About Our School
Lakeview Public School is a community school located at 35 Corkstown Road, off Carling Avenue near Andrew Haydon Park.
As a French Immersion Centre, we encourage an environment that is conducive to the development of second language skills.
Our school operates under a Balanced School Day which means that the Grade 1 to 6 students have two 120 minute periods of uninterrupted learning. Each of these uninterrupted blocks is followed by a nutrition break consisting of a nutritious snack time and a recess time. The last learning block is 60 minutes. Each of these learning blocks allows the teachers more flexibility in their teaching and their students more time to learn and achieve without interruptions.
Academic Programs
- We offer a 2-year bilingual Kindergarten program that offers 50% English and 50% French learning. All of our Kindergarten classes combine both Year 1 and Year 2 students.
- In our Early French Immersion program from grade 1 to 6, students have one hour of Mathematics instruction daily taught in English. In grades 2 to 6, students also have one hour of English Language Instruction daily.
- Our Literacy resource room consists of various resources, including levelled books for guided reading, shared reading texts, read aloud materials, big books and graphic organizers in both languages to provide a rich reading and writing program.
- Our Mathematics resource room includes hands-on learning materials, and professional resources to support a balanced mathematics program for students.
We continue to expand our available reading materials, math resources, technology equipment, fitness equipment, and teaching resources to enable our students to succeed.
Special Education
A Learning Support Teacher (LST) assists classroom teachers to differentiate or modify a student’s program based on the needs of the student. The LST does educational assessments, meets with teachers, parents and support personnel. Teachers are assisted in the development of an Individual Education Plan (IEP) if required, and in differentiating curriculum expectations to meet student needs.
Learning Resource Teachers (LRTs) work with individual or small groups of children in or out of the classroom.
Lakeview Public School is housed in a one-story building which has:
- 10 homeroom classrooms within the school building
- 3 portables classrooms
- A bilingual library/resource centre with many books and videos, DVDs and CDs
- A sensory room to support student needs
- Technology in every room, including a projector or interactive whiteboard and a “tech tub” of devices for student use (chromebooks and/or iPads depending on the age of the students)
- A gymnasium
- Two quality soccer fields (in partnership with Nepean City Soccer Club)
- A large and small play structure
- a large collection of musical instruments, including drums, recorders and ukuleles
Unique to the school is its vicinity to Andrew Haydon Park, with a tunnel under Carling Avenue leading to it. Many classes visit this park on class field trips throughout the year. We are also located in close proximity to the Trans-Canada trail. In the winter months, our students take part in skating at our local community rink as well.
A strong commitment to Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility is embedded throughout the OCDSB 2023-2027 Strategic Plan and captured within each area of focus: learning, well-being, and social responsibility. We strive to ensure that our school is a welcoming and safe place for students of all identities to feel valued and respected as they engage, learn, grow, explore, and discover.
