History of École Lansdowne
Lansdowne school was built in 1954. By September, 1979, declining enrollment (137students) became an issue and school closure was considered.
Faced with the enrollment issue and new public demands for French Immersion and language programs, the Winnipeg School Board voted to close Lansdowne as of June 30, 1982. Their pupils were redirected to Robertson School.
École Lansdowne opened as the French Milieu school in August of 1984. The school population consisted of 88 students in Kindergarten through Grade 2. Soeur Dumesnil served as principal from 1984 -1987. In 1987 Maryse Mymin was appointed principal and she served in that capacity until 1998. Replacing Mme Mymin was Dolorès Hébert who served from 1998 until 2003. In 2002 because of increasing enrollment a vice-principal was appointed. Mme Chantelle Deslauriers-Gray arrived to our school from Ecole Stanley Knowles. With the retirement of Mme Hébert in June 2003, Mme Deslauriers-Gray became principal and M. Donald Teel from Ecole Garden Grove School became our new vice-principal. In May 2005, M. Teel became principal and Mme Smith, vice-principal while Mme Deslauriers-Gray is away on maternity leave. Enrollment is now 443 students from Nursery to Grade 8. In September 1994, the renovations and additions to the facility were completed.
We at Lansdowne proudly celebrate our twenty-second anniversary as an immersion school.
