St. Patrick Catholic Secondary School tradition in Toronto dates back to 1852 with the founding of our elementary school, and 1986 with the opening of our secondary school on D'Arcy Street, and 1989 with our move to Toronto east. here, on the site formerly occupied by Lakeview Public Secondary, the Metropolitan Separate School Board (now the Toronto Catholic District School Board) undertook a major commitment to redesign, renovate and construct a large, modern, fully composite and co-educational Catholic secondary school. Phase 3 of that construction, which includes the creation of new up-to-date facilities for construction and communication technology, theatre and visual arts, and physical education, was recently completed.
Our lovely school chapel was dedicated in 1994 to St. Patrick of Ireland (385-461), patron saint of Irish refugees to Canada in the 1840's, and St. Marguerite Bourgeoys (1620-1700), Canada's first woman saint, pioneer educator and foundress of the Congregation de Notre Dame. Together they embody our finest values and traditions: religious, educational, pastoral, humanitarian and historic.
Our population, our modern facilities and program diversity, and wide range of activities from arts to technology, from academics to athletics, allow us to reflect and serve the entire community and fully prepare all students for post-secondary education and careers.

TCDSB Congratulates Chess
Champ
The Toronto Catholic District School Board is proud to
announce that Artiom Samsonkin, a student from St. Patrick Catholic
Secondary School in east Toronto, has won the 37th
Canadian Junior Chess Championships for the top chess players under
20 years old.
Samsonkin will represent Canada in the 2008 World Junior Chess Championship to be held in Ankara, Turkey in August.
The Canadian Junior Chess Championship was created in 1957 to select Canada's representatives to the 4th World Junior Chess Championship, which Canada hosted later that year in Toronto, Ontario. The event was revived in 1970 as the most objective way of selecting Canada's representative to the World Junior Chess Championship. It has been held annually since 1972-1973.

Catholic District School Board Celebrates Exemplary Practices
Each year, the Toronto Catholic District School Board
is proud to acknowledge innovative programs and special projects at
local schools with the TCDSB Exemplary Practice Award. The winners
of the ninth annual awards were honoured at a special ceremony and
reception in April. Among the winners is:
St.
Patrick Catholic Secondary School (Toronto):
A Curricular Approach to
Developing Facility and SEA Grant Equipment--Students who receive hardware and software support through SEA (formerly
ISA) grants require explicit teaching and opportunities for practice to
develop their facility with these assistive technologies.
“Each year we are impressed with the variety and quality of submissions that we receive for consideration for the Exemplary Practice Awards. It reminds us of the amazing things that can be accomplished when the many partners in Catholic education focus their energies on a common goal,” says Director of Education Kevin Kobus. “These winners have distinguished themselves by boldly daring to implement new approaches to learning, and who have succeeded in their endeavours. It is our hope that others will be inspired in their pursuit of new and innovative ideas that will continue to build upon the quality of education in our Catholic schools.”
St.
Patrick Exhibit Remembers Their Own
A unique Remembrance Day Exhibit at St. Patrick
Catholic Secondary School reminded the community of the close connections so
many have with veterans. Put together by teacher Mark Sherlock with the
assistance of Tom Beauvais and Rob Carino from the school’s History
Department, the exhibit includes a wide variety of authentic medals,
uniforms, posters, letters, photographs, government broadsides as well
military hardware.
The theme of the exhibit is one of remembrance and sacrifice. Of particular interest to the school community was the number of family members, both of students and staff, who were called upon to make a personal sacrifice for their country. Some of those individuals recognized in the exhibit are:
Albert Beauvais: Albert was a very patriotic 10th generation Canadian who didn't hesitate to enlist when war broke out. He had served in the militia with the Royal Dragoons before the war and transferred to the Canadian Field Artillery to serve overseas. He was in every major battle with the CEF including Vimy Ridge, Passendaele, Mount Sorrel and Ypres. After the war, Albert went on to become the first Roman Catholic Fire Chief in the history of Toronto. His grandson, Thomas Beauvais is currently on staff at St. Patrick.
Donald Cameron: Donald was 18 in the summer of 1940, and was accepted for training as a Spitfire pilot at Biggin Hill, one of the largest RAF airfields located just southwest of London. When his commanding officers found out that he was an only child and that he was looking after his infirm mother they re-assigned him to a less risky job. He was posted to the London 101st Anti-Aircraft Battery where he served as an aerial gunner. He was stationed in Hyde Park throughout the Blitz. Donald's son, Liam is a teacher in the school’s Special Education Department.
Fr. Stuart: Fr. Stuart was in the Burma missions with the Columban missionaries when war broke out. He was caught behind enemy lines when the Japanese mached through Burma. Instead of fleeing, he remained to tend to the pastoral needs of his congregation, among whom were many guerrilla fighters in the highlands. He was instrumental in saving the lives of many allied airmen who were shot down over Burma and had both harrowing and amusting encounters with the Japanese. These have been documented in the books “Burma Mission” and “Leathernecks of God” He immediately became a special aid and intelligence source to the American guerilla force, Merrill’s Marauders, about which a movie has been made. Fr. Stuart's niece, Noelle Stuart, is a teacher in the Technical Department at the school.
The display can be found in the main foyer of the school at 49 Felstead Ave. and is open to the public during school hours until November 30th. For more information, contact Mark Sherlock at the school at 416-393-5546.--More
