The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is the largest school board in Eastern Ontario and offers students and parents a world of choice for learning. Our nearly 150 schools offer a wide range of programs to promote learning excellence and meet the individual needs of students, parents, and the community at large. Our schools are teaching communities where principals, vice-principals, teachers and support staff nurture student well-being and challenge students to achieve their best.

We are seeking creative, agile, and committed teachers to join our team at Metcalfe Public School.

Metcalfe Public School has a strong and long-standing tradition of dedication to student success in the Osgoode Township area. Many of our families have attended this school for generations. Our focus is on preparing our students to be contributing citizens in our society. Metcalfe P.S. has an enrollment of just under 300 students, 50% of which are in the Intermediate panel and come to our school from Metcalfe P.S., as well as our feeder schools, Greely E.S., and Osgoode P.S. Many of our students come from strong agricultural roots, participating in 4H Clubs and the Metcalfe Fair annually. A recent trend is the arrival of new neighbours looking for tranquil rural life. We are now a triple track school and include the following programs: English, Early French Immersion, as well as Middle French Immersion. We support all students regardless of program choice and strive to provide students with a quality education based on current and sound pedagogy in a secure and caring learning environment.

Ideal candidates will support the fulfillment of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s (OCDSB) Strategic Plan to enhance the quality of education in the school, and the District, by creating a positive and inclusive school climate, learning and workplace environment. Candidates will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills,



a demonstrated ability to work collaboratively and respectfully, with a human rights and equity perspective, to foster student success, achievement and well-being.
