St. Lawrence is a Catholic Elementary School located in the North End neighbourhood in Hamilton’s ward 2. According to data from the HWCDSB, there are 298 students who attend St. Lawrence from grades JK-8. 70% are within walking distance, 12% are bussed to school, and 18% are out of catchment; however, due to many different reasons, some students are driven to school in private vehicles. This is the case in every school across the City.

Our goal is to get 100% of students who live within 1.6km to walk or wheel to school on a daily basis. When we surveyed the community, we learned that 68% of students live within 1.6km from school, and that 60% of students usually walk or wheel to school. We would like to see this number go from 60% to 68%.

Here's what's happening at St. Lawrence CES

In November and December of 2021, members of the St. Lawrence school community participated in a survey to identify how students are getting to school, the routes they take, and the barriers they face along the way. Below are the results of the survey which include:

  • Footprint map: This map shows all of the routes that were submitted in the survey
  • Infographic: The infographic is a summary of responses from the community. Percentages shown indicate proportion of respondents.

Next steps will be based on action planning with the school community. Stay tuned for more details!
