The area is under boundary review, with a final decision expected by January 7, 2025. If
Option 6a is approved, the redirection will conclude on June 30, 2025.
It is proposed students attending Boyne PS and in grades K-6 (2024 school year) but reside in the Viola Desmond PS catchment will return to their community school, Viola Desmond PS starting September 2025.
Effective Sept. 2, 2022, students registering in the English program at Viola Desmond PS will be redirected to alternate nearby schools until further notice. This results from the school reaching maximum capacity as the new boundaries created from the Rattlesnake Point PS and Cedar Ridge PS school boundary reviews are implemented. Students will return to their neighbourhood schools, once enrolment in the community stabilizes.
Who Will be Impacted?
New student registrants in the English program at Viola Desmond PS will be redirected to nearby schools based on where they live.
- Students residing in the area south of Whitlock Ave, west of Regional Road 25, north of Britannia Road, and east of the CNR Tracks (Viola Desmond PS catchment) will attend Boyne PS (Zones D & E).
- Students residing in the area south of the P.L. Robertson PS catchment, west of the CNR tracks, north of Louis St. Laurent Blvd, and both sides of Tremaine Rd (Viola Desmond PS catchment) in Grade 4-8 will attend P.L. Robertson PS (Zone A)
- Zone A is currently transitioning to P.L. Robertson PS from Viola Desmond PS. As a result, students in Kindergarten to Grade 2 and Grade 3 are attending P.L. Robertson PS in the 2023-2024 school year.
