The school's motto is Flourish Through Industry.

Bendale will merge with David and Mary Thomson Collegiate Institute in 2016, which it will be demolished.

History

Bendale Vocational School was built in 1962 and opened on September 3, 1963 as its first occupational school. The building was designed by the architects Craig, Madill, Abram and Ingleson.

The school's programs were expanded from two years to four, However, in 1965, the Scarborough Board of Education opened Tabor Park Vocational School and Bendale would later forged the model for special school delivery over the next 40 years with the openings of Sir Robert L. Borden Secondary School (1965) and Timothy Eaton Secondary School (1971). It then became Bendale Secondary School that same year.

In 1987, Bendale S.S. celebrated its 25th anniversary and the school was renamed to Bendale Business and Technical Institute.
