St. Patrick's School is a Canadian independent, coeducational Roman Catholic elementary school located in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. As of September 2012, the school has about 185 students and 22 staff members. The school and its parish was established in 1956. ==History== In 1950, Father Steele began the task of building the school on five forested acres in the heart of Haney, now part of the larger district municipality of Maple Ridge. The school was opened in September 1956 with a co-educational enrollment of 128 students encompassing grades one to eight. The Sisters of St. Joseph of London, Ontario, were the first teachers. Sisters Winnifred, Appolonia and Wendelin aided Sister Eugene, the first principal. Initially, only five rooms on the lower floor were available for the students' use, as the upstairs consisted of Father's living quarters, a confessional and a large hall where Mass was said. The students took their gym out of doors year round. Much has changed at the school since its establishment. Kindergarten classes were introduced in 1970. To accommodate a growing enrollment, portable classrooms and the St. Patrick's Centre (gym) were later built. The last sister, Sister Sharon McNally, left in June 1985. The convent was changed into a school annex to include a larger library, a video room and two meeting rooms. Currently the new wing of the school is being built. The wing will have three classrooms (grades five through seven) and one music room along with a male and female bathrooms. The library and meeting room will be restored in the Father Varelle Center. 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「St. Patrick's School Maple Ridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
