PA Day Activities

At St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School, we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and healthy environment where every child can thrive. Rooted in Catholic values, we challenge students academically while nurturing their spiritual growth.

Inspired by the teachings of Jesus, our staff welcome all with respect, care, and acceptance. Each school day begins and ends with prayer, and school Masses and liturgical celebrations are central to our faith community. From Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, students receive a rich religious education integrated into the curriculum.

Creating and maintaining a safe and welcoming environment is a top priority.

• Attendance is monitored daily and communicated to parents.

• Our Safe Arrival Program ensures all students are accounted for.

• Sign-in and sign-out procedures are required for appointments.

• A visitor policy is enforced at all times.

• Students regularly participate in fire drills and lockdown practices as required by the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB).

We believe students learn best when they feel safe and supported.

• Our Code of Conduct is outlined in student agendas for Grades 1 to 8.

• Discipline is handled individually, with a focus on positive reinforcement.

• Monthly assemblies recognize students who demonstrate outstanding behaviour and personal growth.

St. Elizabeth Seton follows the Ontario curriculum and TCDSB guidelines.

• Teachers collaborate to plan and deliver instruction that meets student needs.

• As a professional learning community, staff regularly analyze student work to set goals and improve instruction.

Activities take place before or after school, or during lunch.

• We opened in the fall of 1976 and have long been recognized as a vibrant centre of learning that is naturally connected to our surrounding neighbourhood.
