Our Students
Lakeview P.S. has an enrollment of approximately 300 students. Our students come from the Crystal Bay, Lakeview, Lynwood, Bayshore (grades 4-6 EFI students only) and Bells Corners catchment areas. Approximately half of our students are bussed to and from school. Upon completion of Grade 6, our students attend Bell High School for Grade 7.
Our Staff
Our teachers, educational assistants, early childhood educators, library, office, and custodial staff have a variety of educational backgrounds, interests, and experiences that enrich our learning community. Throughout the year staff upgrade their skills by taking part in curriculum development workshops such as mathematics, social studies, and the integration of the arts as well as other professional development.
Our staff work collaboratively as a professional learning community participating in monthly staff meetings focused on teaching practices that can increase student achievement. In addition to implementing the provincial curriculum, our staff organize a variety of extra curricular events and activities such as the Terry Fox Walk, Percuchant (our choir and musical performance group), clubs and sports. Under staff guidance, our motivated students run various activities that stress their commitment to both their neighbours and the global community, such as the December Food Drive, Toonie Tuesday for the Education Foundation and supporting our local community’s flood relief efforts.
Our Community
Lakeview P.S. benefits from strong parental and community support. Volunteers are a welcome presence in the school, reading with children, accompanying them on field trips, and organizing fund-raising events, including pizza and popcorn days. Newsletters, postings at the school, and our School Council website keep parents informed of School Council activities and encourage participation in meetings/events. Our School Council has raised money toward two play structures for the children to enjoy safely, technology, including interactive whiteboards, and many learning activities and field trips, offering valuable experiences to our students.
Riverpark Place is a retirement home located next to the school, and our students visit the residence to sing and dance for the seniors at different times of the year. They, in turn, are invited to come to the school for our Remembrance Day Assembly and Mayfair celebrations.
We also benefit from programming offered by the Ottawa Public Library and Ottawa Public Health as well as volunteers in our school from the Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE).

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.
