At Oxford-On-Rideau Public, we strive for excellence in all that we do. We believe in an inclusive culture of care where we take pride in meeting the needs of all of our students. Through Service Excellence, we engage you, the parents in supporting your children in their educational journey.
Our school teaches to the head and the heart through our character education programs. We promote the virtues of perseverance, courage, generosity, responsibility, caring, respect, resiliency, empathy, honesty, and fairness. We are preparing your children to be good citizens and the stewards of our future.
Our students enjoy quality learning opportunities in math, science, languages, health and physical education and the arts. We provide our students with a learning environment that recognizes that children learn best when engaged with real world, authentic tasks, involving problem solving using 21st century skills. We embrace the use of technology tools and promote the use of critical thinking skills where student voice leads the learning.
We focus on building strong physical literacy skills because we believe students who get active at school, stay active for life, leading to overall student wellness, mental health, and academic success.
As principal, I take the responsibility of caring for your children seriously and I am dedicated to working with all members of our school community to provide them with a quality education.
Sincerely,
Karen Paterson
