Preeceville Nursery School

The Preeceville Nursery School is located in the Preeceville Rec. Center and run by a Parent Board. For the 2008-2009 school year Mrs. Lori Newton has a total of 20 students ages 3 and 4. There are two classes and they meet every Tuesday from 9am - 11am and from 1pm - 3pm. Drop-in students are welcome with a cost of $10/day. To be a drop-in student you would have to be 3 years old by December 31, 2008.

The Nursery School uses fundraisers to help keep enrolment fees down. Watch for Mom's Pantry Products and the His & Hers Basket Raffle and support your local Nursery School.

With the help of the local Lion's and Lioness Clubs they have been able to purchase school supplies, and gym equipment for the children. Also a fresh new coat of paint is on the walls and a nice new floor, the nursery school is really grateful for the new look.

The Nursery School curriculum incorporates play, imagination, fieldtrips and learning centers as preparation for Kindergarten.

Preeceville School

The Town of Preeceville has a Kindergarten to Grade 12 School with an enrolment of 254 students.  The school offers many extra curricular activities and after school sports such as soccer, basketball, badminton, volleyball, and football. In addition to the regular academic subjects, the high school offers electives such as driver education, band, and home economics.  In the 2007-2008 school year, the school incorporated a new school day. The school day begins at 8:55am with the morning bell and ends at 3:00pm with the dismissal bell. Lunch is now from 12:10pm – 12:40pm. The elementary students still get two 15 minute recesses in a day, while the high school students get none.

If you walk the halls and classrooms of Preeceville School you will be in awe. There is wireless internet throughout the school. Near the main entrance of the School there are two video screens that show the day’s activities, the week’s activities, some pictures of past events in the school. The information on these two screens comes from PowerPoint presentations which are made in the computer lab, and put onto the main computer. Each classroom is now equipped with a laptop computer and a SMART board. A SMART board is a touch-sensitive display that connects to your computer and digital projector to show your computer image. You can then control computer applications directly from the display, write notes in digital ink and even save your work to share later. If you can use a computer you can use a SMART Board.

Another technological feature that the school wants to get more into is voice recognition technology. This enables the teacher to teach with a microphone, and the words that the teacher says will appear on the screen in a word document. This is helpful for students who are hard of hearing, and for students who learn by visual learning. 

We would also like to take this time to congratulate our Sr. Panther Football team on a job well done and making it all the way to the Provincial game. Even though you did not come home with the gold, you still came home a winner in our books. Congratulations on your silver place finish, you boys deserved it.
