The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board will hold a series of public information sessions for Grade 8 students and their parents or guardians interested in enrolling in a Board secondary school for the 2016-17 school year.
The session for people interested in St. Michael Catholic Secondary School in Bolton will be Nov. 5, starting at 6:45 p.m., and the session for Robert F. Hall Catholic Secondary School in Caledon East will be Nov. 26 at 6:30 p.m.
“Our secondary information sessions are intended to provide parents and guardians with an overview of the programs and services offered at Dufferin-Peel secondary schools,” said Joanna Boudreau, principal of secondary program and student success with the Board. “These sessions also provide Grade 8 students with an opportunity to tour the school and talk to current students about the transition into high school.”
Currently, Dufferin-Peel operates 26 Catholic secondary schools in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon. These schools continue to be recognized among the top performing schools in the province each year. With more than 49 specialist high skills major programs, three regional arts programs, one regional sports program, two international baccalaureate programs, two regional advanced placement programs, extended french and career path programs, and the only publically funded all-girls secondary school in the region, Dufferin-Peel Catholic schools offer students a variety of learning options to suit their individual education goals.
