Our Staff
The staff at Central Public School is dedicated to educational excellence. Our staff contains 13 classroom teachers, one principal, an office manager, 1 library clerk and 2 custodians that look after the building. Special Education, Early Literacy and core French staff are also available on-site.
Parents and Community
Central P.S. School Council meets each month. We have a dedicated group of parents who take a keen interest in working in a collaborative manner with school staff. We invite and encourage all parents to attend our informal meetings.
Academic Programs
In addition to the regular curriculum offered at the school Central P.S. has developed an At-Home Book Bag Program to support our students. Many students participate by taking home a book to read each night. Central encourages regular and consistent reading in order to help develop strong independent readers.
Through the assistance of several dedicated parent volunteers we have also been able to initiate the Strong Start early literacy program to assist our kindergarten students.
