Welcome to Dunning!

At Dunning Elementary School, we take pride in fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment where every child is valued and celebrated. Guided by our mascot, Bamboo, we promote Panda Pride and uphold our core values of being Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn. Through enriching programs such as Care and Share, ESL, SAGE, and after-school activities like the Running Club and Art Club, we empower students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our vibrant community comes together for annual events like Art Night, the Sweetheart Dance, and the Grade Four State Fair, all while encouraging a lifelong love of learning.
