Turning the ship
All schools have problems however LHC is generally a very caring community. The school has had its ups and downs, however the new principal is working hard to improve standards and work to change the culture.

Poor leadership, bullying staff & students
I have had 3 daughters go through Lourdes Hill (one currently there). Unfortunately, the leadership and ethos has deteriorated significantly in the last few years. They are not affiliated with BCE so no accountability - therein lies the problem. Poor leadership, pedagogy, curriculum and no behaviour management (unless screaming or personal insults). Teachers yelling at students, banging aggressively on blackboards, one yelled in my daughter's face, personal insults at students in front of the class to humiliate etc. The students learn the bullying of the teachers. The current principal has no idea, elitist & came from MBGC. Lots of bullying at the school that is not addressed. No differentiation of subjects, no support. However, it has a lovely view and puts on nice mother's day luncheons.
pathetic
All I have to say is - RIP Ella
My experience
Middle school is hard, with pretty average to below average teachers. Some want you to succeed others simply do not care. High school teachers however, are fantastic. They are teachers who understand the work and want you to understand it.

Pretty good school. New principal is really good.
I’m a student I like it. It is definitely better worth the new principle. Most of the girls are lovely. The teachers are caring a lot more with the new principal.
