Useful Links

Below are some useful links for all English students and their parents regardless of the grade or level in which they are enrolled. There will also be specific links for your course on the specific course page.

 

St. André Bessette Secondary School official website. Check here to keep informed about upcoming events and other useful information.

 

The London District Catholic School Board official website. Here you will find information about our entire district, information about board policies, links to bus delays and cancellations, and other useful information.

 

The Online Writing Lab (The OWL) at Purdue University. Simply the most detailed, easy to use, updated and overall best source I have found to help with formal essay writing. From the home page you can find guides for MLA and APA style formal writing, as well as help with grammar, sentence structure and subject specific writing. Alternatively, you may wish to go directly to The OWL's MLA page, which is the citation style used in the Ontario English Curriculum.
