Pembina Trails School Division is consistently working to provide learners with safe and inclusive learning spaces by maintaining our schools and adding new spaces to match the growing needs in our division.

Projected completion: Fall 2027

The project to build a new dual-track French and English kindergarten to Grade 8 school in the Prairie Pointe neighbourhood is well underway and a groundbreaking ceremony was held on June 9, 2026 to officially kick off construction. The school will have capacity for 800 students and 134 child-care spaces, and will include classroom spaces, a gymnasium, a multipurpose room, and specialized learning areas to support hands-on programming. It will also include resource, guidance and student support spaces, human ecology, life skills and a hygiene room, library learning commons, a kitchenette, applied technology spaces, and associated administrative, ancillary, and building support areas.

Structural construction continues to progress with roof joist installation, masonry work, hollowcore placement and topping pour, and grouting activities. Mechanical, electrical and HVAC rough-ins have also been taking place, along with site servicing and civil works, including land drainage, underground utilities, and parking lot construction.
