At its January 27th Board Meeting, the Board of Education approved two elementary school catchment adjustments and deferred consideration of a proposed secondary school change.
The approved elementary adjustments respond to current enrollment pressures at Springwood Elementary and will take effect beginning in the 2026–2027 school year. The proposed secondary adjustment decision was deferred to a future year to allow for additional reflection, and possible consideration by the next Board of Education.
A letter to parents/caregivers at Springwood, Nanoose Bay, École Oceanside and École Ballenas can be found HERE
