HDCSB to open elementary school in The Preserve by Kathy Yanchus Metroland West Media 17 | Thursday, November 26, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com The Halton Catholic District School Board has set an ambitious goal to open a new elementary school next fall in a heavy growth area of north Oakville. The $15.92-million school, is to be located in The Preserve community, north of Dundas Street and west of Sixth Line, on Sixteen Mile Drive. It will also include an on-site child-care centre. Notice that the Ontario Ministry of Education had approved the capital project Nov. 9 was long anticipated and is very much needed, according to Giacomo Corbacio, superintendent of facility management services, who presented a report to the board at its regular meeting Nov. 17. To expedite the school's construction, so it can open its doors next September, the board OK'd using a current board elementary school design, and immediately initiated a school attendance boundary review for the new school. The school will be modeled after Milton's St. Benedict Catholic Elementary School and will have capacity for 671 students. It's "imperative" the board meet its goal of a fall opening to alleviate enrolment pressures and address the serious lack of elementary student accommodations in this area, said Corbacio. "I don't think this funding could have come soon enough," said Oakville trustee Paul Marai. "Anybody who ever drives on Dundas Street sees the explosive growth in north Oakville. The HCDSB had applied for funding from the Ministry of Education last year for this site, but was I don't think this funding could have come soon enough.

Between now and the 2018-19 school year, the board's annual elementary enrolment in Oakville is projected to increase at an average rate of 1.64 per cent, said Marai. "We should be encouraging the provincial government to get ahead of these demographic changes by providing funding early, rather than playing catch up," said Marai. The "repeat design" of the new school will not just help staff complete the project within a very tight deadline, but help the board keep costs in check, added Marai.
