Students registering from outside of the Greater Victoria School District (SD #61) are asked to register at the school during Registration Week.

Kindergarten Transfer Process

  • Parents who wish to have their Kindergarten child attend a school other than their catchment school are given a Kindergarten Transfer Application form at their catchment school during Kindergarten Registration Week, January 25 – 29, 2016.
  • Parents submit the application form to the Board office by February 1, 2016, 4:00 pm.
  • At the end of Kindergarten Registration Week, the District reviews the enrolment numbers of in-catchment students at each school and identifies schools that have space available for out-of-catchment students. Transfer applications are then approved or denied.
  • When transfers are denied, the requested school creates a wait list that is based on the number on the registration form.
  • Schools manage their own wait lists. When space becomes available, the schools contact the next student on their wait list.
  • Kindergarten families are informed in writing of transfer approvals or denials prior to the end of February.
  • If parents wish to apply for a Kindergarten transfer after the Kindergarten Registration week, they can do so during the K-12
  • Student Transfer Application Week, February 11 to 19, 2016.
