Mission Statement
“Within a positive, safe, inclusive environment, Fielding Drive Public School will provide programs which strive to meet the needs of all students by fostering the development of personal values, by building skills and knowledge, and by promoting responsibility for one’s own lifelong learning.”
Our School
Fielding Drive Public School, a sprawling brick bungalow surrounded by spacious grounds, is nestled in a residential area near Mooney’s Bay. Opened in 1969 as an open concept K-8 school, the open areas had walls added to form more traditional classrooms. In 1988, Fielding became a middle school for Grades 4-8. A creative program delivery model reflects the staff’s dynamic, exciting, and collaborative approach to education.
At Fielding, we strive to create a family-like climate where the Fielding staff, students, and parents show genuine care and commitment for each other. Within this supportive and stimulating environment, all students are encouraged to do their best to reach their potential.
Facilities include a library that is equipped with English and French resources, two gymnasiums, and special subject classrooms for science, design and technology, drama, art, and instrumental music.
