Discover our School
Our school respectfully acknowledges that we are located on the ancestral, traditional and unceded Indigenous territory of the Algonquin Peoples,
on whose territory we pray, learn, play and work.
The OCSB acknowledges the suffering experienced by Indigenous peoples in Canada's Residential Schools and is committed to Truth and Reconciliation. Read the OCSB Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action to learn more.
Our Family of Schools
We welcome students from the following OCSB feeder schools:
St. Daniel School (one time option going into Gr.7)
St. John XXIII School (one time option going into Gr.7)
St. Paul High School is an EcoSchool!
EcoSchools certification represents environmental excellence for kindergarten through grade 12 schools in Canada. Participation in the program allows students, teachers, school administrators, custodians, and parents to get a clear picture of their current environmental practices and take action to reduce their environmental footprint.
Each year, schools apply for certification by undertaking environmental actions, campaigns, and projects, and then recording them in the online EcoSchools Certification Application (ECA) to earn points. At the end of the year, school applications are assessed based on a standard established over 10 years of benchmarking and are awarded a final certification level.

Red Maple and White Pine Reading Club
The program is organized by the Ontario Library Association where each year 10 books by Canadian authors are selected for both high school (white pine) and intermediate (red maple) students. Students can qualify for a certificate in the end by reading at least 5 of the 10 selections. Those students along with others all over Ontario are also eligible to vote for the winner of best book for that year.
The club meets each week to discuss a new book. Students are encourage to attend and be a part of the discussion even if they haven't read that weeks selection.
Goals of the Reading Club:
to promote reading for enjoyment among high school students
to make students aware of quality Canadian young adult books
to provide opportunities for students to discuss the nominated titles in an authentic manner

Spirituality
St. Paul is privileged to have its own Chapel. The Chapel, located off the main hallway, is open daily as a quiet refuge for students and staff.
Our chapel is a sacred space set aside for the religious and spiritual needs of our school community and its members. Our Chapel is a distinguishing feature of our Catholic education system. Our chapel reminds us to make room for God who is at the center of all life. Our chapel’s primary function is to support personal prayer and communal liturgy as well as school pastoral programs. In addition, staff members are encouraged to use this space with their students for prayer and reflection.
Chaplaincy Department
Our school's current Chaplaincy Leader is Lindsay Moore-Chung.
How We Live Our Catholic Faith
The St. Paul community believes that a Catholic high school is one in which the teachings of Jesus Christ are integrated into the day-to-day curriculum and social fabric of high school life. We have many opportunities to pray and to live our Catholic faith by focusing on service, relationships, the Word of God, and by lay witness and leadership. We have visible Christian symbols throughout our school and our Pastors are invited to visit to participate in liturgical celebrations and sacraments. Our parish representative plays an active role on our Catholic School Council and is the liaison between church and school. St. Paul High School demonstrates its commitment to the community through:
FAMSAC Canned Food Drive
Toasty Toes Campaign
Christmas Hampers
Involvement in social justice organizations such as Development & Peace
Various Awareness Activities
