Board seeks capital funding for a new Catholic elementary school in Lower Stoney Creek An attendance area boundary review for the area of “Stoney Creek
below the escarpment” was presented to trustees on December 15th
which addressed overcrowding at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Elementary
School and explored the need for a new elementary school. The report indicated
that enrolment at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Elementary School
is expected to increase and the present site will be unable to accommodate
anticipated future growth. Trustees gave their approval for the board
to begin discussions with the Ministry of Education regarding the need
for capital funding for a new Catholic elementary school in Lower Stoney
Creek, as well as to conduct a boundary review of the schools within the
Lower Stoney Creek catchment areas. A report will be brought back to the
board for March 2, 2010. The new Ancaster Catholic elementary school is scheduled to open in the Ancaster community on Kitty Murray Lane, north of Garner Road. The catchment area for the new school is bordered on the east by the Highway #6 access, on the south by Highway #403 and Stonehenge Drive, on the west by the former Ancaster town limit, and on the north by Garner Road. Expected enrolment for the new school is approximately 250 students. A list of school names has been submitted to Bishop Tonnos for final approval. The name will be brought forward at a future board meeting. Board participates in Green Schools pilot initiative The Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board has teamed up with
