The mission of Centennial School is to provide a safe, orderly school community while developing skills for life long learning through the nurturing of respect and responsibility with high expectations for all. We believe that all children can learn and that all children should have the opportunity to develop to their maximum potential. We value each child's individuality. The school serves a population of 328 students in a K-5 configuration.
Most families live relatively close to the school and only a handful of students are bussed.
The community, however, has not been involved to a large extent in the affairs of the school. SPAC, the only school parent group, consists of three parent members in addition to the to required number from the staff. With a significant number of families changing residence during the year, student turnover has averaged about 25 per cent over the past number of years. There are a large number of single parent families, with the average family being in the lower half of the socio-economic scale. Parent involvement at Centennial School is limited to a small but dedicated group.
