At Father Donald MacLellan Catholic Secondary School, we are called to celebrate and nurture the God-given talents of each student as we serve with excellence in the light of Christ. We recognize our call to love and serve from our Master teacher Jesus Christ, and we are committed to creating a Catholic learning community under the protection of Mother Mary. We offer a wide range of programs and services to students in the Durham Region who, for various reasons, may experience challenges achieving success in a traditional school setting. Through smaller class sizes, opportunities for independent study, co-op placements, dual credits, as well as options for both part and full-time programs, we are able to tailor programs to meet the individual learning needs of our students.
South West Ajax includes Duffins Bay and Discovery Bay, which have the waterfront of Lake Ontario as their southern border. Key assets of this area are its proximity to the lakefront park and trail system and the Duffins Bay greenbelt area. The area is perfect for nature lovers, with its water features for canoeing and kayaking, many trails for walking, running, and cycling, and areas for watching birds and other wildlife along the marshes of the creek. The Central Employment area, in the northern part of this neighbourhood, is a well-established industrial area with critical mass of businesses and strong manufacturing base in the middle of Ajax.
