Givins/Shaw Junior Public School

Welcome to Givins/Shaw Jr Public School

Givins/Shaw Junior Public School is located just north of Queen Street between Ossington Avenue and Shaw Street and is the local community school to over 200 students.  Our school's original building dates back to the mid 1800's, having evolved over the centuries to its present location.

We are very proud of the inclusive and caring school culture that exists at Givins/Shaw where every student and parent/guardian voice matters and where all students and their families are welcome.
