Purpose of the information session:
To seek input and ideas from the community, and to help in developing an attendance
boundary for the new Block 18 (Peter Rupert and Golden Forest) school.
Information Package:
The following package outlines proposed boundary options for the new Block 18 (Peter
Rupert and Golden Forest) school, scheduled to open in September 2010.
The package includes maps, tables, and graphs outlining 4 proposed options and their
impact on Our Lady of Peace and Our Lady of the Rosary.
Information Session Format:
The meeting will take the form of a “drop-in” format. There will not be a formal
presentation; rather there will be graphical displays and text boards showcasing the
information that is found in the package. All display boards are identical. Board staff will
be on hand to listen to your comments and feedback, and to answer any questions you
may have.
Student Transportation Services will also be on hand to answer any questions related to
non-transportation zones and busing.
How to get involved:
Read over the information package and review the options presented. We encourage
you to fill out a feedback form, which is found at the end of this package. The Local
Boundary Review Committee will consider all comments and suggestions.
Process:
The Local Boundary Review Committee will review and consider all information
gathered throughout the boundary process and will put forth a recommended option in a
report to the Board of Trustees. Staff is targeting the June 16th Regular Board Meeting,
however this could be postponed depending on the information received throughout the
process.

Block 18 (Peter Rupert and Golden Forest) Boundary Study
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
When will the new school open?
The new school within the Block 18 subdivision is scheduled to open in September 2010.
What will the capacity of the new school be?
The capacity of the new school is estimated to be between 660 and 740 pupil places.
Who is the principal of the new school?
The principal of the new school will be appointed in the Winter / Spring of 2010.
What is the name of the new School?
The school name has not yet been determined. The Board will appoint a school naming committee consisting
of all area Trustees, the school Principal, parish Pastor and any additional members that the Board may
choose to appoint. The committee will seek input from the community in a manner that the committee
considers appropriate (Board Policy 509).
Will there be a before and after school program?
Once the boundary has been established, a consultation process will take place to determine the feasibility of
arranging before and after care at the new school.
What about the grand-parenting of existing students?
All students residing in the approved elementary school boundary, excluding those involved in special
programming, are expected to attend the new Block 18 school. Any students residing within the boundary for
the new school who wish to remain at their current school must do so via the TCH 19 form, which may only be
approved in accordance with policy 602A (a description of this policy can be found on the Board’s website).
There are no grand-parenting provisions considered in any of the preliminary boundary options.

Can my child attend a school outside of their school attendance area?
Students wishing to attend a school, yet residing outside the school attendance area may apply, via a TCH 19
form, to the principal of the school they wish to attend. However, as stated within the Board’s policy 602A
(section 7):
b)
In the case of redefining boundaries for purpose of effecting a more equitable distribution of enrolment
between schools in a municipality; or in the case of newly created boundaries, established to define the
attendance area for a new school; pupils residing within said redefined or newly created boundaries, shall
attend the school designated within the defined attendance area. Exceptions may be considered by the
appropriate Superintendent, only for unique or compelling circumstances. Parents will be responsible for
transportation.
Accommodation for pupils within the defined attendance area of a school must be given first priority.
Therefore a school experiencing overcrowding or anticipating significant growth must be very restrictive in the
number of students permitted from outside the attendance area.
Will my child qualify for busing?
As a general guideline, students in kindergarten and in Grades 1 through 3 qualify for busing if they reside
further than 1.2 km from the new school. Students in Grades 4 through 8 will qualify if they live further than
1.6 km from the new school. The Official Non - Transportation Zones will be identified at a later date in
accordance with criteria, as outlined in the Student Transportation Services Procedures manual.
