    Secondary Schools
    Once registration opens, all out-of-catchment student registrations are to be placed on a waitlist that is prioritized according to Board Policy #9320 and Regulation #9320.1 (Section 4.A). Placement of waitlisted students will be determined based on school capacity.
    In-Catchment Waitlists:
    Where existing and/or projected enrolment exceeds the building capacity to the extent that not all in-catchment registration can be accommodated, student registrations are to be placed on an in-catchment waitlist that is prioritized according to Board Policy #9320 and Regulation #9320.1 (section 4.A). The Principal (or delegate) will work with the Assistant Superintendent and nearby schools to locate an available and suitable placement for in-catchment students who cannot be accommodated at their neighbourhood school.

    District Placements:
    Notwithstanding the above, the District may make individual student placements in consultation with schools on an as needed basis.

  • If your child is currently in grade 7 in an elementary school in our school district, they will be registered into their feeder secondary school automatically.

    If you would like to enquire about registering for a school that is not in your catchment, please contact the school directly to ensure the school can accommodate your request.
