We are very pleased to share that the Ontario government announced funding yesterday for a new JK-12 school in Newcastle. 

The new school will be located on board-owned property in the Foster Northwest Neighbourhood at Grady Drive and Ruddell Road in Newcastle.  

The $75.9 million in funding will support the creation of 1,445 pupil spaces and 49 licensed child care spaces, announced as part of the Ministry of Education’s Capital Priorities Program.  

We greatly welcome this new capital funding as a positive step towards addressing the enrolment pressures we are experiencing in the Clarington area and concerns for the safety of students attending school on a highway classified provincially as a staged freeway.   

We look forward to the building of this new school, which will benefit students and families for many years to come.
