At Edward Murphy, we are proud that our students do much more than attend classes. Through activities, events, and shared experiences, they learn, grow, and take part in the life of the school community.
Every six weeks, students in each class are selected to present an original piece of writing in front of their peers and parents. This is an opportunity for students to showcase their writing talents, strengthen their speaking skills, and build confidence.
Edward Murphy School is privileged to participate in the Heart of the City Piano Program. Students are selected by school staff based on need and enthusiasm. They receive weekly 30-minute private lessons with McGill volunteer teachers during lunch hour or after school. At the end of each session, a recital takes place at the McGill Strathcona Music Building.
Edward Murphy School, in partnership with the Montreal Police Department, encourages students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 to commit to rejecting violence and expressing themselves through the Unité sans violence program.
Members of Unité sans violence are ambassadors for non-violence in the school. They meet with other students to talk about the program, wear special t-shirts, and hand out reward vouchers to students whose behaviour promotes peace.
