The students at Harrison P.S. have a wide variety of extra-curricular programs available to them throughout the school year. The numerous activities, clubs, teams, and performances offer students plenty of opportunity to enhance skills and engage in social interaction.

Harrison prides itself not only in offering intramural sports leagues, interscholastic athletics teams and sports technique programs, but also in offering interest groups that delve into the arts and sciences.

Cross Country Running, Soccer, Bordenball, Basketball, Track & Field, Ultimate Disc and Eco Team, are among the many programs organized and operated by school staff.

We also offer a number of after-school programs delivered by outside providers. Such programs delve into the arts, physical sports and otherwise engage student creativity.

Harrison Public School is fortunate to have a number of interactive whiteboards at our school as well as some document cameras. Chromebooks and tablets are made accessible to every student at the school for interactive learning, research use and assignments.  Additionally, students and staff have access to some robotics equipment such as Dash and Dot robots as well as Ozobots.
 

Staff and students are continuing to learn to incorporate a variety of technological devices into effective learning tools.  Along this vein, we are exploring STEM education.

STEM is a transdiciplinary approach to inquiry and problem-based learning that fosters collaboration, creativity and innovation in all students. It is applying skills, behaviours and knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to solve complex, real-world problems.

Harrison Public School has two ASD classes including Primary and Junior students with autism placed via the Central IPRC process.  Intensive support is provided for the students' individualized programs from the classroom teacher and the educational assistant/child youth worker as well as from an occupational therapist and a speech and language consultant.  The students in our Intensive Support Programs classes participate in many of our school activities, integrated in various subject areas and assemblies.
