Our Students
Convent Glen E.S. currently serves approximately 150 students. We have a multicultural and diverse student population representing many cultural backgrounds which enriches our school community. Upon completing grade 5, most of our students go to Henry Larsen E.S. for grades 6 to 8.
Our Staff
Our committed and caring staff brings a wide range of educational backgrounds, interests, and expertise to our school. Many of our teachers have additional qualifications and specialists in a variety of areas including reading, mathematics, special education, the arts, English as a second language (ESL), and French as second language (FSL). We consistently focus on meeting the needs of such a rich, multicultural student population.
Teachers are supported by a dedicated team of educational assistants, early childhood educators, library technician, office staff, and custodians. We are also very fortunate to have many volunteers working at the school, as part of our extended team.
Our staff provides organized activities to enrich the daily experiences of our students. These activities include sports teams, intramural sports, choir, Green Team, and a variety of clubs (i.e., knitting club, chess club).
Our Community
The Convent Glen E.S. School Council contributes to our positive school climate. Our active and supportive council works collaboratively with our staff to foster strong relationships between home, school, and the wider community. Our council supports our school in many ways including providing funding for our library renewal project and guest speakers for our classes.
We are very fortunate to have many parents/guardians generously donate their time as volunteers in fundraising activities such as walk-a-thon, popcorn days, movie nights and various other events throughout the school year. Our parent volunteers also assist our teachers, work with students in the classroom, organize events, accompany students on field trips, and attend extra-curricular activities such as sporting events.
