Out-of-Catchment Application Reminder:

*** This process is not the same as school or kindergarten registration. ***

Applications can be submitted starting March 9 until May 15, 2026.  Parents wishing to have their child (or children) attend a school out of their home catchment area must complete the Out-of-Catchment application form at the school they are hoping to attend next school year. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis up to May 15, 2026. Parents & guardians should also register their students at their home school to ensure space, in the event that their Out-of-Catchment application is not approved.

*** Out-of-catchment applications may be limited at some schools this year due to enrolment considerations. ***

Please refer to district policy and regulations available at the following links:
301.1 – School Attendance Areas – Policy
