Durham Catholic District School Board

Did not do a thorough investigation when my daughter's finger was slammed in a steel bathroom door. We never found out how it really happened.

this school system is terrible. for the past 4 years of me going here I felt like I was being stripped of my culture. I felt like they wanted to me sensor my culture and water down my history to please everyone around me. This school has me oppressed everyday with the lack of representation and the fact that when we do represent our culture our peers laugh and take us for a joke. they have even mocked us before. At our school if we talk out we are wrong and seen a a threat rather than people. I do not see my peers that are not of colour having to deal with the same issue. I have been told before to get over it and overall I do not feel heard by my school whether it's the teachers, students, or admin. We even had an issue where there was racism going on and we were basically silenced and they basically cut us off and said that the presentation was over and basically we could no longer discuss anything and it felt like they silenced us not to mention that the presenter was not a person of minority nor would they be able to relate to any of to problems that we face on a daily basis. Honestly if you are a person of minority I do not suggest that you attend any type of catholic school in Whitby especially All Saints Catholic Secondary School.

Normally the buses run within a 5 min window, reflected on the DRT app. Today, my schedule was completely thrown off by horrible delays for connecting buses. The app did not reflect that there were delays and when I complained, someone called me and tried to tell me alternate routes. I don't want alternate routes, I want an app that updates in real time to reflect what the situation is. Horrible customer service and a complete communication failure.

Teachers will dictate what is in a child’s lunch box and will throw out anything they deem “unhealthy”

I called in to inquire an issue with my high school transcript and the woman that helped me on the phone went above and beyond on getting my issue resolved. I am very pleased with the service i received through this office and if i need any guidance in the future, this is the office i will go through. Amazing!

I remember going to a teacher in this school system and tell her of the abuse I suffered at home and she looked at me like I had 10 heads. I'll never forget having the courage to finally reach out for help and recieving that. Thanks Mrs. Sherry Thomas.

Excellent
