Blessed Cardinal Newman Catholic High School (also known as BCNCHS, Blessed Cardinal Newman CHS, BCNHS, Blessed CNHS, Blessed Cardinal Newman, or simply as Newman); formerly known under its original name Cardinal Newman Catholic High School is a Roman Catholic high school administered by the Toronto Catholic District School Board.〔(Report Card for Blessed Cardinal Newman Catholic High School - Fraser Institute )〕 The school was founded in 1973 when the St. Augustine's Seminary decided to make use of extra classroom space as a result of its own declining student enrollment. The school was named after John Henry Newman, a 19th-century English convert to Catholicism and prolific author who is currently in the process of beatification. Located on a magnificent 18 hectare campus, Cardinal Newman Catholic School overlooks a broad vista that contains both the Scarborough Bluffs and Lake Ontario. The motto for Cardinal Newman is ''Growing in Faith and Truth''. ==History== The facility was built in 1964 as the college for St. Augustine's Seminary due to St. Michael's College lacking a downtown campus for St. Augustine's. The college later closed and re-opened as Cardinal Newman on September 4, 1973. The eastern residential wing of the college was demolished and rebuilt in 1976 with a double gym, library, main office and classrooms. Portables were added over the years. From the beginning, Cardinal Newman was staffed by Catholic lay teachers who were teaching exclusively. Cardinal Newman is one of only two high schools in the Metropolitan Separate School Board (now today as the Toronto Catholic District School Board) to focus intently on an integration program for students with special needs. In addition, Cardinal Newman was in the forefront of programs like peer counseling, mediation, electronic keyboarding, and communications technology. Cardinal Newman was at one time the only non-uniformed Roman Catholic High School in Metro Toronto. This was changed beginning in the late 1980s and early 1990s so as to conform with other local Catholic High Schools. The school name was changed to Blessed Cardinal Newman in February 2011. Newman celebrated its 40th anniversary on May 10, 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blessed Cardinal Newman Catholic High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
