Our Philosophy
As children of God, made in God’s image, we are pilgrims learning and teaching at St. Paul School. Together we work to serve God and our fellow sisters and brothers. Jesus Christ is the focal point of our school life; where we not only learn about Christ, but also teach Christian principles by work and example. The activities of the school are filled and governed by the spirit of the Gospel. At St. Paul we endeavour to develop a true Christian community in which all members’ work together to promote the growth of one another. We challenge the students to achieve their highest level of performance and strive for excellence.
Our History
By: Eileen Fowler
Let’s look back to see how it all came to be…
As far back as 1944, plans for a Catholic school were made under the tenure of pastor Father Pat McEvoy. Land was purchased at Garden City Rd. and Granville Avenue. Unfortunately, through the years, the wishes of the Pastor and people did not materialize. When Father William Kilty arrived in 1952, there were around 200 families in the parish, and we needed a new and bigger church. In 1958 the five acres on which our complex now stands was purchased. Under the guidance of Father Kilty, a building committee of one hundred men solicited parishioners for funds.
