Pastoral

The Divine Hearts Pastor Team plays a central role in helping to promote the community of schools that are Christ-centered activities and events. Our team plans our celebrations of religious beliefs, school crowds and ceremonial calendars. Students feel free to come and chat with pastor team members at any time. Students are encouraged to participate in the ceremonial life of the school - from reading the morning's reflection, to helping the people and school etiquette.

Each student participates in a scheduled reflection and retirement experience each year. Pastor's office helps to coordinate the nascent peer course. This guidance involves high school students showing new facilities to their new students and explaining various school groups and clubs through our S.M.A.S.H. program.

Equal educational opportunities

The policy of our schools, the Ontario government, and the Board of Trustees of York Catholic School is to provide equal educational opportunities for all students. Sacred Heart Catholic High School is committed to creating an environment without stereotypes or prejudices and may limit the development of individual students. It defines the individual, cultural, emotional and spiritual needs of students and points to different needs and future education.

Library Resource Center

The School Library Information Center is part of the education program for the Board of Education of the Catholic District of York. Teachers - Librarians Work with major teachers to focus on the information literacy skills necessary to develop and implement successful student achievement. Information literacy refers to the ability to acquire, critically select and effectively use and disseminate information in a way that promotes knowledge, higher levels of thinking, and intelligence. The Information Studies course taught by the School Library Information Center emphasizes the development of research, presentation, information and electronic literacy skills. In addition, faculty-librarians ensure that staff and students are provided with robust prints to meet the needs of a variety of curricula. Students become more capable users of information to better successfully perform the research tasks required for the course. The teaching program at the School Library Information Center also fosters life-long literacy and a love of reading. This is accomplished by creating a dynamic teaching environment that reflects the values of our Christianity and the expectations of Ontario Catholic College graduates.
