The Walter E. Harris school community is a safe and caring one with a focus on academics, safety and character education. The school team works collaboratively to emphasize success for each student. Students begin the French Immersion program in grade one, and are taught in French 100% of the time throughout the primary years. From grades four to eight, half the curriculum is taught in French while the other half is taught in English. The Walter E. Harris staff is committed to delivering strong academic programs focused on literacy and numeracy and to providing opportunities for students to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to become successful, lifelong learners. We work collaboratively with the community to achieve our mission statement, “A unique and caring experience” / “Me tient a coeur”.
The O'Neill area of Oshawa is an established community, near the wide variety of businesses and restaurants in the downtown area. The neighbourhood also includes many parks and trails.
