There is both a vocal and instrumental music program at St. Barnabas. In addition to weekly lessons, students have many performance opportunities. Both the school choir and grade 8 band have performed in the Toronto Catholic District School Board Festival of the Arts. Spring and Christmas concerts are an opportunity to highlight the talents of students, including singing, acting, dance and instrumental work. All students have an opportunity to develop their computer literacy skills at St. Barnabas.
Students visit a computer lab on a regular basis and there is a computer in each classroom.
We are currently reviewing our school computer plan with a view to updating both hardware and software. At St. Barnabas we believe that a safe and welcoming school environment is essential. We maintain that every member of the community has a responsibility to help to make sure that this environment is maintained. There is a safe arrival program in place to monitor student attendance. A student behaviour code was developed with input from parents, staff and students and is distributed during the fall term.
