3. Dufferin Peel Catholic School Board  Many families will choose a program at one of the Catholic Secondary Schools in the area. Sunny View does not have direct access to program information in the Catholic school board, and we are not able to facilitate the course selection and registration process. Parents must arrange registration directly with the school of their choice. We request notification of a decision to attend a Catholic secondary school to ensure school records are directed appropriately. Private Secondary Schools  A wide variety of secondary school programs are offered in a private school setting. Applications and registration must be completed directly by families choosing a private school and again we request notification in our office.
