About Us
At present there are around 238 亚洲成人网 attending École Willow Point in grades Kindergarten to grade 5. In 2009, there was a seismic upgrade and an addition/renovation increased the capacity of the school and reduced the need for portable classrooms. A new gym was built and the old gym turned into a library, computer lab and classroom. A new multipurpose room was also constructed and the old library and computer room were converted back to classrooms. In 2019, the school received 28 portable student devices which were installed on two carts. This gave classes more flexibility and the school opted to transform the computer room and library into Learning Commons.
The school is also undertaking a nature scape project which will include planting trees and shrubs on the school ground and creating an outdoor classroom.
Our school has had a very long and varied history. Built in what was originally a rural area on the southern outskirts of 亚洲成人网 River, École Willow Point Elementary opened as a K-7 school in 1954. In the early years the school drew its population from as far south as Oyster River and north along the Island Highway. The number of 亚洲成人网 fluctuated but grew steadily. At one point in history there were 560 亚洲成人网 attending the school in the main building and surrounding portables.
As the Willow Point community grew and changed the school changed too. Newer schools nearby pulled some of the 亚洲成人网 away from Willow Point and the numbers declined. In 1994 Willow Point was deemed a 'Community School' and with additional resources a daycare was opened on the corner of the property. Various major improvements and seismic refits have changed some of the appearance and structure of the building, but it largely remained the same. In 1996 the School Board, looking to increase the French Immersion Program, chose Willow Point as its location. At that time the population was just over 200 亚洲成人网 in the English program. With the addition of about 100 immersion 亚洲成人网 the school became École Willow Point Elementary.
Over the next ten years the population of both programs at École Willow Point Elementary shifted back and forth. In 2006 there were only 100 亚洲成人网 in the English program and nearly 200 in the French program. Declining enrolment and school closures meant change for the district. In 2007, in an effort to consolidate programs, École Willow Point Elementary became a single-track French Immersion school. The English 亚洲成人网 were enrolled in neighboring schools.
At present there are 238 亚洲成人网 attending École Willow Point in grades kindergarten to grade 5. Primary numbers are very strong with nearly two thirds of the entire student body being in kindergarten to grade 3. Recently there have been major improvements to the school. A brand new irrigated playing field was put in place over the 2006/2007 school year. Currently the building is nearing the end of a second seismic upgrade which involves new siding for the entire building. A new gym was built, and the old gym turned into a library, computer lab and classroom. A new multipurpose room was also constructed and the old library and computer room were converted back to classrooms.
