Feb. 3, 2025
At the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington (PVNC) Catholic District School Board, we are committed to ensuring all students thrive in inclusive, faith-filled and supportive learning environments.
As part of this commitment, PVNC Catholic has launched the final phase of the PVNC Catholic Every Student Counts Student Census.
All current Grade 7 students will have the opportunity to participate in the census from February 18-28, 2025 during classroom time.
This is the final cohort to be administered the 2024-2025 census.
This confidential survey gathers demographic and perception data to help us better understand our students and remove barriers to their success.
