Generally, students will attend schools within their catchment area based on the parent's/guardian's residence. In some circumstances crossing of catchment areas may be permitted upon request.​

​Parents of students wishing to attend a school outside of their catchment area during the current school year are required to submit an on-line cross boundary application form. Also, if you have moved out of a school's catchment area since registering and wish to remain at your current school, a cross boundary form must be completed.

Early Cross Boundary Application Dates for 2025/26:  January 22, 2025 to March 13, 2025

Late Cross Boundary Application Dates for 2025/26:  Open August 25th - no decisions will be made on late cross boundary applications until after the first week of school in September.

Transportation for a student choosing and approved to attend a non-catchment school or program of choice is the responsibility of the parent.

For further help or information, please check with your catchment school, or contact the School Board Office at 250-248-4241.

NOTE: If you are applying to a Program of Choice (French Immersion, STREAM or the Primary Learning Community Program) you do NOT need to complete a Cross Boundary Application Form if your child is accepted to that Program of Choice.
