High school information nights are scheduled by the Halton District School Board during the month of November to provide an opportunity for students, parents and guardians to learn about Grade 9 programs, services for students and diploma requirements.

Each high school in will host an information evening. Families should attend the information night at the school designated for their community.

Aldershot High School

Thursday, November 23 @ 6:30 p.m.

Burlington Central High School

Thursday, November 16 @ 7 p.m.

Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School

Thursday, November 9 @ 6:30 p.m.

Protest outside board office

Protests, petitions, soundly argued points on planning mistakes the parents think the Board of Education made – so far nothing has made a difference. The School Board trustees made the decision to close the school and that is what the Board staff are going to do.

Lester B. Pearson High School

Thursday, November 16 @ 7 p.m. (at M.M. Robinson High School)

M.M. Robinson High School

Thursday, November 16 @ 7 p.m.
Extended French and French Immersion (FI) information night: Thursday, November 30 @ 7 p.m.

Nelson High School

Wednesday, November 22 @ 6:30 p.m.

Bateman hug

Bateman parents give their high school a hug – didn’t make any difference – the school is scheduled to be closed in 2020.

Robert Bateman High School

Thursday, November 30 @ 7 p.m.

For students in the Pearson and Bateman catchment areas preparing to begin their high school careers at a school they will not be able to graduate from is an issue that needs some attention from the Board of Education.

So far nothing from the Transition team.

    This has been a trend for the past few years for the graduates of C.H. Norton Public school, quite frankly with the chaos of the PAR I don’t blame them.

    Mr. Bean: Will you please share with us which public high school catchment that you reside in and whether your decision to send your children to Notre Dame is as a result that the desired curriculum (i.e. French Immersion) necessitated additional travel to a more distant public high school?

  • Mr.Bean

    My children tell me that they and many in their grade 8 class will be attending Notre Dame next year. Good by public school. Thanks for nothing. 🙁
