East Hamilton/Lower Stoney Creek Boundary Review – November 19 Public Meeting
Dear Families,
As shared in June 2024, Collegiate Elementary School’s boundaries will soon be reviewed in accordance with the 2024-25 Accommodation Strategy Schedule. This review will consider Collegiate’s boundaries in association with boundaries at Eastdale, Lake Avenue, South Meadow and Winona elementary schools.
A boundary review is a public review process to create or modify the boundary of one or more schools. A boundary may require modification due to new school construction, balancing enrolments and/or program changes. Due to accommodation pressures at Eastdale resulting from continued growth in English and French programs, this boundary review aims to better balance enrolments at local schools.
For more information about the East Hamilton/Lower Stoney Creek Boundary Review, families can read the June 11 message on the Collegiate website or visit the Boundary Reviews page on the HWDSB website.
Public Meeting – November 19, 2024
On Tuesday, November 19, the Collegiate school community is invited to attend the first public meeting for the East Hamilton/Lower Stoney Creek Boundary Review. The event takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Orchard Park Secondary School Cafeteria.
At the public meeting, HWDSB staff will provide an overview of the proposed boundary change, answer questions and gather input from community members. If you require interpretation or child-minding services to participate in the public meeting, please reach out to your school’s principal.
For your awareness, an advisory panel with staff and parent representatives from all school communities will meet on October 30 and November 5. The advisory panel will review the potential East Hamilton/Lower Stoney Creek Boundary Review strategy and provide feedback to HWDSB staff prior to the public meeting.
Students, staff, families and community members can continue to ask questions and provide feedback through Engage HWDSB. Explore the East Hamilton/Lower Stoney Creek Boundary Review project on the Engage platform to share thoughts and ideas that will help guide the consultation process.
If you have questions about this message, please contact the Collegiate school office.
Thank you,
