable unit opened its doors to approximately 200 students from junior
kindergarten to grade 8. During the initial years the school served primarily the Italian
and Portuguese communities. In 1977, a new building was completed with impressive
facilities, a double gym, design and technology, and science rooms. Over the next few
years, the school grew immensely and several portables were erected to serve an
ever-increasing population of students, predominantly of Portuguese origin. Presently, due
to the large enrolment, every available space is in use for classrooms. St. Luke
continues to be proud of its past, its academic and athletic excellence, its Christian
environment, school spirit and strong community ties.
The school is dedicated to the gospel writer St. Luke, who lived about 2000 years ago. He has been referred to as an artist, physician and scholar. Much of what we know about him is based on his writings. He wrote in detail about women, social outcasts and those who were less fortunate. Gentleness, forgiveness, and salvation are recurring themes in his works. What is most familiar are the lines which are so beautiful they have been turned into a prayer. Blessed are you among women. Blessed is the fruit of your womb. Whenever we say The Hail Mary we should remember this prayer was inspired by our patron St. Luke.
St. Luke School is committed to providing every student with the best possible educational opportunities, within a Catholic environment. The basic belief that each and every individual is a valued creation of God with gifts to share and needs which allow us to receive, validates our mission of fostering self-esteem, respect for life and helping one another to reach our potential. The underpinnings to our school life are daily prayer, religious instruction, excellence, relationships and harmony with the self, others and the environment.
We strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment for staff, students, parents and the community at large. Our behaviour code, security procedures, and safe arrival program contribute to this goal. The St. Luke code of behaviour, with clear staff and student expectations and consequences has been provided to every family in our community.
Our child-centered programs and varied evaluation strategies ensure student needs, strengths and interests are being acknowledged and are met. Curriculum initiatives are in keeping with current educational innovations. Outcomes based education rightly focuses on what students are expected to have developed at different stages of their schooling, while standards take into account the range of student performances that can be expected at stages of learning.
Curriculum and expectations are addressed and are modified to meet the needs of students at level, below level and above level through a variety of instructional, remediation and enrichment activities. The school-based support process and inter-disciplinary team assist in providing suggestions for appropriate placement and modification of programs. Programs are further modified for exceptional students as prescribed by the identification, placement and review committee or teacher determination.
Some of the special programs which cater to the uniqueness of our students and meet a variety of individual needs are: French as a second language, international languages (Portuguese), instrumental/vocal music, special education/learning disabilities and English as a second language.
A wide range of academic, social and athletic co-curricular activities enhance our school programs. Choirs, bands, chess clubs, W5H teams, science clubs, video clubs, sports and much more provide enriching opportunities for leadership, team and individual competition, development of co-operative skills, participation and excellence in a variety of areas.
We at St. Luke will continue to work to meet the diversified needs of all our students and to educate the whole child in an effort to equip our future citizens with the skills they will need to function as happy, well-rounded, successful and responsible individuals in an ever-changing, complex world.
