We’re proud of our school and like to share our spirit.
Assemblies
Whole school assemblies take place Friday mornings. The purpose of these assemblies is to create a sense of community and an opportunity for students to learn together and to share their leaning in an informal way. An important element of our assemblies is also to have children learn appropriate audience manners. We strive to have the children be attentive and appreciative listeners. If your child will be presenting at a Friday assembly, you will be notified by the music teacher or your child's teacher.
Each assembly starts with the singing of our national anthem in both languages, and concludes with the singing of our school song.
O Canada!
O Canada! Our home and native land True patriot love in all of us command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. | O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux, Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux! Car ton bras sait porter l'épée Il sait porter la croix! Ton histoire est une épopée , Des plus brillants exploits. Et ta valeur, de foi trempée Protégera nos foyers et nos droits Protégera nos foyers et nos droits. |
Land Acknowledgement
Before each assembly, we acknowledge the land where we gather.
Janet Johnstone School Song
Our school is not windows, concrete and steel.
It’s the people who are in it and the way that they feel.
It’s children and teachers and parents who,
Each makes a difference the whole year through.
By caring and sharing all those feelings
that together make our school one that is simply “Great”!
We help each other learn and grow.
We give our best each day, and so,
We’re proud of our school and its Red and Blue
JANET JOHNSTONE, We Love You
