History

Campus facilities

Academic facilities

  • The Pavillon Sainte-Anne (main pavilion) is the eldest of the five buildings on the campus, built of stones extracted from the nearby Lachine Canal as early as 1861. The building is in the shape of the letter E and is divided in three sections. The building is famous for its architectural features such as the large dome which can be seen from miles away. The central wing is a library with many technological features such as iPads and eBooks. The rest of the building is divided on either side of the chapel. On the west side of the chapel lies the Convent which is currently housing the Collégial Sainte-Anne, for students continuing their post-secondary studies at the school. The east side of the chapel is part of the secondary school and is used by students from secondary II to IV, each level on their own floor. However, the fifth floor is open to all students and is divided into a large science and technology laboratory for students in the SciMaTic science program, two art rooms and two other smaller science labs. The building's main features are: the principal and administration offices, two conference rooms and a small auditorium, four science labs, a small cafeteria (the Réfectoire), the agora, the study hall, the BiblioTEC and the art rooms. This building is linked to the sports complex by an underground tunnel which crosses Lachine's 12th Avenue.
  • The Pavilion Marie-Esther (PME), founded in 1988, is home to the secondary I students. It is named after Mother Marie-Esther Blondin, the foundress of the Sisters and former headmistress of the school. This building's main features are: a 500-seat auditorium (Salle Jeanine-Serres) along with one of the school's two music rooms with individual cubicles, a cafeteria and a science lab. The third floor of the Pavilion is linked to the fourth floor of the sports complex by an interior walkway.

Athletic facilities

  • The Sports Complex is the centerpiece of the school's five buildings. Located between the 11th and 12th avenues and adjacent to the PME, it rises on four floors. The three bottom floors are occupied by the school's sports facilities, however the fourth floor (Pavillon Roger-Gauvin) is exclusive to the secondary V students and carries the name of the former headmaster of the school. This building's main features are:
  • On the lower level; a semi-Olympic swimming pool with 1-meter and 3-meters diving boards along with a gymnasium, a music room, a dance hall and a student lounge (the Bistro).
  • On the second floor; another dance hall and a gymnastics palestra with two Olympic trampolines, parallel and asymmetric bars, a tumble track, rode floor, vault, pommel horse and balance beams.
  • On the third floor; a third dance hall, a double gymnasium with rock climbing wall, a gym with cardio machines and weight training, the student cafeteria with a panoramic view on the Lachine Canal and the St-Lawrence River.
  • The fourth and smallest building is the former school library. As of 2011, it was transformed into a larger cardio gym since the library was replaced by the larger BiblioTEC. It is currently used by DoMore Training.
  • The fifth building is a small historic house that was a residence of the Sisters. During 2014, it was completely transformed into the school's Maison des Arts, which is used as an art classroom. It is also known as Maison Jaune.
  • Inaugurated in 2017, the synthetic field in Dorval offer students with the possibility to play football, soccer, and more.
