St. Patrick Catholic SchoolThis school had so much potential and for years was run by incredible admins. The last few years however have been an absolute dumpster fire! Constant staff changeover, kids running around ,students frustrated ,staff frustrated and needs increasing. Recipe for disaster!!!!!
They have lost their best staff and this is just compounding the problem. The school board needs to make some changes to admin but would rather see over 20 staff leave. Run away from this school.

Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic SchoolStaffing levels do not equate the needs of the school. EAs are often managing 2 plus special needs students and the students who are lower academically get very limited, if any support.
There is no standard for any disciplinary action. Staff are often exposed to verbal abuse, students always have the upper hand as there is no follow through. Unacceptable behaviour becomes the standard because of this and staff feel frustrated and helpless.
Being hit, slapped etc has become the norm for EAs. It shouldn’t be. It’s unacceptable that violence is so accepted and no one is looking for a solution. Yes ,PPE is provided but the term educational assistant implies you are helping students with their education not dressing in PPE to face a day of physical abuse. Something needs to change. I don’t think this schools experience is unique I think this stems throughout the Catholic board across the schools. I have worked in many and it also applies there too.

St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic SchoolExcellent experience when I supplied at St. Thomas Aquinas. Staff and admin were very helpful and welcoming. I continue to take ea supply calls there and highly recommend.

St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic SchoolI will never recommend this school to anyone nor will I step one foot into this building with this EA still employed here. She is a bully and creates a hostile, unsafe work environment. I’m not sure how she gets away with this all. Admin needs to step up and discipline this type of behaviour!! I’m sure they know what is going on in the school but turn a blind eye.

Eastdale C.V.I.This school is a joke. 4 principals and nothing is ever done to fix a problem. Superintendent can’t even reply to an email. No support for students who need it. Teachers are horrible, don’t follow rules and make up their own. Screaming in students faces. Absolute joke of a school with zero accountability even when proven wrong. 0/10 do not recommend.
