School Zone

All students who live within the home zone shall be entitled to enrol at the school.

Principal Sean Valvoi and a parent are standing with children on a street with bicycles, including an adult in a bright vest and two children wearing helmets. Trees and cars are visible in the background.

All students who live within the home zone described below (and shown on the map below) shall be entitled to enrol at the school.

Proof of residence within the home zone will be required.

Each year, applications for enrolment in the following year from in-zone students will be sought by a date which will be published in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. This will enable the board to assess the number of places which can be made available to students who live outside the zone.
