Our School Profile

The first Winnipeg Beach School was situated over the Robinson store. The actual first school building was constructed in 1906 at the corners of Gimli Road and Robinson Avenue. In 1929 two additions (18 feet on each end of the school) were built, with electricity being added in 1940. A new two story school was completed in 1949 which “included fire escapes and concrete walls”.

The present Winnipeg Beach School opened its doors in 1999 and currently operates from Kindergarten to Grade Seven. The library, music room and gymnasium are part of the old building, with the wing housing the classrooms being all new construction.

We have certainly come a long way from the “ice blocks for water and coal for heat” days.

The enrollment at Winnipeg beach School is currently 158 students with 21 staff members.
