Today, we were thrilled to walk through the new St. Patrick school — built on the original site of the former St. Patrick school — and take in the incredible progress made so far.
This transformative project has been made possible through the support of the Province of Ontario, which provided $27.5 million in capital funding. The new facility will offer modern learning spaces and much-needed pupil places to serve our growing community.
During the walkthrough, our guests had the opportunity to see firsthand the exciting developments taking shape. The school is on track to open its doors to students in September 2025.
We were pleased to welcome several community leaders for the walkthrough, including City of Kitchener Councillors Stephanie Stretch and Dave Schnider, Region of Waterloo Councillors Colleen James and Matt Rodrigues, along with Trustees Tracey Weiler, Kathy Doherty-Masters, Bob Sikora and David Guerin. School Administrator Erin Stevens and key members of the WCDSB facilities team were also in attendance.
We were especially pleased to welcome Lori Prospero, CEO of Rising Oaks Early Learning Centres, which will operate within the school and offer 88 licensed childcare spaces to local families.
The countdown is on — we’re excited to welcome students into a fresh, modern learning environment that will serve the community for years to come.
Families interested in joining our vibrant school community are encouraged to register today.
