School History and Traditon
St. Malachy Catholic School opened in September 1969, in portables at St. Martin de Porres School, with eight teachers and 225 students. The school moved to its permanent site in March 1979, which was formerly owned by Arthur and Emma Bennett, and was farmland used for mixed farming and raising hogs. The Metropolitan Separate School Board (MSSB) - now the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) - purchased the site on July 8 , 1954 and construction of the school began during the summer of 1969. Mrs. Mary Michell was the first principal of the school, and was instrumental in establishing an Irish flavour to the school.
Our school is named after the first Irishman who became a legal saint, Mael Maedoc Ua Morgair. Born in 1095 in Northern Ireland, Malachy was raised in a very religious and highly moral home where he learned obedience, self-discipline and fair play. As Bishop of Connor, he brought faith back to the people through kindness and wholesome severity. St. Malachy's feast day is celebrated each year with readings, the St. Malachy Song, and with everyone wearing the school colours: green, white and orange.
