Welcome to Listowel Eastdale Public School

We are a school focused on student learning and cultivating character.

Eastdale is a Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 school located in the growing community of Listowel, Ontario.  We have over 220 students in the school, along with 20 dedicated and caring staff members.  Our grade six students move on to Listowel Central Public School for grades seven and eight.

We are a community school, sharing our facilities with other agencies in North Perth.  The North Perth Day Care runs a child care program at the school before and after every school day.  The Early Years Centre runs programs for parents and their children throughout the year and the North Perth Parks and Recreation Department provides community children with special programs during all holidays and on P.D. days.  Many other community groups use our facilities to host their events as well.

Our staff offers many extra-curricular activities for our students to become involved in. We offer a range of athletic opportunities from junior teams to recess intramurals.  We also boast a strong environment club, dance team, and spirit club.  Community members look forward to our Grade 6 Shakespearian production at the end of the school year.  

Eastdale has a dynamic School Council and many loyal volunteers.  The school council provides fundraising and support to offer our students special opportunities.  Our volunteers run a snack program, and help with reading programs and classroom activities. 

We partner with several classes at nearby Listowel District Secondary School.  Students from the high school assist with reading programs for some of our primary students.  This provides leadership and learning opportunities for the older students and reading and learning practice for the younger ones.  We also have numerous community agencies working with the school to ensure a positive learning experience for all.

Our academic initiatives this year will be to continue to focus on achievement in numeracy and literacy with specific emphasis on reading and non-fiction writing.  As a staff we will continue to develop our skills to provide our students with the best education possible while encouraging character development.
