ST. THOMAS AQUINAS REGIONAL SECONDARY

PARENTS | STAFF | STUDENTS | ALUMNI

Principal's Message

St. Thomas Aquinas Regional Secondary School is a Catholic learning community committed to the development of the potential of each student. From its opening in 1959, St. Thomas Aquinas Regional Secondary School has served Catholic and non-Catholic students across the North Shore and beyond. As a Catholic High School, students do more than study their Christian faith through religious education courses on the Old Testament, the New Testament, Morality, Church History, Vocation and Christian Witness in the World. Students learn in an environment imbued by faith, where the dignity of the human person, one’s responsibility to develop one’s own gifts, and the call to serve others and the common good, shape and instill in students a sense of their own worth and their responsibility to the broader community.

Mission Statement

Share in the mission of the Church to proclaim and build the Kingdom of God; be committed to excellence in Catholicity and in all areas that promote the development of the whole child to his or her full potential; strive to develop Christian leaders, responsible citizens and life-long learners; strive to ensure every child feels safe, accepted and respected.

A Great Caring Community for me and now my family

I went to STA back in 1960 and now I am happy to call it my school of choice for my family.

Incredible Teachers and Outstanding Sports Programs

My children were well prepared for the rigours of university academics. They enjoyed a healthy sports life at STA while being supported in a community of Christ.

Athletics & Community Centre

The Athletic and Community Centre will be home to the STA athletic and physical education programs while providing an expanded gathering place for large-scale community events such as the school’s International Night. Situated in the centre of campus, the lower level lobby is adjacent to the gymnasium and features a north-facing three-story atrium. The 8,000 square foot gymnasium will provide two full courts and will seat up to 350 people in the retractable stands.

The New Home for North Shore Catholic Education

The new campus provides expanded academic, administrative and student commons spaces, enhanced technology to support 21st century learning, and a superior athletics and community centre. The Campus Master Plan is broken into two phases and will allow the school to operate on the site during construction. The $25 million Phase I will include the construction of a new Academic Wing, an Athletics & Community Centre and the renovation of the existing Science Wing. The final stage of Phase I will see the current school building demolished in preparation for the completion of the Campus Master Plan.
