Honouring Our Past
Centennial Road Jr. P.S. has been a part of the community for over 100 years when S.S. #11 was set up in 1836 to serve the children living along the Scarborough - Pickering border. The present school opened on October 11, 1946, and celebrated its 50th anniversary in the 1995-1996 school year.
The school culture reflects the historical traditions and values set by the community coupled with the most recent growth and development of retail shops and housing sub-divisions.
The Centennial Road staff are dedicated to:
- providing a balanced approach to literacy and numeracy instruction,
- developing problem solving and critical thinking skills across the curriculum,
- promoting personal and social responsibility through school based character development initiatives,
- strengthening our partnership between home and school to support student learning and achievement, and
- engaging our students to broaden their own interests and passions through an active participation in all facets of school and community life, including sports, clubs and leadership opportunities.
Student Touchstone Statement
We come to Centennial Road Jr. P.S. to learn to be
the best person we can be no matter what obstacles come our way. We will work to be a successful and a caring person in our communities. The TDSB character attributes are the catalyst to students learning and practising good character and the importance of service in the school and larger community.
Language For Communication
Students use their skills and knowledge to speak, view, listen, read and write to respond to, create and understand information. We are teaching our students to communicate effectively by introducing various writing forms, utilizing the writing process, sharing key strategies (detail, voice, organization, conventions) and providing authentic opportunities to learn.
Problem Solving in Mathematics
Learning mathematics is more than a mastery of basic skills. Students are provided with opportunities to learn mathematical structures, operations, processes, patterns and language in all five math strands. Our focus is for our students to use these tools (knowledge and skills) to reason, justify conclusions and express ideas clearly when solving problems.
Partnerships With The Community
At Centennial Road Jr. P.S., we are creating partnerships with our community to support the curriculum, to create a shared responsibility for our community and to enhance the relevance of learning. Our partnerships include the Toronto Police Services, the Scarborough Centre For Healthy Communities and coop and job placements from secondary and post secondary institutions.
