Designated Schools
Hanover School Division maintains strict catchment areas in order to ensure a balanced enrollment across the division and the viability of all schools. School-age children living with a parent or legal guardian have the right to attend the designated school in the catchment area where their parent(s) or guardian(s) reside.

Senior Level Schools
The Steinbach Regional Secondary School is considered the designated high school for Grade 9 – 12 students from New Bothwell, Blumenort, Kleefeld and Mitchell. Grunthal, Niverville and Landmark students attend high school in their home communities, except for those students in vocational majors.
Rural Areas
Residents within rural areas, please contact the HSD Transportation Department at 204-320-2347 to confirm the designated school for your catchment area.
Residence Change
Families that move from one catchment area to another during the course of a school year may leave their children in their present school until the end of the current year, however, no transportation will be provided. The student would be expected to switch to the designated school at the beginning of the next school year, at the latest.
Schools of Choice
The Schools of Choice Initiative facilitates parental/student choice, within limits, in selecting the public school best suited to the student’s learning requirements. Only those students who qualify under “right to attend school” legislation may exercise choice.
The deadline for submission of applications is May 15th, preceding the start of the school year in September. Visit the Schools of Choice page for additional information, including application forms. Please direct Schools of Choice inquiries to schoolofchoice@hsd.ca.
