Thames Valley District School Board is asking the public to submit name suggestions for the following schools:

• New Belmont Public School
• New Lucan Public School
• New Southeast London Public School
• New West London Public School

Anyone can submit potential school names through the board’s Public Input webpage until January 24, 2025, at 11:59 p.m.

Name submissions reflecting the name of an individual(s) or a family are not permitted and will be removed from the naming process if submitted. This includes submissions that align with the criteria outlined below but are based on the name of an individual(s) or family.

Name submissions must reflect one or more of the following:

• Any name connected to local Indigenous Peoples, history, and traditions that is not the name of an individual or family.
• The name, if any, which applies to the area in which the school is located.
• The name of the street on which the school is located.
• The name of the district or area the school is to serve.
• Values or principles.

A Naming Selection Committee will review all submissions and recommend three options for each school. Trustees will review these options at a future board meeting. Pending Trustee approval, staff will ask school communities to vote for one of three options for their school’s name.
