The province has announced that the Pre-Primary Program will be offered at our school starting in September 2019. This is great news for our school community.

Pre-Primary is a play-based learning program that lays the foundation for future school success. The program is free for families, and is flexible to meet each family’s needs.

Children are eligible for Pre-Primary in 2019-2020 if they will be at least four years old by December 31, 2019 and they live within the school catchment area. Limited spaces may be available for out-of-catchment registrations. Parents/guardians must provide transportation for children enrolled in Pre-Primary.

Although families can register for Pre-Primary at any time during the school year, we encourage you to contact the school office as soon as possible if you wish to register your child for 2019-2020. Please drop in or call the school at 902-538-4720 to register.
