BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Board of Trustees direct staff to initiate and complete a boundary review for SRA 201 South of Dundas Oakville (formerly SRA 102 and 103) and SRA 202 North of Dundas Oakville (Formerly SRA 108) to establish a new secondary school boundary for the new Oakville NE #1 Secondary School and to review the distribution of the French Immersion Programs.
Objectives of this Boundary Review
At the November 4, 2025 Board meeting, HDSB Trustees approved a motion to initiate a boundary review process to create the boundary for Oakville NE #1 HS (SRA 202). The initiation of this boundary review seeks to achieve the following actions:
- Create a new boundary for the Oakville NE #1 HS, currently holding at White Oaks Secondary School;
- Realign the French Immersion Boundaries for school facilities south of Dundas, and consider whether a new FI program at the new school is warranted;
- Review the viability of the secondary French Immersion program at T.A. Blakelock High School, as enrolment and participation have been decreasing year over year; and,
- Consider the long-term accommodation needs of the Board, and what initiatives could be housed at the White Oak Secondary School North Campus.

Nov. 27, 2025 Communication to the Community
This message was provided to parents/guardians in potentially impacted school communities on November 27, 2025
SUBJECT: Notification of Oakville NE #1 HS Boundary Review
Dear parent/guardian,
We are writing to inform you of an upcoming boundary review for communities in northeast Oakville. At the Nov. 4, 2025, Board meeting, Trustees of the Halton District School Board passed a motion (below) to initiate the process for a boundary review. This boundary review is referred to as the Oakville NE #1 HS Boundary Review.
Trustee motion (as presented in Board Report 25122)
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Board of Trustees direct staff to initiate and complete a boundary review for SRA 201 South of Dundas Oakville (formerly SRA 102 and 103) and SRA 202 North of Dundas Oakville (Formerly SRA 108) to establish a new secondary school boundary for the new Oakville NE #1 Secondary School and to review the distribution of the French Immersion Programs.
There are two (2) study areas involved in this review – one for English programming and one for French Immersion. Only families living within these study areas may be impacted by the final outcome of the review.
What is the goal of this boundary review?
The goal of this review is to create a new English Track boundary for the future high school in Oakville (Oakville NE #1 HS), which is anticipated to open in September 2027, aligning school boundaries with community needs and supporting a seamless transition. A secondary goal of this review is to review how French Immersion is being delivered in Oakville secondary schools and determine whether distribution of the program could be improved to better support students and families.
How does this impact my family?
You are receiving this message because your address falls within the study area and the outcome may result in your child attending a different secondary school than the current boundary indicates. This review will not change elementary school boundaries.
What are the next steps?
-
A Boundary Review Steering Committee (made up of trustees, senior administration and planning staff) will be formed to confirm the consultation process, determine the schools involved and develop initial options, in accordance with the HDSB’s School Boundary Review Administrative Procedure.
-
A Boundary Review Committee, with parent/guardian representation, will be created in January 2026 to participate and provide feedback on the options.
-
The option(s) will be shared at a virtual public information session. Details will be provided once confirmed.
This boundary review is expected to conclude by Fall 2026, with any changes taking effect as early as September 2026 for the French Immersion Program and September 2027 for the English Program (aligned with the opening of Oakville NE #1 HS).
Further information
More details will be shared with affected school communities as the process continues. Families can stay informed by visiting the boundary review webpage, which contains background information and updates to date. If you have questions about this boundary review, please email OakvilleNE1HS@hdsb.ca.
Sincerely,
Halton District School Board
