French Immersion is a proven way of acquiring excellent language skills in French. The French Immersion program at HWDSB is specifically designed for parents who do not speak French, but want their children to speak both official languages. The program is open to HWDSB students starting in Grade 1.

Families of Senior Kindergarten students considering the French Immersion program were invited to a virtual information session ahead of the 2023-24 application process. The event was recorded and is being shared here. Applications open November 28.

Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board’s new Director of Education is Sheryl Robinson Petrazzini! The HWDSB community is invited to step inside the Director’s Corner to get to know the new leader.

In June 2022, prior to Robinson Petrazzini joining HWDSB, we visited Hess Street Elementary School and Sir Allan MacNab Secondary School, where students asked over fifty questions for the incoming Director. They were given the prompt, “What question do you have for the future of Director of Education?” and came up with some fantastic soundbites. The inspiration comes from the popular 1990s show ‘Speaker’s Corner,’ where people on the streets of Toronto were able to share their burning thoughts in the iconic booth.

At a recent meeting, Robinson Petrazzini was shown the student questions for the first time. Her responses were recorded for the community, and we hope you enjoy getting to know HWDSB’s new Director of Education after some time in the Director’s Corner.
