Registering a new student 

Confirm your child’s designated catchment school using Find A School App. Enter your home address to see your designated catchment schools for Early, Middle or Senior years, as well as schools your child can attend for division-wide programming, such as vocational and language programs.

Registering at a designated catchment school

New students must complete the New Student registration form. For accommodation purposes, families can register in person at their catchment school's office. Make an appointment with the school office to complete the registration in person. Bring all the required documents for registration. 

Applying for Schools of Choice
