Our Staff
Our dedicated staff of approximately 35 professionals includes teachers, educational assistants, early childhood educators, custodians, office administrators and the administrative team. They all work together in a professional learning community directed at promoting academic excellence for every student. Additional staff expertise in Special Education, computers, athletics and music further enrich the learning experience of our students.
Our staff members continually upgrade their skills by attending summer courses, school, board and ministry initiative workshops and seminars and other professional development opportunities. Our school community also benefits from the services of a Library Technician.
Our Community
We are proud of the level of parent participation at Fallingbrook. We have a School Council and a Parent Teacher Council (PTC) which provide opportunities for parents and teachers to work together in order to improve the social and academic programs for all students.
For the past 34 years, PTC fund-raising has enabled us to enhance the curriculum by purchasing early literacy books, library bookshelves, audio visual equipment, media carts and projectors, climbers, physical education equipment, an electronic scoreboard, stage lighting for the gymnasium and True Sport banners.
