     Welcome to the Burkevale Elementary School website.  This site will provide all the information you will need to get to know the “home of the bulldogs” better.  The interactive nature of this site allows Burkevale families the opportunity to more effectively participate in the education of their children.  The website is updated regularly to keep the Burkevale community informed of current and upcoming events.

     Burkevale Protestant Separate School is a unique and dynamic learning environment, with a historic involvement in the Town of Penetanguishene, on the shore of Georgian Bay, in Ontario Canada, that dates back to the 19th century.  Its continued relevance is due to a successful partnership between a variety of stakeholders who work together in the best interest of the children.  The Burkevale staff is hard-working, caring and creative. The parents and guardians are actively involved as volunteers within the school, and on the School Council, which organizes a variety of events and fundraisers which enhance the school climate and provide funds for different educational activities and outings.  The School Board provides significant support to the staff and students at Burkevale, and individuals and organizations within the local community help enrich our school environment. 

     I am honoured to be the principal of Burkevale Protestant Separate School as we begin the 2009 – 2010 school year.  The staff and I encourage you to visit our school to offer volunteer services and to attend planned activities and events.  We look forward to your involvement in the learning process.  Together, we can make a difference!

Sincerely,

Tim Mallon, Principal

As we near the end of January, it is anything but hot outside.  When the temperature dips below -15, or worse as it did today, I’ll usually keep the children indoors on recess.  However, occasionally I’ll let them out for a short time just to burn off some energy.  Whether the weather is sunny or cloudy, cold or hot, dry or wet, when I announce whether the recess will be indoors or not,  a cheer erupts throughout the school, no matter what the decision.  In February, the big weather news will be the Winter Olympics, held in Vancouver.  Burkevale will celebrate the winter weather and sportsmanship as well, by holding our own Burkevale Olympics.  Outdoor s, our Opening Ceremonies and Torch Run will occur on February 12th, with our Olympic Games occurring on the 18th.  It should be a lot of fun and something the whole school is looking forward to.

As December approaches, the First Term has ended and Parent-Teacher interviews are about to happen.  The information shared in these interviews is vital to ensuring the success of our students.  The beginning of a new term is a fresh start for those students who need to “turn it around.”  Health- wise, the school has survived the “second wave” of the H1N1 virus, relatively unscathed.   As we continue to enjoy spring-like weather, we know winter conditions are just around the corner.  But rather than worry about the impending snowstorms and drop in temperatures, Burkevale staff and students are ready and willing to adapt:  classes have begun to go on skating excursions, the school has a new set of snowshoes that classes are eager to try out, and the whole school looks forward to our annual cross-country and downhill ski trips.  Will we miss the warmer weather? Perhaps.  But winter ….”bring it on!”
