Students will automatically be enrolled at their next catchment school as part of the normally prescribed grade to grade transition (unless the school is informed otherwise). No registration is required.

Expressions of interest in specific programs at your child’s school should be made to the school principal. For additional information about high school programs available through Gulf Islands Secondary School, contact the school’s principal.

CROSS-BOUNDARY TRANSFER REQUESTS: 

Should you wish to enroll your child in a school outside of your catchment area (non-neighbourhood school), a cross-boundary transfer request form (Fillable PDF | PDF) must be completed annually. 

Prior to submitting the form to the requested school for approval, parents must obtain signatures from the principal of the neighbourhood school. The form will be date-stamped. The deadline for accepting cross-boundary request forms is February 15. Placement is subject to the availability of space. Transportation for out-of-catchment requests is not guaranteed.
