We wish all students, parents and families a Happy Thanksgiving and offer the following reflection.
Thanksgiving Is
Thanksgiving is
a time of gratitude to God, our Creator and Provider,
whose guidance and care go before us...
and whose love is with us forever.
Thanksgiving is
a time to reflect on the changes,
to remember that we, too, grow and change
from one season of life to another.
Thanksgiving is
a time of changing seasons, when leaves turn golden
in Autumn's wake and apples are crisp
in the first chill breezes of fall.
Let us remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
As we see the beauty of Autumn,
let us acknowledge the many blessings which are ours...
let us think of our families and friends..
and let us give thanks in our hearts.

Repeating Courses/On-Line Courses/ Summer School to Increase Academic Average:
We encourage St. Paul's students to take all of their classes at the school. Online and summer school options may not adequately cover the curriculum with the same rigour as in-school options, thus leaving the student less prepared to continue in that subject area either at St. Paul's or at university. If a student hopes to increase his admission average by repeating a course at SPHS, taking a class on InformNet, or taking a class in summer school, be aware that it may not be admissible at some universities. Students should check carefully the admission rules. See below for a few examples where repeating courses or taking them outside of school would be problematic: University of Toronto
University of Waterloo
