Secondary School Registration

The Wellington Catholic District School Board is home to close to 3,000 secondary students in 4 secondary schools serving families from across the City of Guelph and Wellington County. Our Catholic schools are founded on a commitment to high standards for achievement and the faith formation of our students.

It is the philosophy of the WCDSB that all students, regardless of their social, emotional behavioural, physical and developmental abilities will experience a sense of belonging and of being included in our community, reflecting our commitment to the pursuit of inclusion strategies throughout our practices and services.

We believe that all students can succeed. Our goal is to ensure that students graduate from high school so that they may move on to the pathway destination of their choice. Pathways can lead to a destination of choice: Apprenticeship, College, Community Living, University or Work.

There are six ways students can participate in innovative programs that help take students beyond the traditional classroom. These include Student Success Teams, Specialist High Skills Majors, Expanded Co-op Projects, Dual Credit Programs, and an expanded focus on the Grade 8 to 9 transition.

Students who are new to the Wellington Catholic District School Board may register online. Please click here to complete the online student registration form. 

ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!

Like all Ontario Catholic high schools, Bishop Macdonell is open access. Students are NOT REQUIRED to be Roman Catholic to attend our school.

All are welcome at our CELTIC table! No matter what the religious tradition of your family – whether denominational Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, etc. – if you would like to explore our faith-based learning community, then you are welcome to attend. Contact our school Guidance Office Administrator to arrange a meeting to learn more about our inclusive Catholic community.

All enrolled students participate in our full program of religious education, liturgical celebration and retreats. Our open access graduates speak of the gift of a comprehensive faith education for mind, body, and spirit that educates the whole person for all of life.

All are welcome here
