Review Purpose
The primary purpose of this boundary review is to establish an attendance area boundary for a new school currently under construction at 95 Loxleigh Lane, Breslau, in the Township of Woolwich. The school is tentatively scheduled to open in September 2027.
There will be no changes before June 2027.
The Board of Trustees is the approval body for any formal boundary change. If the Board of Trustees approves a change, students who live within the new school boundary will receive a communication from the WRDSB with further information about next steps.
