Religious Expectations
Thank you for choosing to send your son/daughter to Ascension of Our Lord Catholic
Secondary School.
The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (the “Board”) is committed to providing
quality Catholic education which views human life as an integration of body, mind and spirit.
Rooted in this vision, Catholic education fosters the search for knowledge as a lifelong
spiritual and academic quest. The expectations of Catholic school graduates, therefore, are
described not only in terms of knowledge and skills, but in terms of values, attitudes, and
actions. The Catholic School Graduate is therefore, expected to be; a discerning believer; an
effective communicator; a reflective, creative and holistic thinker; a self-directed,
responsible, lifelong learner; a collaborative contributor; a caring family member; and a
responsible citizen.
The Board supports freedom of religion and an individual’s rights to manifest his/her
religious beliefs and observances. The right to freedom of religion, however, is not absolute
and religious accommodation in the Board is carried out in the larger context of the Catholic
educational system and denominational rights of Catholic schools.
The Board recognizes that any form of social or cultural discrimination is incompatible with
Catholic moral principles and is in violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code. The Board
recognizes that the school system gives pre-eminence to the tenets of the Catholic faith,
congruent with the protection afforded in the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Constitution
Act, 1982 and confirmed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Board and its staff are committed to the elimination of discrimination as outlined in
Ontario’s Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy and the Ontario Ministry of Education
Policy/Program Memorandum No. 119, in a manner which is consistent with the exercise of
the Board’s denominational rights under section 93 of the Constitution Act, 1982 and as
recognized at section 19 of the Ontario Human Rights Code.
The historical mandate of the Catholic school system in Ontario is to model the entire
syllabus of the school on the life and teaching of Jesus. As such, the Dufferin-Peel Catholic
District School Board has expectations of all students admitted.
Our religious expectations are as follows:
1. All students will enrol in a Religion course in each of the four years. All Religion courses
are approved by the appropriate Catholic authority. The Government of Ontario
recognizes that Religion credits count towards a secondary school graduation diploma.
2. All students will participate in an annual retreat for the first four years that they are in a
secondary school. The retreat normally takes place during the school day at a site off
school property. The school chaplain organizes the annual retreat based on spiritual
themes appropriate for adolescents.
3. All students will participate in the prayer and in the liturgical life of the school. Catholic
students are expected to participate fully as mandated by their sacramental Baptism.
Non-Catholic students are expected to participate to the extent that they can. It is not
the intention of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic School Board to proselytize, however, for
supervision, safety and community reasons, the entire school participates in all religious
events that occur during the school year. At a minimum, non-Catholic students will
attend and maintain respectful silence at all religious observances. All students are
encouraged to get involved.
4. Students requesting accommodations must present written notice from their
parents/guardians specifying their accommodation needs relating to religious
observances, including holy days on which they will be absent from school. This notice
should be made in advance (preferably at the beginning of each school year) to ensure
that scheduling of major evaluations, such as tests, assignments or examinations, takes
the religious observances into consideration.
5. The Catholic District School Boards of Ontario follow approved provincial curriculum.
Given the distinctiveness of Catholic schools, the Government of Ontario recognizes
parallel curricula for our system based on Catholic course profiles. All courses in all
subject areas, in a Catholic secondary school, are taught from a Catholic perspective.
We hope that your experiences in our Catholic secondary schools will be rewarding.
Sincerely,
S. Gos
