History
The Wellington Catholic District School Board is the successor to the Wellington Catholic Separate School Board (French: Conseil des écoles séparées catholiques de Wellington), which was established in the mid-1960s when it operated English and French schools. In 1998, after the Fewer School Boards Act of 1997 was passed, the boards became as follows:
- The English-language Separate District School Board No. 48[7]
- The French-language Separate District School Board No. 64, which evolved into Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud
English-language Separate District School Board No. 48 became known as the Wellington Catholic District School Board in 1999.
Program
Wellington Catholic provides education from junior kindergarten to grade 12.
The board also provides early literacy programs to support children in grades 1 through 3. Full day kindergarten is available at all elementary Catholic schools.
