Walter Murray Collegiate, established in 1961, is a comprehensive high school on Saskatoon's east side. As a large school of approximately 1,800 students who represent more than 50 different nationalities and come from all areas of Saskatoon, we have the ability to offer a selection of options in a variety of courses, both curricular and extracurricular. 

Walter Murray is home to Saskatoon Public Schools' Academically Gifted Education (SAGE) program for students in grades 9 to 12. The SAGE program creates an environment that fosters advanced learning, critical thinking and creative problem-solving in gifted learners by providing enriched opportunities, both in and out of school, and building a community of like-minded learners.

We are also home to a French Immersion program. French Immersion at the collegiate level builds on students’ established language skills while also establishing competency in curricular subjects. It is for students whose first language is not French and who have taken kindergarten to Grade 8 French Immersion, late French Immersion or who have equivalent fluency. Students who complete the French Immersion program earn a bilingual certificate.

Students can also choose from language electives in German, Japanese, Spanish, and Core French. Students interested in learning more about Germany and its language have the opportunity to participate in a six-month or three-week German Exchange program.

In Grade 11, Outdoor School provides students with an opportunity for outdoor adventure and environmental education. While traveling through the province to embark on a semester-long outdoor adventure, students earn five credits in English language arts, environmental science, geography, Indigenous studies and physical education. Students who thrive on challenge, or need to be challenged more, consistently thrive in Outdoor School.

In all grades, our band program offers students tremendous opportunities to develop their skills. The grade 9, 10, and senior bands involve roughly 200 students in the program. Enriching our music program, approximately 50 students enroll in choir each year. Students in band and choir travel annually and participate in festivals. In addition, we have many talented students in our drama, visual and graphic arts programs, providing these students with the opportunity to showcase their artistic abilities.

As a comprehensive high school, Walter Murray offers a range of electives, including accounting, commercial cooking, construction and carpentry, financial literacy, food studies, graphic arts, interior design and decorating, machining, photography, robotics and automotive, welding and more. Outside of class, we also offer a full complement of extracurricular programs, including a multitude of clubs and activities. 

At Walter Murray, there truly are opportunities for everyone!
