Welcome to another exciting year at Brownridge PS! On behalf of the entire BPS community, I want to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year.  I am confident that whether you are a returning family, or if you are new to the community, that this school year will be one that is filled with success, personal growth and the meeting of one’s goals and dreams.

At Brownridge Public School, we are strongly committed to providing a challenging and engaging learning environment focused on individualized programming, with the goal of raising student achievement and well-being.  We are strongly committed to ensuring we have a welcoming, safe and inclusive learning environment for all.  Our deep-rooted commitment to ensuring everyone feels welcomed, valued, heard, and cared for is the foundation of our decision-making and programming, and we will continue to work hard to ensure that Brownridge is always a safe and positive space for learning.   

As a staff we are invested in the success of all learners, and it is our goal to support our students as they engage in all areas of the Ontario Curriculum as critical thinkers. We believe that it is important for our students to develop strong critical thinking skills, with an awareness that this must be paired with effective work habits and skills such as collaboration, communication and reflection.  As a staff, we place an emphasis on developing the whole-child, and will work with our learners to foster a growth mindset, an open-minded approach and stance, and to be respectful of others' ideas and opinions. Our theme for the 2024-2025 school year is “It Matters”. As a school, we will develop an understanding that our words and actions matter and have impact; how we treat others matters, how we believe in ourselves matters, and how we approach new experiences and challenges matters. We can do anything as long as we believe in ourselves and understand that what we do matters.

At Brownridge Public School, we believe in a strong partnership between home, school and the community. As your partner in education, I look forward to getting to know each family, so that I can serve the community in personalized ways.  I look forward to working with you throughout the year and strongly encourage you to contact your children's​ teachers or the office should you have any questions or concerns.​

As always, I wish you all a safe and successful school year.

Your proud principal,

Julia Waiser​​​​​​​​​​
