Dare to Dream, Dare to Fly!
Winona Drive Public School is located south of St.Clair Avenue West between Bathurst and Dufferin streets. The building was constructed in 1959 as a fourth addition to McMurrich Junior Public School. Although McMurrich and Winona are physically joined, they are separate in terms of administration, teaching staff, and grades/programs offered.
Winona Drive Senior Public School strives to provide excellence in education for the young adolescent. Through partnership with the home, our staff provide opportunities for our students to learn and grow intellectually, socially and emotionally. Students have clearly outlined responsibilities which accompany their rights. We have expectations of them, and for them, both in the classroom and beyond.

French Programs
The Extended French program offers students who have successfully completed three years of Core French the option to enter into a more intensive program in grade 7. Students spend approximately 40% of their day in French classes.
The French Immersion program offers students 50% of their subject classes in French and the remainder in English subject classes.
Core French is offered to students in the regular English program in Grade 7 and 8 as part of their basic program. All students partake in Core French.
