As of September 2012, the school has about 185 students and 22 staff members. The school and its parish was established in 1956. HistoryIn 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.{{clarify|date=January 2011|reason=later prose introduces kindergarten. when did school drop 8th grade? infobox indicate "k-7".}} The Sisters of St. Joseph{{Clarify|date=January 2011|reason=there are various orders with "sisters of st. joseph". is this the right one?}} 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. A new wing of the school was completed in 2010. The wing has three classrooms and one music room along with separate male and female bathrooms. Religious lifeChristian-education philosophyThe Christian-education program is designed to foster growth in the student's faith, in the knowledge of their faith, and in the understanding of themselves as Christian people. Prayer is said in the morning as well as at lunch time. Religious-education classesParticipation in the religious-education classes is an integral and vital part of the education and formation of each student in the school. It helps lead them to study and learn the history and content of the Catholic faith. The objective remains to create in them a deep and lifelong love for the Church, its sacraments and prayer life. The religious-education classes take place during the school hours. MassesThe importance of the Mass is recognized at the school both as a way of increasing the faith of the individual and helping in the building of Christian community. On the first Friday of each month, there is a school Mass in the church. There is an additional Mass for only the primary and intermediate grades once a month.{{Clarify|date=January 2011|reason=if school is only k-7, who is left out in this "additional mass"?}} AdministrationRev. Father Richard Au STL was the school's pastor from summer 2005 to 2012. He was followed by Rev. Fr Mathew To, the current pastor. Clive Heah is the principal and the school board is the Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese (CISVA). ReferencesExternal links
