Welcome and thank you for registering with the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board (HWCDSB). Below is a link to download the registration form and an explanation of our admission procedures. 

HWCDSB is happy to announce that to further support Ukrainian families arriving in Canada, tuition fees will be waived as announced by the Ministry of Education.

We understand you may not have any/all the documentation indicated below. You can rest assured that this will not delay the process as our goal is to ensure a smooth transition for your child(ren) into our system. 

The Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School is working together with the City of Hamilton to support and welcome Ukrainian arrivals to our community, and to assist families as they prepare to register their children in school.

Information on how to register your child in an HWCDSB school has been specially prepared for Ukrainian newcomer families and their sponsors, and provides a complete step-by-step instruction guide on the school admission process.

The information is available in both English and Ukrainian at the following link: https://www.hwcdsb.ca/registration/

Through the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET), the Canadian government has granted emergency authorization for Ukrainians to enter into or remain in Canada and to attend a publicly funded school in Ontario without payment.
