Welcome to Central Perth Elementary School

It is my pleasure to welcome all students and families to Central Perth Elementary School. Central Perth is a JK-8 school located north-west of Sebringville. We have a student population of approximately 250 students and 20 staff.

Central Perth is an inclusive educational community where staff, parents and School Council are committed to children and achievement. We believe that learning takes place in an atmosphere that is compassionate, safe, supportive, and enriching. We value literacy, numeracy, citizenship, the environment, and being active.
 
Our school academic focus this year is writing. We are dedicated to increased student achievement by working collaboratively with one another in Learning Teams. During Cycles of Instruction professional research and dialogue takes place to discuss best teaching practices, track student progress and implement additional support to students where needed. We are dedicated to improved student achievement and our EQAO scores clearly demonstrate this.

As part of our commitment to citizenship, equity, and safe schools, Central Perth students and staff participate in the Virtues Project. We read and learn about a monthly virtue. Students are taught how to demonstrate the virtue and are then recognized for their positive citizenship at monthly assemblies. We feel strongly that instilling these virtues (e.g. responsibility, empathy, caring, etc.) assists students in developing both academically and socially. This year we are excited to introduce a nutrition program, whereby students will be given the option of healthy snacks in the morning, three days a week.

Central Perth students participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including numerous sports activities, intramurals, and clubs. Our dedicated staff is committed to providing extra-curricular activities for our students because they see it as an integral part of school life.

We hope you enjoy our website and that of the Avon Maitland District School Board.
Central Perth’s website will be updated throughout the year with our school newsletter, pictures, students’ work and event news. Please feel free to contact the school for more information.
