3 new Manitoba schools welcome students to classrooms

Three new schools in Manitoba are welcoming students into their classrooms for the first time this school year.

The province said Friday that a French immersion school and a French programming school have opened in south Winnipeg for kindergarten to Grade 8 students, along with a kindergarten to Grade 4 school in Steinbach.

“By investing in modern, inclusive learning environments and accessible child-care spaces, we’re ensuring that students in growing neighbourhoods like Winnipeg’s Sage Creek and Steinbach have the opportunities and resources they need to thrive from their earliest years through to graduation,” Education Minister Tracy Schmidt said in a statement.

Manitoba has budgeted more than $20 million this year for four additional schools, planned for Brandon, West St. Paul, Transcona and south Winnipeg.
