How to use this website
We have created this website as a collection of valuable information about the programs, courses and opportunities that we have at St. Patrick's High School. You will find descriptions, explanations, pictures, videos, slide presentations, charts and links to other helpful resources. We hope that you explore everything that St. Pat's has to offer.
On the Home Page, you will learn about our school - our history, our uniform, chaplaincy, student support (including Guidance, Resource, ELL) and start the registration process. We are excited to have a 3D tour of our school as well. We LOVE our school and our Irish Family. We hope that you will learn what St. Pat's is all about.
The Intermediate Page is the stop for information for our grade 7/8 students. You can check out a sample student timetable and see pictures from our 7/8 classes. We have special information just for our new grade 7 students as well as an opportunity to learn about Sports, Music and Extra-curricular activities. There is also some information about Resource support in our grade 7/8 panel. We encourage our grade 7/8 students to also check out the High School Page to see what is in store for your future!
When you visit the High School Page begin with the presentations that give you the requirements towards earning your high school diploma. Then, check out each department page where you will find the department pathway along with courses that are highlighted (some are NEW for next year). In addition, you can view our three Specialist High Skills Major programs that we are very proud to offer at St. Pat's. It is also important that you watch the myBluePrint Instructional Video for your grade to help get started. You can then link to myBluePrint, where you can make your course selections.

Of course, you are always welcome to check with a guidance counselor, department head, curriculum leader or your teacher for more information, advice and suggestions.
