Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute  (Gr 09 - 12)

 

LPCI features a positive school climate founded in a strong school spirit fostering an enduring tradition of academic excellence and achievement. LPCI has an exceptionally high level of student involvement and commitment with an emphasis on encouraging social engagement. Of particular interest are two special programs:

a)  Elite Athlete program for athletes at the provincial or national levels;

b)  French Immersion and Extended French programs.

 

We are very proud of our students and their achievements while recognizing that there is always room for growth and improvement.  Our goal is to improve on last year's achievements.  Over 50% of our graduates are Ontario Scholars and historically 90% of our grade 9 students have graduated from Lawrence Park.  In addition, 20% of our graduating students were offered university scholarships last year and 97% of our grade 10 students were successful on the Province-wide Literacy Test in March 2012.

 

Lawrence Park fosters the development of leadership skills with our students through the activities of various councils: Buddies, Music, Drama, Visual Art, Classics, Student Council, Lawrence Park Athletic Council (LPAC), Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving and Empowered Student Partnership.

 

The first edition of Masquerade was published in June 2009.  This Arts magazine recognizes our students' achievements in the Arts:  Visual Arts, Music, Dramatic Arts, Writer's Craft, French And English Poetry and Careers at LPCI.  We are very proud that our students permanently leave their mark and brilliantly demonstrate their talents in the Masquerade.

 

LPCI offers diverse programs that include visual & dramatic arts. Our students enjoy workshops, festivals and a live production/play.  Our extensive music program includes orchestra, band, choir, strings and vocal.  Students enjoy camp and excursions.  LPCI features several athletic teams including ice hockey, baseball, basketball, golf and many more.

 

To encourage team spirit, Lawrence Park also hosts several clubs and participates in many competitions.  Some of our clubs include the: Art Club/Council, Cooking Club, DECA, ECO Club, French Film Club, Jewish Student Union, LPCI Muslim Society, Me to We, Photography Club, Queer Straight Alliance and the Yearbook Club.
