Discover our School
Our school respectfully acknowledges that we are located on the ancestral, traditional and unceded Indigenous territory of the Algonquin Peoples,
on whose territory we pray, learn, play and work.
The OCSB acknowledges the suffering experienced by Indigenous peoples in Canada's Residential Schools and is committed to Truth and Reconciliation. Read the OCSB Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action to learn more.

Spirituality
St. Peter Catholic High School is privileged to have its own Chapel. The chapel is a very special room in the school used for personal prayer, quiet time, youth ministry meetings, class liturgical celebrations and other faith related activities.
It is located off the main atrium across from the main office and is open to students throughout the day.
Staff wanting to book the chapel for their classes can do so by contacting the chaplain.
Please see Sacred Space: Chapel Use Protocol for more details.
Spiritual Theme
The OCSB's spiritual theme for 2024-2027 is: We are called to open doors, build bridges, and nourish new beginnings. It is rooted in Revelation 3:20, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock…”
In each of the next three school years, our school will focus on a different aspect of the Spiritual Theme: Opening doors, Building bridges, and Nourishing new beginnings.
