Athletics and extracurricular sports Transportation (school bus service) Families apply for school bus transportation through the district’s Transportation Services online application. Students must be registered on a route to ride, will be issued a bus pass by the driver, and scan the pass when boarding/exiting; guest riders are not permitted. The district also publishes detailed school bus safety expectations (e.g., arrive at the stop 10 minutes early, remain seated, and follow safe crossing procedures).
- The school has an Athletics program, with team registration communicated through the weekly CNB newsletter (for three weeks per sport).
- Sports schedules and “bus pick schedule” are coordinated by the district, with a district “MASTER SPORTS SCHEDULE” link provided.
Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
School bus transportation is provided through Central Okanagan Public Schools Transportation Services, with an online application required. Riders must be registered on a route, use a driver-issued bus pass (scanned on entry/exit), and follow district bus safety rules (including arriving at the stop 10 minutes before pickup and only crossing in front of the bus when red alternating lights are flashing and the driver signals it is safe). Families are responsible for planning safe walking routes to and from bus stops, and the district notes a 30 km/h school-zone speed limit from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (unless otherwise posted).
Enrollment
District enrollment is completed through Central Okanagan Public Schools’ enrolment process: families find their catchment school, watch the enrolment application tutorial, and complete the online enrolment application. The district lists required documentation (proof of age/citizenship and BC residency/address) and notes that some newcomers may need an enrollment code through the Welcome Centre before an application can be completed.
