VSB Open House for School Catchment Consultations

VSB staff will be hosting OPEN HOUSES to consult with school communities regarding School Attendance Patterns and their impact on school catchments.

OPEN HOUSES are scheduled for:

Monday, April 14, between 7:00-8:30 pm at Nelson Elementary School 
Tuesday, April 22, between 3:30-5:00 pm at Secord Elementary School

School Consultations regarding Enrollment patterns and Catchment alignment

The Vancouver Board of Education would like input from school communities as they review catchment areas for schools located in the North East** sector of Vancouver.

One recommendation of the VSB Sectorial Review (2012) is to align school boundaries with the enrollment choices that families are already making. This review examines where students attend school relative to where they reside. After looking at these patterns and receiving input from the school communities, adjustments to school catchments may be made to reflect the enrollment patterns that already exist. Any changes that may occur would not affect families already enrolled. These families would remain at their chosen school.

**School catchments that may be impacted include:

Elementary: Begbie, Britannia, Garibaldi, Grandview, Hastings, Lord, MacDonald, Nelson, Secord, Queen Victoria

Secondary: Britannia and Templeton
