After a public consultation process, Trustees approved an option attendance area for Chapel Hill and St. Kateri Tekakwitha Schools at a Board meeting on January 28, 2025.

These approved changes to attendance boundaries for the schools will be effective for September 2025. 

A brief summary of the recommendations which were approved, are as follows:

• Creation of an Option Area that would permit elementary students residing within that portion of the St. Kateri Tekakwitha attendance boundary located south of Innes Road to attend either St. Kateri Tekakwitha or Chapel Hill School.

• This Option Area would be effective beginning in September 2025.

• Should a part of the Option Area be redirected to the New Mer Bleue Catholic Elementary School, determined through a future consultation, the remaining portion would continue as an Option Area.

• Existing students at St. Kateri Tekakwitha living within the Option may remain at the school, however the option to attend Chapel Hill is available for those families that choose to do so.

• St. Matthew High School will remain the designated secondary school for students attending both Chapel Hill ES and St. Kateri Tekakwitha ES.

•
