Enrolment & Admissions
Catholic baptism: Catholic schools give enrolment priority to families who are Catholic. Proof of Catholic baptism (for the student or a parent) is typically required. Non-Catholic families may still apply but are admitted on a space-available basis after Catholic applicants.
Boundary maps: Each school has a defined catchment area. Use the HWCDSB School Locator to confirm which elementary or secondary school serves your address.
Registration: Registration typically opens in the spring for the following September. Contact the school directly or visit hwcdsb.ca for current timelines and required documents.
Out-of-catchment requests: Families can request out-of-catchment placement, but it is granted on a space-available basis and is not guaranteed.
