History
Fairwood P.S. opened its doors in 2001, and over the years, students, staff, and the community have created a culture of excellence, engagement, and inclusivity. Students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 participate in a wide range of activities, including sports teams, grand-scale musical productions, reading and chess clubs, robotics competitions, and fund raising campaigns for cancer research and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. At the heart of what we do is a focus on learning and a commitment to ensuring that all children receive the caring, expert support they need to reach their potential for social, emotional, and academic growth.
