Our Students
Broadview currently has about 1040 students (JK-Grade 8). We are considered a community school for the JK-6 students. Our Grades 7 and 8 students come from the broader community, and from several feeder schools, and comprise almost one-third of the student population. Upon leaving Broadview, most students attend Nepean H.S. (right next door), while others go to Canterbury, Lisgar, Bell, Woodroffe, Merivale or Sir Guy Carleton.
Our Staff
The 95 staff members at Broadview include teaching staff, educational assistants, office staff, early childhood educators, custodial staff, and a library technician. We are supported centrally by a psychologist, social worker, as well as a speech and language pathologist. The staff is a blend of experienced teachers and those who are relatively new to the profession. It includes many specialists who have had previous careers and work experience which greatly enriches their teaching. Our support staff members are all highly qualified individuals who work as members of various teams to ensure that the school plant and student and school systems function effectively, and to enable our students to access support that will enhance their learning.
Our Community
Broadview Public School families represent a rich diversity of people, drawing from a variety of Ottawa Centre/Ottawa West communities. The many families who are new to Canada or to Ottawa help to create a stimulating social and cultural environment for our students. Our parent volunteers are a valued and integral part of school life at Broadview. The School Council sets up and executes a variety of enriching activities and events for student participation. They also efficiently run several very productive fund-raising efforts, such as the Dance-a-thon and the spring Book Bonanza where students, staff and parents have the opportunity to buy books at great prices. Volunteers participate in many student activities, including arts initiatives, sports days, field trips, classroom assistance, presentations, workshops, the ski program, choirs, and much more.
