Notre Dame Regional Secondary is a co-ed Catholic Secondary school, under the administration of Catholic Independent Schools Vancouver Archdiocese (CISVA) school board inn Canada.[2] The school participates in sporting events under the name of the "Jugglers", with the team colours of blue, white and silver.

History[edit]

Notre Dame's old entrance

In the 1950s, under the invitation of Archbishop William Mark Duke, the Sisters of Charity of Halifax accepted the challenge to help finance a high school for the education of Catholic children in East Vancouver and Burnaby, and in 1953 Notre Dame Regional Secondary opened its doors for the first time.[3]

In 1985, the young Irish priest Fr. Joe Cuddy, was appointed as the Archbishop's Representative for the school. Realizing the need for an improved facility, he created a three-phase plan for the rebuilding of the school. The final phase of the development concludes in the mid-2010s, and at the start of the 2014-2015 school year the renovated school was made fully accessible for use by students and staff.[4]

On May 6, 2010, the doors opened for the new building. The structure has state of the art geothermal heating, photocell activated lighting and washrooms systems, Wi-Fi wireless connections, and SMART Board interactive whiteboards.[citation needed]

Independent school status[edit]

Notre Dame Regional Secondary is classified as a Group 1 school under British Columbia's Independent School Act. It receives 50% funding from the Ministry of Education. The school receives no funding for capital costs.[5] It is under charge of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver.

Notre Dame's Education Committee is made up of two elected representatives from each of the feeder parishes, and three pastors elected by the pastors of these parishes. One pastor is elected as Archbishop's Representative for the school.[6]
