The new Catholic elementary school in Barrhaven South will not open in September 2023 as scheduled, forcing the school board to find spaces for hundreds of students next fall.
The new Barrhaven South elementary school on Main Halyard Lane was scheduled to open in September 2023, with spaces for 507 Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 students. A report for the Ottawa Catholic School Board says that opening date is "no longer possible", and construction delays mean it will not be ready until January 2024.
The new school will accommodate students who currently attend St. Benedict Elementary School and St. Cecilia Elementary School. To accommodate students of the new school and account for enrolment pressures at St. Benedict school, the board has decided to form the new Barrhaven South elementary school in September with a full complement of staff and students in Kindergarten to Grade 5. The Kindergarten and Grade 4-5 students will go to St. Benedict school under the "Barrhaven South elementary school" banner, while Grade 1 to 3 students will go to St.
"In particular, however, we understand that it will be more disruptive to those Grade 6 students who will transition to a high school the following year. These students would spend only six months at the new school."
