Welcome to Listowel Central Public School

Welcome to Listowel Central Public School - an exciting place to be!
Listowel Central is a Kindergarten to Grade Eight School located a few blocks north of downtown Listowel. We have a population of over 360 students and a staff of 30 talented and dedicated members. Our school team works together to provide an atmosphere where children can grow in a caring learning environment.
Listowel Central has a growing and eager School Council. These individuals contribute a great deal to our school community through their support of many facets of our educational experiences.  Thanks to their efforts, our students and other children in the community now have a wonderful new playground to enjoy.  We appreciate their support and certainly benefit from their expertise, energy, and commitment. 
We offer many extra-curricular activities, thanks to our staff and volunteers, which provide opportunities for students to get involved in the school. We offer a full range of athletic activities during our nutrition breaks, and our school teams often practice after school. All of our school teams performed extremely well in competitions over the past year.  We also had a skipping demonstration team that traveled to other schools to share their expertise and enthusiasm.  We are also very proud of our excellent music and drama programs, which usually culminate in public performances, which always receive great reviews. We have an active Student Council which runs many Spirit Days, clubs and events for the students throughout the year.  Our Me-to-We team of students worked with our students to raise money to help local people, as well as those in developing nations.  They also helped to raise awareness about the needs of others.  We encourage all of our students to be active and get involved.

This year we will continue to focus on strengthening student achievement in numeracy and literacy, especially in the area of writing.  We also continue to emphasize character development so that practicing positive character traits becomes “what we do”, daily.  
We continue to build our volunteer program because volunteers can help support the success of our students.  There are plenty of opportunities for volunteers, such as reading with a student, supervising a class trip, helping with fundraising, delivering pizza lunches or serving in the breakfast program.  This year, we are trying to implement a universal snack program several days a week, to ensure that everyone has had a healthy snack during the day.  If you think you can help with any of these programs, please call us.  We would love to have you on our team!
Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or administrative staff if you have any questions or concerns.
