Beaver Brae Prepares for Influx of Grade 7 and 8 Students


Parents can expect a smooth transition when Beaver Brae opens its doors to grade seven and eight students next year.

Clinton Bruetsch is the principal of the high school and provided trustees with the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board and update of their process to date.

Bruetsch admits some parents have concerns about sending younger kids into a secondary
school environment.

Bruetsch says the grade seven and eight students will be using the upper east academic wing when school
starts in the fall, giving them their own space.

As many as 160 students are expected to be added to Beaver Brae's student population in the fall.
