You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.231.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:15, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Bishop Macdonell Catholic High School''' is a [[Catholic school#Canada|Catholic]] [[High school#Canada|high school]] located in the south end of [[Guelph]], [[Ontario]], Canada. It is one of the four high schools in the [[Wellington Catholic District School Board]], all of which are located within the city limits of Guelph.

== History ==
Originally, this school was located in downtown Guelph at the intersection of Cork and Norfolk Street, next to the [[Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate]].

The school's roots date from when the [[Sisters of Loretto|Loretto Sisters]], also known as the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, arrived from Toronto and opened a school for girls in 1856 (housed in the convent, the last remaining structure that is standing as part of the original school). The enrolment quickly increased and in 1872, an addition was constructed. In 1883, it was decided that the younger grades would be moved to two other sites on the original property (St. Agnes school for girls - which is still standing and St. Stanislaus School for boys - which was rebuilt in 1977) and the convent school would continue to house the high school students. By 1926, enrolment was continuing to increase and the new Loretto Academy was built immediately next door the convent school. The all-girls school continued to be operated by the Loretto sisters.

In 1953, the co-educational Notre Dame High School was erected, and at this time, laywomen and men joined the Sisters as part of the teaching staff. This building provided facilities for grades 9 and 10 and was infamous for its gymnasium and its "caged gallery". On the other hand, Loretto Academy also became co-educational and housed students in grades 11, 12, and 13. In 1962, Loretto Academy and Notre Dame were renamed Bishop Macdonell Catholic High School, after Bishop [[Alexander Macdonell (bishop of Kingston)|Alexander Macdonell]] (1762–1840), a well-respected Catholic leader in his own time, and a few years later in 1966-1967, the two schools were officially joined by an addition.

In 1992, a report highlighting the needs of the Catholic community through a Board-School-Church committee, recommended the closure of the original high school and a recommendation of a school of the same name to be built in the future. Despite a long and hard-fought battle with support from many members of the community, the school was closed in June, 1995 and the three buildings, with the exception of the original 1856 convent building, were demolished in 2004.

In September 2004, the recommendation of the committee finally came forth as the existing school on Clair Road West opened, starting with grades 9 through 11.  Grade 12 has since been added, thereby enabling full granting status of the [[Ontario Secondary School Diploma]], continuing the tradition of the Loretto Sisters and Celtic Pride in Guelph.

On June 16, 2009, Grade 9 student Isabel Warren was tragically killed by a cinderblock wall collapsing on her in a washroom facility in Larry Pearson Park, which is located behind the school.<ref name="Guelph Mercury">((cite web |url=http://news.guelphmercury.com/News/article/496463 |title=Isabel Warren recalled as an athlete, painter and much more |publisher=[[Guelph Mercury]] |date=June 17, 2009 |accessdate=June 17, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100213002312/http://news.guelphmercury.com/News/article/496463 |archive-date=February 13, 2010 |url-status=dead ))</ref>
