Island View School

Island View has several facilities that serve to enhance learning at the school. A full sized gymnasium with a stage allows for regularly scheduled physical education classes for all children, community basketball and soccer programs, parent information sessions, theatrical presentations and musical productions. The school's 9500 volume library off... ers children ample reading resources and serves as an excellent location for regularly scheduled library periods, our reading buddies program, and noon hour reading program. As part of its Technology Plan, Island View has incorporated the use of Smart Board technology into the teaching/learning process. All classes have this technology. As an early adopter school for the Province's NB3-21C Learning Agenda, students will be using net books to enhance and support their learning. Island View has a community computer center in the school library. Through the hard work of a dedicated board of directors consisting of parent volunteers, the center celebrated its grand opening in early May 2001. The Island View School Community Computer Center (IVSC3) offers an after school computer camp for K-5 children, and children's programs during the Christmas Holidays, March Break and Summer Vacation. Details about the center's programs may be obtained by calling 674-2095. Island View is very fortunate to have a music room, which is used for choir and violin practices as well as for music classes. Common areas in each wing of the school have afforded teachers the opportunity to plan together in teams and to combine classes for special presentations and activities. A full size athletic field is well used, particularly for track and field, cross-country running, soccer jamborees, Physical Education classes, and our June Fun Day sponsored by the Home and School Association.Read More
