PA Day Activities

St. Anthony Catholic School is a warm, welcoming and safe community facility that is steeped in respect, dignity, empathy and compassion. Our staff members care deeply about each student and about their accomplishments and growth. St. Anthony is a learning community where all members encourage and exhibit a love of learning.

We work very closely with the St. Anthony parish community. Our students are prepared for the sacraments of First Holy Communion, Reconciliation, and Confirmation. We celebrate monthly masses at St. Anthony church and have regular visits from Father Martinez and his associates. Monthly virtues (hospitality, gratitude, peacemaking, charity, courage, love, forgiveness, justice, compassion, faithfulness) are discussed and integrated into all aspects of school life. 

The emphasis on academics and continuous improvement at St. Anthony offers a vast array of activities and programs which serve the diverse needs of our community. We offer an extensive co-curricular schedule featuring a variety of school sports, leadership opportunities at various grade levels, chess, choir and student mentoring. 

We offer a five day Nutrition program which provides students with nutritious morning snack and also educates them on the importance of healthy living habits. 

St. Anthony has established many community partnerships, which strengthen both our students and programs. We work closely with the Dovercourt Boys’ and Girls’ club which offers varied after school programming. We regularly host co-op students from our neighbouring high schools, and student teachers from university Faculty of Education programs. We also have many volunteers who assist our classroom teachers in many capacities.

St. Anthony Catholic School was founded more than 90 years ago by the Sisters of Loretto. In the spring of 2006, the school welcomed students into a newly renovated and expanded facility, continuing its long tradition of Catholic education.

Throughout its history, St. Anthony has served generations of families from diverse cultural backgrounds. The school has welcomed successive waves of newcomers to Canada, including families of Irish, Italian, Portuguese, Central American, and South American heritage. Today, this rich cultural diversity remains a defining strength of the school community.

The school is named in honour of St. Anthony of Padua, the beloved Franciscan friar renowned for his preaching, teaching, and deep faith. His life of service and compassion continues to inspire the values of our school community. St. Anthony Catholic School remains proud of its strong tradition of academic excellence, athletic achievement, Christian values, and its enduring partnership with families, the parish, and the wider community. We also celebrate the many graduates who have made meaningful contributions to their communities and beyond.
