Address Dear Students and Parents,

providing unique opportunities for young men and women to earn their Ontario Secondary School

Diploma. Our focus on career exploration, involvement in co-curricular activities and commitment

to the pursuit of personal leadership is designed to support learners to grow in faith and to become

problem solvers and decision makers. Each individual in our learning community has an obligation to

learn and to grow spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, morally and socially to better serve one

another and the greater society.

Making informed choices regarding life destinations remains critical. We invite students, parents,

teachers and school support personnel to join in a collaborative discourse to ensure sound and

effective decision making. A great deal of thought and hard work has gone into preparing this course

calendar to assist you in making appropriate decisions and planning for a successful school career. We

encourage you to use this book wisely and well!

Religious Expectations

Thank you for choosing to send your son/daughter to Ascension of Our Lord Catholic

Secondary School.

The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (the “Board”) is committed to providing

quality Catholic education which views human life as an integration of body, mind and spirit.

Rooted in this vision, Catholic education fosters the search for knowledge as a lifelong

spiritual and academic quest. The expectations of Catholic school graduates, therefore, are

described not only in terms of knowledge and skills, but in terms of values, attitudes, and

actions. The Catholic School Graduate is therefore, expected to be; a discerning believer; an

effective communicator; a reflective, creative and holistic thinker; a self-directed,

responsible, lifelong learner; a collaborative contributor; a caring family member; and a

responsible citizen.

The Board supports freedom of religion and an individual’s rights to manifest his/her

religious beliefs and observances. The right to freedom of religion, however, is not absolute

and religious accommodation in the Board is carried out in the larger context of the Catholic

educational system and denominational rights of Catholic schools.

The Board recognizes that any form of social or cultural discrimination is incompatible with

Catholic moral principles and is in violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code. The Board

recognizes that the school system gives pre-eminence to the tenets of the Catholic faith,

congruent with the protection afforded in the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Constitution

Act, 1982 and confirmed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Board and its staff are committed to the elimination of discrimination as outlined in

Ontario’s Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy and the Ontario Ministry of Education

Policy/Program Memorandum No. 119, in a manner which is consistent with the exercise of

the Board’s denominational rights under section 93 of the Constitution Act, 1982 and as

recognized at section 19 of the Ontario Human Rights Code.

The historical mandate of the Catholic school system in Ontario is to model the entire

syllabus of the school on the life and teaching of Jesus. As such, the Dufferin-Peel Catholic

District School Board has expectations of all students admitted.

Our religious expectations are as follows:

1. All students will enrol in a Religion course in each of the four years. All Religion courses

are approved by the appropriate Catholic authority. The Government of Ontario

recognizes that Religion credits count towards a secondary school graduation diploma.

2. All students will participate in an annual retreat for the first four years that they are in a

secondary school. The retreat normally takes place during the school day at a site off

school property. The school chaplain organizes the annual retreat based on spiritual

themes appropriate for adolescents.

3. All students will participate in the prayer and in the liturgical life of the school. Catholic

students are expected to participate fully as mandated by their sacramental Baptism.

Non-Catholic students are expected to participate to the extent that they can. It is not

the intention of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic School Board to proselytize, however, for

supervision, safety and community reasons, the entire school participates in all religious

events that occur during the school year. At a minimum, non-Catholic students will

attend and maintain respectful silence at all religious observances. All students are

encouraged to get involved.

4. Students requesting accommodations must present written notice from their

parents/guardians specifying their accommodation needs relating to religious

observances, including holy days on which they will be absent from school. This notice

should be made in advance (preferably at the beginning of each school year) to ensure

that scheduling of major evaluations, such as tests, assignments or examinations, takes

the religious observances into consideration.

5. The Catholic District School Boards of Ontario follow approved provincial curriculum.

Given the distinctiveness of Catholic schools, the Government of Ontario recognizes

parallel curricula for our system based on Catholic course profiles. All courses in all

subject areas, in a Catholic secondary school, are taught from a Catholic perspective.

We hope that your experiences in our Catholic secondary schools will be rewarding.

Sincerely,

K. Richardson Principal
