The Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon has been approved to take the next steps in the construction of its new French-language Catholic elementary school in Hanmer / Val Thérèse.
The Ontario Ministry of Education recently granted the school board the approval to proceed with the tender process.
CSC Nouvelon has already received the capital funding for the construction of the new school as well as the purchase of the property to house students currently enrolled at École Notre-Dame (Hanmer), École St-Joseph (Hanmer) and École Ste-Thérèse (Val Thérèse). The new school will be built on land located in Val Thérèse on Municipal Road 80 (formerly 69 North) at Shirley Avenue.
“Our government is investing $14 billion over ten years to build new schools, improve existing facilities and create child care spaces to ensure young people can reach their full potential," said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education, in a release from the school board. “We believe that students deserve to learn in-person in state-of-the-art, accessible, modern facilities. A new consolidated French-language Catholic elementary school in Val Thérèse is part of our government’s investment in school construction to prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow.”
CSC Nouvelon Director of Education and Secretary Treasurer, Paul Henry said that during their consultation process, families stated their desire to offer students an appealing and user-friendly environment that will allow them to thrive in a green school designed for their future needs in this digital era. “While respecting this wish, we will seek to offer our students and staff a new school that will meet their expectations and needs,” he said.
