Program Area Review

Program Area Review – Summary:

The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø is currently conducting a Program Area Review involving Kensington CS, King Edward Jr & Sr PS, Orde St PS, and Ryerson CS. The reason for this review is to address the over-utilization/accommodation pressures at Orde St PS, the low enrolment at Kensington CS, and to achieve a balance of enrolment across all schools within the area. A Program Area Review Team (PART) has been formed and will be reviewing data, discussing impacts, and making recommendations for this group of schools. The membership of the PART includes the Trustee, Superintendent, Planning Staff, School Principals, and a School Council Chair/designate from each school.

Proposed Changes through this Review:

The PART is proposing the following changes (Please note that no decisions have been made for this review):

1. Changing the Orde St PS grade range from JK to grade 8 to JK to grade 6. The word “Junior” will be added to the school name, changing it to “Orde Street Junior Public School”. Change proposed to be implemented for September 2026.
2. Moving the Orde St PS grades 7 and 8 to Ryerson CS. Change proposed to be implemented for September 2026.
3. Redirecting new residential developments (have not been occupied yet) within the Orde St PS boundary to Kensington CS and King Edward Jr & Sr PS. Change is proposed to be implemented for September 2025.
