About Us
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, dynamic, and committed teachers to join our team at Bells Corners Public School.
Bells Corners PS is a K-6 school located in Nepean. We have a great variety of programs: middle French immersion, primary and junior Language Learning Disability (LLD), and primary Behaviour Intervention Program (BIP). Bells Corners is focused on creating a place where staff and students feel like they belong. We have recently done work with the Third Path and Random Acts of Kindness. We focus on connection and relationships to build community. Staff work hard together to help students grow. We view our families and community members as great partners in our work. We have an active School Council who support a variety of resources, learning opportunities, and school improvements. For the upcoming school year, we will be continuing to work as a team to dive deeper into culturally responsive pedagogy and reading instruction. We have a diverse staff from diverse backgrounds which is our strength. We encourage staff to use their talents, interests, and experiences to create unique learning opportunities for students in and outside of the classroom.
Ideal candidates will support the fulfillment of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Boards (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.
