The pre-Kindergarten to Grade 8 school will be built on the former site of Sion Catholic Middle School at 7th Street and Grosvenor Avenue. It’s set to open in the fall of 2023 and will have capacity for 700 students and 70 childcare spaces.
As the project moves into the design phase, the school division is requesting that a partnership be formalized with the City of Saskatoon that would see the school become an accessible community space for physical activity.
That could include indoor and outdoor physical activity spaces at the school to be used by both students and the broader community, like a free fitness area available outside of school hours, the letter says.
