Dr F J Donevan Collegiate Institute was located in Oshawa, Ontario within the Durham District School Board. The school had students in grades 9-12 and offered a wide range of academic and extracurricular activities.

Sports

Donevan had a number of sports teams: The Senior Boys volleyball team managed a LOSSA championship this past season and moved on to OFSAA. Donevan's hockey team has also fared very well over the past few seasons, winning LOSSA last season.

Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) results

Donevan performed well on the 2008 OSSLT (Literacy Test), increasing overall results by 6% while the Board dropped 1% from the previous year. Overall, with Donevan's greater number of Applied and Essential-stream students, the whole school results show 78% of students successful (School Board average, 84%).

Results for Applied-stream students increased by 9% while those for Academic-stream students improved by 6% over the previous year.

Comparatively, Donevan outperformed the Board in the three major streams: Academic 96% (Board 95%), Applied 67% (Board 62%), Essential 35% (Board 28%). With the weighting of Donevan's greater number of Applied and Essential-stream students affecting the average, overall results are quite promising.

History

Donevan first opened in 1958 and had an addition added on in 1962 which gave it a bigger cafeteria, a bigger library, and more classrooms. On May 17th 2010 the school board review committee voted to close the school at the end of the 2009-2010 school year.
