The new Lawfield was built to house 600 students and replace the old lawfield(6-8) and Vern Ames(Jk-gr5). The Board agreed to allow French Immersion to share the building. Lawfield also started allowing Out of catchment kids in grades JK-5 from nearby Richard Beasley to attend. This sent numbers to over 800 students. Once the cap was placed on out of catchment enrolement and the new Michelle Jean school was opened, Lawfield's Enrolment now sits between 600- 700. Richard Beasley's Enrolement saw a great surge when this out of catchment rule was put into place at Lawfield and Full Day Kindergarden started. I feel that kids are often going out of catchment to attend schools which put other schools at risk. This happens a great deal at the Secondary School levels as well. (ex. Westmount, Sherwood)
