We represent 30 different language groups, with approx. 74% of our families speaking English as a second language at home. We are very proud of our school's rich cultural heritage.In our endeavour to meet curriculum expectations, we continue to develop a positive learning environment where academic success is the norm. Parents are encouraged to become full partners, and teachers regularly seek to improve their practice.

Morning Meal Program
Lamberton has a daily, Morning Meal program. Each day, students are offered a well-balanced snack to set them up for the day! All students are offered a combination of fruit, vegetables and/or dairy products, delivered to their classrooms. We respect the dietary restrictions of all of our students.

Assemblies
At Lamberton, we hold monthly assemblies to recognize and celebrate those students who have modelled the T.D.S.B.'s monthly character traits. The principal leads the assembly with the help of our "Super 5's", a group of Grade 5 students who are aspiring to leadership within the school. Teachers introduce those students from their classrooms who best exemplify the traits.
Focus on Equity
At Lamberton, we provide our staff with guidance to implement an inclusive approach to the design and delivery of curriculum using the James Banks Continuum, as well as opportunities for students to research and make school-wide presentations to celebrate multicultural events throughout the year. Our front foyer showcase, reflects the on-going diversity of our community.
