St. Brother André Catholic High School is a secondary school in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Grades 9 to 12 are taught, with religious studies included in the curriculum. It is named after Saint André Bessette (also known as Brother André), a 20th-century Catholic Brother in Montreal responsible for the construction of the Saint Joseph's Oratory. Brother André is located in east-central Markham, and its feeder schools include:
There are two (2) major buildings in the school: the main building, and the relocatable building, colloquially referred to simply as 'relo'. The main building and the relocatable building are permanent, separated by teacher and student parking lots.
St. Brother André CHS is composed of six student government councils each with a president and two vice presidents. The president and the vice presidents of each student council create the student government body. The student government body meets once a month to discuss council-run events and plan for upcoming school events.
The six student government councils are as follows:
Faith Development Council
The Faith Development Council, also known as FDC, is a student-run council in St. Brother Andre CHS at the service of God and the Catholic Church. Formally established in the 2014-2015 school year, FDC has student evangelization and outreach at its heart. Unlike the other school councils, FDC has an open membership policy.
Faith Development Council employs the Chosen Faith Formation program to form its members in the Catholic faith. The council also helps facilitate liturgical events, such as school Masses and Reconciliation, host guest speakers, such as Thomas Cardinal Collins in both 2013 and 2016, and organize fundraisers for faith and pro-life causes.
Arts Council
Arts Council is a student council composed of student’s with a passion for arts. These students meet every week to help plan school wide events giving students in the community the opportunity to display and express their talents.
Arts Council’s annual events include Pumpkin Carving, Art Attack and Arts Night. These events give students the opportunity to participate in artistic events to express themselves as well as view the talent of other students in the school community.
