St. Paul’s High School is pleased to announce Mr. Mark Chipman '78 as the 2024 Ignatian Challenge Award recipient for this year’s 29th Annual Tribute Dinner on November 12, 2024.
“It is with great enthusiasm that I share with you that my friend and classmate from 1978, Mark Chipman, is the Ignatian Challenge Award recipient for 2024,” states Kevin Booth ’78, President of St. Paul’s High School. “As an alumnus, Mark Chipman ’78 exemplifies the Jesuit ideal of being ‘a man for others.’ His unwavering commitment to compassionate service and leadership in our community is inspiring. Mark’s service to others is a testament to the Ignatian principles of finding God in all things and striving for magis—the deep desire to do more for the Greater Glory of God (AMDG). Embodying the humility, generosity, and integrity that we all aspire to, Mark has been a model of Ignatian ingenuity and innovation. We are honoured to celebrate his remarkable contributions to our community and beyond.”

Dress Code III: Relaxed
9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Students may come to school to review their final exams and speak with their teachers and counsellors. While attendance is not required, students are encouraged to come to school to look over their exam results. Teacher locations will be posted in the school.
The deadline for submitting work to teachers to clear incompletes (INC) is noon on this day. Students have been made aware by their teachers of any incomplete coursework or outstanding hours to fulfill Ignatian Service hour requirements. In addition, parents of students with incomplete coursework were sent an email notifying them their son has incomplete coursework along with this letter with further details.
On Thursday, 20, students will be expected to return all textbooks they were assigned throughout the 2023–2024 school year. Each grade level has been assigned a time slot during which students in that grade will be required to return their textbooks to Murray Hall.
One additional time slot will be made available at the end of the day for families that have students in multiple grades.
Multi–Grade: 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Textbooks will not be accepted for return prior to June 20th. If you are unable to attend during your assigned time slot, please arrange for a friend to return your books for you.
Please start looking for any textbooks that are at home, in your car, etc. so that you have them all organized in advance of the day. Students have been sent a list of books (on Teams) that were assigned to each grade level to aide in the search.
Please note: If textbooks are not returned (or are returned in an unusable condition), the student will be charged the full replacement cost of the textbook. If textbooks are returned in a significantly poorer condition than when they were assigned, students will be asked to pay a charge commensurate to the amount of damage.
Dress Code II: Warm Weather Dress Code
All students in grades 9–11 are expected to be in attendance for the school's closing Mass and awards assembly.
Report Cards and 2024–2025 School Year Information
Students received report cards after the Closing Mass and Awards Assembly. Several enclosures will be provided, including an information letter about the 2024–2025 school year, a year calendar, bell schedules, required supplies, and dress code information.
Friday, 21 June is National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada. National Indigenous Peoples Day was first declared in 1996. For generations, many Indigenous peoples and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on or near this day due to the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year. As such, we would like to share a Cree phrase – ‘Eh kwasky Pannicky Key Si Cow ah’. This translates as “The days are in the process of turning.”
This is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Although these groups share many similarities, they each have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs.
While there are no classes scheduled on this day, we encourage all students and their families to reflect on how they may celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day.
