About Us
With deep gratitude and respect, we are honoured to be learning and unlearning on the ancestral and unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) & səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation).
Dr. Annie B. Jamieson Elementary School is located just south of Oakridge at 6350 Tisdall Street, adjacent to Tisdall Park. A seismic upgrade was completed in November of 2018.
Our school enrolled approximately 508 students for the 2023-24 school year. Twenty-seven languages are spoken at Jamieson with Mandarin Chinese being the most predominant first language of our ELL students. Jamieson is home to an award-winning Strings Program, which has received consecutive accolades from the CBC Canadian Music Challenge dating back to 2016. Strings is provided through our school prep schedule to Grade 4-7 students. Approximately 265 Jamieson students participate in the program.
Jamieson has a staff of 53 who are committed to fostering a safe and caring environment for our students. They are dedicated to supporting student academic growth and achievement and overall wellbeing. Our school resource teachers work collaboratively with classroom teachers to support student learning needs. In addition, Jamieson staff are committed to working with parents as partners in education and connect regularly, both formally and informally, to support student learning and growth.
Jamieson offers a range of sports and extra-curricular activities. This year, we had Junior and Senior Basketball, Badminton, Cross Country, Volleyball, Soccer and Track and Field. We also have other activities focused on social responsibility and leadership, including the Jamieson Playground Buddies (intermediate student helpers), Library Monitors, Student Announcers, Lunch Buddies (intermediate student helpers) and School Safety Patrol (crosswalk).
Jamieson has a strong and actively engaged Parent Advisory Council (PAC). Many parents volunteer to support a variety of activities such as field trips, our hot lunch program, and other special events at our school. The PAC funded our school mural, which was installed in 2023, next to our school garden. The PAC runs a hot lunch program three days a week to raise funds to support programs offered at the school.
The Jamieson School Code of Conduct is based on Respect: Respect for Self, Respect for Others, Respect for the Community. Our code of conduct is embedded into our school planning, school culture and school activities.
