Boundary and Program Reviews

Donald A. Wilson SS Boundary Review

Donald A Wilson Secondary School has a Regular program boundary as well as a French Immersion (FI) program boundary for all Whitby students.

With both Regular and FI programs being offered at Donald A Wilson SS, the school has experienced sustained enrolment pressures for the past few years. In addition, growth within the school’s existing boundary areas has increased enrolment pressure. Over the past two years, the pandemic and the option for virtual learning has provided some relief to the in-person learning enrolment allowing enrolment to be accommodated on site.

As of October 31, 2021, Donald A Wilson SS had a total enrolment (in-person and virtual learning) of 1,797, with a Ministry Rated Capacity (MRC) to accommodate 1,375. This puts the school’s current capacity utilization rate at 131%, which is unsustainable.

We are asked our community to provide their input and share their feedback about Donald A Wilson’s boundaries.
