学校简介

在1967年，Cathedral 和Sacred Heart开始有了一个合作项目，学校发现这样合作可以更加满足学生的需要，他们可以资源共享，共同使用教学设施和教授课程。这个合作开始于1967年并且每年都会有。两所学校的领导和省议员都是来自兄弟基督教友会和撒仁爱修会，最后他们决定满足所有学生的需要，为学生提供一个健康，具有现代性的教育环境。当学校完全的融合和学校重新命名为“Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory”的时候，学校的教育目标在1987年确立起来。学校的新名称反映了两所学校长久以来的合作关系，也反映了学校的教育重点是为学生坚持不断的学习做出努力。
