its safe and a safe place for all individuals lbgtq2sa etc and the accessibility of the school area is I guess somewhat moderate we could use a few more wheelchair access area and then we could use an easier wheelchair access route we do have ramps but they're kind of hard to access because it is very bumpy and I believe there is a curb you really cannot find the front entrance reduce the weird Square shape of the school but it's all right

This school used to be fantastic! The moral was high, the kids were happy and the support was there. Now St.Pat’s is so low on moral, it is a chore not a pleasure to go to work. I have worked in many schools in this board and I have to say this school has gone so far down the tubes I don’t know if it can ever come back to what it used to be. The administrative staff are harsh and unsupportive, making it difficult to find support when there is a problem. The lack of support in the classrooms for children with special needs is ongoing and only getting worse. It feels very alone and segregated as a staff, with a staff turnover rate that demonstrates the lack of passion teachers have when working there. I think if the administration was moved around and new people were to come into these roles, maybe the staff moral would begin to turn around.

This school has gone downhill over the last 3–4 years. Many staff, including myself, left last year due to poor working conditions and a complete lack of support from administration. Especially hard-hit are the educational assistants, who are doing their best while being constantly understaffed and overwhelmed. Safety is a major concern — students often run through the halls unsupervised, and violent or disruptive behaviour is rarely addressed with little to no consequences. Staff are regularly exposed to violence and classrooms are frequently evacuated. There’s nowhere near enough support for students with special needs. If you think your child is getting a quality education, think again. They’re being exposed to chaos, violence, and a culture of disrespect. It’s time to ask what’s really going on.

Extreme safety issues, lack of support, Admin not supportive/lack lustre. Amazing staff, the E.A’s are top tier.

Excellent 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.

On a daily basis staff are subjected to verbal and physical abuse from the students. This means special needs students and non special needs students. If your child attends this school they have seen staff get hit, be cursed at and be treated with utrer disrespect.The staff feel stressed and like there is nothing they can do about it. We do not feel supported by administration or the board. The board needs to provide more support staff. The current support staff are being asked to watch multiple special needs students at a time or are being pulled to deal with an emergency situation in another area of the school. This is putting the staff and students in unsafe positions.
