Student Activity Fee – Ensuring our Robust Student Life Continues!

Hello Parents and Guardians!

A friendly reminder that payment of the St. Mary’s Student Activity fee ($50) is now available on SCO. If you have already paid, we thank you very much!

The $50, which has remained unchanged for many years, goes directly to supporting student life at the school, ensuring that the true costs of sports teams, clubs and the countless events are manageable. The Student Activity fee also covers costs for students who are not in a position to cover all or some of their fees.

Update: St. Mary’s HS Reopening Confirmed – Tues., May 20th

WCDSB & Region of Waterloo Public Health are pleased to confirm that St. Mary’s High School will reopen for in-person learning on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.

Following the school’s temporary closure due to a confirmed case of measles, Region of Waterloo Public Health has worked closely with WCDSB staff to complete a thorough review of immunization records. This process required significant time, care and coordination, including dedicated efforts over the weekend.

We sincerely thank the staff at St. Mary’s and our partners at Region of Waterloo Public Health for their responsiveness and commitment to student and community safety.
