Visit Your Future Secondary School at Grade 7 & 8 Information Nights
Grade 7 and 8 students and families are invited to visit their future secondary schools and learn about HWDSB programs at upcoming Grade 7 & 8 Information Nights!
This important event series is a combination of school and system-based sessions. School sessions listed below take place at secondary schools, and will focus on programming and activities at your future school. Students and families can also attend information nights for specialty programs, which begin later in November.
Students and families were invited to learn about life in secondary school by attending the Getting Ready for High School Virtual Information Session on October 23. Viewers learned about what to expect in Grade 9, including information about course selection timelines, Ontario Secondary School Diploma requirements and more. Click here to watch a recording.
You can use the School Locator to determine your home secondary school and explore the chart below for details about your information night.
We look forward to seeing you! The first session takes place next week on Wednesday, November 6 at Waterdown District High School.
