Principal's Message

Principal's Message

Welcome to Oakridge Junior Public School, part of the Samuel Hearne and Oakridge Community, a proud K - 4 TDSB school. At Oakridge, we (i.e. staff, parents, community partners) are committed to providing a quality education for all students. We offer rich and diverse programming and experiences that assist in preparing students for future societal challenges, new technologies and a world that requires critical thinking, problem-solving and an authentic interconnectedness.

I feel privileged and grateful to have the opportunity to be the principal of such an amazing and diverse school community. Oakridge JPS has a strong focus on Early Years learning, cultivating the essential skills in numeracy and literacy that build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. 

I am very fortunate to be the principal of a fantastic school that consists of vibrant students, a dynamic staff that deeply cares about the wellbeing and success of students and their parents, and strong parent and community partnerships.

I look forward to continually working with our students, staff, parents and community partners. 

Ms. Samantha Gillan
