Community Use of Schools

Imagine a school with an after-school youth drop-in centre, and community college courses for adults in the evenings. On weekends, it’s a place where community groups hold theatre performances, and Saturday afternoon basketball games. You’ve just imagined the contemporary school, and it’s being created across the province.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE RULES WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE CANCELLATION OF THE CONTRACT BY THE HURON-PERTH CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD.
In addition to accepting the terms & conditions detailed in Board Policy 3E:13, Authorization for Use of School Facilities, all users must also acknowledge review and understanding of Board Policy 3D:17 , Concussion Management – A Protocol for Schools, and the guidelines which are listed as Appendices A-G .
