Welcome to Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate Institute 

(GR. 09-12)

Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate, founded in 1969, was built on a solid foundation of academic achievement, community involvement, alumni support and excellence. Students are provided with a wide range of learning experiences, both academic and co-curricular, so that they are prepared for any post-secondary option they may choose.

Excellence in teaching is the cornerstone of Mowat. Teachers are caring professionals who are committed to creating an atmosphere in which students can develop a positive self-image, become independent learners, acquire skills for future employment, enjoy the pursuit of academic excellence, participate in extra-curricular activities, and demonstrate respect for themselves and others.

Tamil Heritage Month

Tamil Heritage Month is proudly recognized during the month of January at the Toronto District School Board since January 2016. This year our theme for Tamil Heritage Month is:  Community. Belonging. Joy - சமூகம்சார்ந்தசந்தோசம்.   

This year’s Tamil Heritage Month theme is intentionally aligned with one of the TDSB’s priorities - Joy, Engagement and Belonging.  

Toronto has the largest Tamil population outside of the South Asian subcontinent with thousands of TDSB students and staff members who identify as Tamil. The importance of building awareness, creating a strong self and collective identities, and understanding one's own roots and rights are important objectives of the Tamil Heritage Month volunteer planning committee.

To mark Tamil Heritage Month at the Toronto District School Board in January, various educational opportunities will be offered to students to learn about the history, culture, and traditions. We also look forward to having a bake sale at Mowat that celebrates food from the Tamil Culture….stay tuned for the date!

To all celebrating the harvest festival of Thai Pongal from the 15-18, 'thai pirandhal vazhi pirakkum'.
