Past Boundary Reviews

Brooklin French Immersion Study

At the Regular Board Meeting held on January 27, 2020, the Durham Catholic District School Board of Trustees approved the commencement of a Brooklin French Immersion (FI) Study to review the St. Leo Catholic School and St. John Paul II Catholic School FI programs which currently serve students in the Brooklin community.

The study is intended to address projected enrolment decline and viability of the FI programs at each school. Through a series of public meetings, the study will examine existing programs and make recommendations by June 2020 to ensure long-term sustainability of FI programming in Brooklin.

The Durham Catholic District School Board is committed to an open and transparent process that allows for public input through a variety of means. Public meetings have been scheduled on the dates below to present the options under consideration and recommendations for the changes to the programs. Each evening is intended to offer our parents and guardians the opportunity to ask questions and provide input.

Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School and Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School

At the Regular Board Meeting held on September 23, 2019, the Durham Catholic District School Board of Trustees approved, in principle, boundary changes between Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School and Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School. This Boundary Review is being conducted in accordance with Board Policy PO415 School Boundary.

The boundary change has been initiated to align the recently changed boundaries between St. Christopher Catholic School and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School. The pupose of the boundary change is to direct all students  who live in the area south of King Street West, and west of Stevenson Road  to attend Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School.  The proposed changes will be phased in over time and the first students affected by the changes will attend Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School in September 2023. Until then, as per the elementary boundary change, students in the affected area will continue to attend Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School. Student transportation will be provided to each school in accordance with board policy.

The Durham Catholic District School Board is committed to an open and transparent boundary review process that allows for public input through a variety of means.
