A very bad school. Not like any other high school. NEVER ATTEND HERE

With over 20+ years in special education this is by far the most violent school I have ever worked in. Multiple students & staff have been severely injured by students and multiple small class staff have been injured to the point they can no longer do the job.

Disappointing experience. Safety concerns don’t always get addressed.. Would not recommend.

St Andre use to be a good enough school but over the past year it has by far become one of the most toxic environments you can send your child to. *** was the worst principal by far I have seen at this school. *** is right up there with her. Complete lack of diversity for the increased population of black children. With an increased level of racism coming from teachers to students. I hope at some point the ministry steps in and cleanses up this school.

Never in my years working have I experienced a low staff morale (in the last 2 years )as at St. Anne’s. Staff are mentally and physically exhausted with little to no support from admin. There are far too many students in the school with no clear boundaries or consequences for misbehaviour. Which in turn puts staff in dangerous situations. Staff are beat up(one sent to hospital) because a dangerous situation was not made awareness to staff, slapped, hit, kicked, spit on, verbally abused…etc. Staff really do their best to provide each other with support when needed but there is a lot of segregation in the building, there’s no “team” playing. I truly think this is from admin not listening to the needs of staff. Things are not dealt with properly and in turn, people are hurt. It really feels like an unsafe place to work. Sad to say.

One of the biggest issues with St. Anne’s is how poorly the staff are treated. There’s a clear lack of appreciation for the teachers and support staff who work tirelessly to keep things running. Morale is visibly low, and it’s no surprise—there’s little to no recognition for hard work, and constructive feedback is rarely given.

It often feels like the administration is more concerned with appearances than actually supporting their educators. Decisions are made without involving or even informing the staff, and when problems arise, the blame is quietly pushed onto them rather than addressed properly.

This lack of respect and value for staff directly affects the students. Teachers who feel unsupported can’t give their best, and you can see it in the classroom atmosphere. High turnover has also become a problem, which only adds to the instability.

St. Anne’s needs to seriously reevaluate how it treats the very people who form the backbone of the school. Until then, I can’t recommend it as a place for either students or staff to thrive.
