PA Day Activities

At St. Agatha Catholic School, we pride ourselves on the strong partnership that exists among the home, the school and the parish.

At St. Agatha Catholic School, our Catholic faith is at the heart of school life. Each day begins with the singing of the national anthem followed by prayer, while faith is reflected in worship, our relationships, and the way we treat one another. Guided by the vision of the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), we nurture compassionate, responsible, and faith-filled students.

Students and families are expected to follow the school’s Code of Behaviour and the TCDSB’s dress code. Our school colours are blue and white. Student safety is a top priority, supported by the Safe Arrival Program, which ensures every child is accounted for and families are contacted when an absence has not been reported.

Technology is integrated throughout the school to enhance teaching and learning. Students have access to computers, mobile devices, interactive classroom technology, and the library learning commons, helping them develop the digital skills needed for success.

St. Agatha uses the School-Based Support Team model to identify and support students with diverse learning needs. Staff work collaboratively to provide accommodations and modifications, identify student needs, and make referrals for specialized assessments when appropriate.

Students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities that enrich school life, including athletics, house leagues, choir, chess, W5H teams, student leadership, educational excursions, performances, guest speakers, and other activities that complement classroom learning.

St. Agatha Catholic School opened in 1964 on Cathedral Bluffs Drive in Toronto’s Scarborough Bluffs community. Originally serving the local neighbourhood, it became Scarborough’s French Immersion school in the early 1980s in response to declining enrolment. Growing demand eventually led to the addition of 10 portable classrooms and, following advocacy from parents and staff, a permanent 10-classroom addition with a dedicated kindergarten wing. Construction began in 2011, and students and staff moved into the new space in February 2012. The addition was officially opened and blessed by Bishop Nguyen on June 7, 2012, featuring a student-created mural.

Today, hundreds of students attend St. Agatha, with approximately 60% enrolled in French Immersion. The school offers a wide range of athletic teams, clubs, leadership opportunities, and community initiatives, including food drives and holiday giving campaigns. A strong and engaged parent community, supported by our Catholic School Parent Council, contributes to school events and fundraising. Together, dedicated staff, enthusiastic students, and involved families create a welcoming, faith-filled community where students can learn, grow, and thrive.
