Pierre Berton P.S. Touchstone
At Pierre Berton Public School, we are guided by a carefully crafted touchstone that inspires positive decision-making every day. This touchstone was developed through a thoughtful process, incorporating valuable input from students, staff, and parents. Our Student Leadership Team diligently identified common themes and ideas to create this unifying symbol, which is prominently displayed at our school entrance, in our gym, and throughout our classrooms.
At Pierre Berton, our smiles ignite others to feel welcome.
Together we walk the road of success, living up to and exceeding expectations.
We are all treated equitably no matter our beliefs and abilities.
We value our differences.
We speak to each other with kind and supportive words.
Searching for sparks of light, we choose to look on the bright side of situations.
Win or lose we stand together and keep our heads held high.
We contribute to our community without need of reward or recognition.
When mistakes happen, we take ownership of our choices.
We are green as green can be; respectful of our community.
We achieve our goals by taking risks and believing in ourselves.
Our school is safe and bully-free; everyone belongs here.
We are strong. We are proud. We never retreat.
We are Panthers. It's how we roll!
School Song

Writing the Pages of our Future
As we open the doors to our school
Many possibilities
Waiting there to be discovered
Just wait and see
Thinking, persevering and acheiving
To the best of our abilities
Hand in hand we work together
At Pierre Berton Public School
We are writing the pages of our future
Learning from those of the past
Growing, creating and sharing
Leaving a story that lasts
For we are writing the pages of our future
Dreaming and feeling so free
Together we are on a journey
Believing in who we can be
