Profile
Bayview
Public School
2008-2009
The
students of Bayview Public School have developed a love of
learning. Our current school motto is "Building for a Better Tomorrow"
which reflects the current changes that Bayview is undergoing. Our students
are striving to achieve their personal goals through their educational
careers at Bayview and to set realistic and achievable goals for the
future.
At
Bayview we strive to provide a well-rounded education for our students.
Students have equitable computer time, which is delivered in the classroom
as well as in our mini computer lab. When our renovations are complete,
we will have a new computer lab located within our library area.
Our school website features school information, activity opportunities
and
school events. All of our classroom teachers use the computer to produce
student report cards. A comprehensive physical education program is
provided for our students where the prime focus is active participation,
the improvement of their fitness level and to have doing so. Daily physical
activities take place in the classroom, on the playground and within
our community in the form of neighbourhood walks and visits to the local
park.
The staff has developed a collegial atmosphere where sharing and
co-operation are paramount. A well developed Science and Technology
program provides unique opportunities for every student. Programs such
as Peer Tutoring, Special Presentations, Reading Buddies and Monitors
are provided for the students to develop their sense of community at
Bayview.
Bayview
Public School first opened its doors to students in 1969.
We currently have about 400 students who are enrolled in classes from
the Junior Kindergarten level to Grade 8. We have a very active School
Council and Bayview Parent Auxiliary who work diligently to provide
the students with extra activities by supporting and encouraging programs
and raising funds for extra student opportunities such as Drama Presentations,
the Grade 8 trip to Ottawa, and the Grade 4 Camp Kitchi trip. Parent
and community members are invited to attend and participate in functions
such as the Primary Skating Program, Jump Rope for Heart, and the Terry
Fox Run. An active group of volunteers assist within the classrooms
and run the school's Safe Arrival Programme. Our school participates
in a Milk Program and the sale of Submarine Sandwiches, Hot Dogs and
Pizza.
