Staff morale is at an all-time low, with many employees either on stress leave or having left entirely due to poor working conditions. There is little to no discipline, with students frequently running through the halls unchecked. Staff concerns are routinely dismissed by administration, leaving employees feeling unheard and undervalued. The lack of support has created a chaotic and unsatisfying workplace. Overall, this is not a place where staff feel respected or supported.

Principal is very micro managing. Feels like you're under a microscope constantly. Program Support is also this way. I Didn't enjoy working here as a supply staff.

My experience with the school, we have very supportive staff that work with students (EA team is fantastic and very supportive of each other)
Custodians and secretaries are very welcoming and extremely helpful when dealing with the school.
There is a lot of behaviours and the team tries to manage them the best they can, but there’s no discipline. I’ve seen way too many staff being injured by students they are supporting and lots of destruction of property from these students. Custodians work their behinds off and constantly try to clean the school as good as possible but with these behaviours and no consequences being given, sometimes school is in disrepair.

As a teacher at St. Anne, I am lucky to work with many exceptional educators including our administration. Our school population has grown exponentially over these last two years, and throughout these changes, our administration has welcomed families and supported staff with this growth. Our admin are always outside on supervision and visible in the halls and classrooms making it a point to know student’s names and greet each with a smile. Our administrators treat our students with respect and kindness, and promote an environment where educators are supported to do the same. In such a big school with so many staff and students it can be difficult to create community but I feel this is a priority for administration and they have done a great job.

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.

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.
