FAQ: Sage Creek School New Enrolment Redirection

The school at 315 Sage Creek Blvd opened its doors in 2017 as a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school offering both the English and French Immersion programs. Enrolment at the school grew quickly as families moved to the area. To address enrolment pressures, some specialized learning spaces were repurposed for regular classroom instruction and students at certain grades were required to attend schools in other neighbourhoods. 

With the opening of a new French Immersion elementary school at 355 Des Hivernants Boulevard in September 2025, the school at 315 Sage Creek Blvd has been reconfigured as a Kindergarten to Grade 8 single-track English program school: Sage Creek School (SCS). Repurposed spaces were restored to their original design, ensuring access to practical arts facilities and a full-sized learning commons. 

Enrolment at Sage Creek School is expected to reach capacity quickly.

What is the plan to mitigate enrolment pressures? 

At the March 18, 2025 Board meeting, trustees decided that, when necessary, new student enrolments at Sage Creek School will be redirected to Shamrock School in order to maintain appropriate class sizes across all grade levels.  

Will current students at Sage Creek School be affected?

No. Students who are currently enrolled at SCS are not affected by this decision.  

Who will be impacted by this enrolment change? 

Only new registrants to SCS, in grades where enrolment surpasses divisional targets, may be redirected to Shamrock School.  

Will transportation be provided for students redirected to Shamrock School? 

Yes. 91ºÚÁÏÍø will provide school bus transportation at no cost to families affected by this change.  

Why was Shamrock School chosen as the redirection site? 

Shamrock School was selected because it has available space and is located within reasonable proximity to SCS, allowing 91ºÚÁÏÍø to maintain a strong educational experience for students.  

How will families know if their child is being redirected? 

Families of new registrants will be informed during the enrolment process if their child’s grade level at SCS has exceeded capacity and if redirection to Shamrock School is necessary.  

How long will this redirection plan be in effect? 

The redirection plan will remain in place as long as enrolment pressures at SCS continue and until long-term capacity solutions—such as the new school proposed for Precinct J in 91ºÚÁÏÍø’s —can be explored or implemented.
