Current Hamber catchment VSB elementary school students moving to Grade 8 at Eric Hamber 

Registration for grade 8 will be facilitated by your child's current VSB Elementary School. Your family will receive a Hamber Grade 8 enrolment/course selection form from their current school. These are usually distributed in January of the school year before students enter grade 8. 

Grade 9 - 12 Hamber catchment students currently attending a different VSB secondary school who wish to attend Eric Hamber 

Please ask your current VSB secondary school for a transfer form to attend Hamber as your catchment school. This must be signed by the student, parent/guardian, and a principal/vice principal from the current school. Please submit the signed transfer form to the office at Hamber Secondary. One of our administrators will contact you regarding your transfer application.
