Encompassing a large rural geographic area, the school boundaries extend from the Walden Township line immediately east of Nairn Centre to Graham Road just before the Vermillion River bridge on Regional Road 55, north as far as Worthington and south to Lake Penage.

Ojibwe language instruction is offered to all students whose parents request it and last June we hosted our first Pow-wow.
