Elementary admissions are open to Catholic children and children of Catholic parents. (NOTE: If you are non-Catholic but wish to explore a Catholic education for your child(ren) please review the Admissions to Catholic Elementary School Policy).
Baptismal Certificate
A Catholic Baptismal Certificate is a requirement for all students entering the WCDSB.
A copy of the student’s/parent’s/guardian’s baptismal certificate used to register will be placed in the student’s Ontario Student Record.
Direction of School Support
All property owners and tenants are initially Public School supporters by default. To support a separate school board, the property owner or tenant must be Roman Catholic. Roman Catholics must declare themselves Separate School supporters by completing a “Application for Direction of School Support ” form for their child(ren) to attend a school within the WCDSB.
Catholic School Lease Agreement
A “Catholic School Support Lease” allows people who jointly own or rent a property to designate school support to the Separate School Board when one of the owners or tenants is non-Roman Catholic.
The Separate School Lease Agreement may be required at the time of registration.
