Mother Teresa Catholic Secondary School - Background

Background

MTS currently enrolls about 1200-1400 students including French Immersion. In 2000 the main building had several unused classrooms, but by 2008 the school had 13 portables. In 2009, three more were added and at the start of the 2009/2010 school year the school has a total of 20 portables (regarded as the third highest in the province behind St. Thomas Aquanis's 21 in 2000). Plans for a new catholic secondary school in the north west corner of London are already in place to take the stress off MTS.

The building program includes general classrooms and rooms for family studies, computer science, foods and nutrition, marketing, construction and technology labs, art studios, T.V. Studio, seminar rooms, 2 gymnasiums, lecture hall, offices, support spaces, and a chapel. The edifice includes a fiber optic infrastructure, multimedia communication lab and a resource centre. It also has a construction and transportation technology facilities, and 50'x35' stage, equip with 50' catwalk and over 75 professional grade stage lights.

Every classroom, including all portables, contain TVs, and all TVs within the main building have cable.

Famous quotes containing the word background:

    ... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
