Lansdowne Public School – Home of the 29ers
Lansdowne Public School is a dynamic Kindergarten to Grade 8 school offering both English and French Immersion programming to approximately 320 students. We are proud to offer an Ojibwe Language Program and provide ongoing support to our First Nations, Métis, and Inuit students and families through the guidance of an Indigenous Support Worker.
At Lansdowne, our students are at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated staff is committed to fostering academic excellence, responsible citizenship, and personal growth in a safe, inclusive, and caring environment where everyone belongs.
We offer a wide range of special events and extra-curricular activities to spark the interests and talents of our students. From sports like basketball, volleyball, cross-country, and soccer, to clubs such as choir, chess, Go Green, and Lansdowne’s Got Talent, there’s something for everyone. Thanks to support from community partners like the Horticultural Society, VETAC, and the Kiwanis, our schoolyard has been transformed into a vibrant outdoor space with beautiful gardens, seating stones, and a Gaga Ball pit that encourages active play and social interaction.
Community partnerships are at the core of our school culture. Every day, our students benefit from breakfast and snack programs supported by Better Beginnings Better Futures and the IODE. The YMCA Daycare operates onsite, offering care from infancy through school age, along with before and after-school care to school-aged children. We are also grateful for our ongoing relationships with organizations such as N’Swakamok Native Friendship Centre, Shkagamik-Kwe Health Centre, the Kinsmen Club, the Donovan West End Action Committee Network, Frontier College and many more. This past year, students enjoyed enriching experiences like gardening with DEWCAN during Cultivate Your Garden, making bannock at Shkagamik-Kwe, attending a symphony performance at the public library, participating in a school-wide scavenger hunt, and celebrating together during Lansdowne’s year-end Play Day. Additionally, the Elizabeth Fry Society continues to provide valuable peer mediation training for our students.
As we look ahead to the 2025–2026 school year, we’re excited for another vibrant year of learning, connection, and growth.
Each day, Lansdowne Public School comes alive through the care, energy, and commitment of our students, staff, families, and community partners. Together, we make Lansdowne a GREAT place to learn where we reach minds and touch hearts!
