Welcome to Lillian Berg Public School
Lillian Berg is a small community school located in beautiful Vermilion Bay on the shores of Eagle Lake. We offer Kindergarten to Grade 8 programming.
Lillian Berg School’s playground is set in a wooded area where students can take advantage of their natural surroundings and take their learning outdoors. We have two Forest Classrooms that allow our students to have a unique opportunity to explore the environment through inquiry based learning to gain a richer and deeper understanding of how we connect with nature. Technology plays an important role at Lillian Berg School and is used as a learning tool in our classrooms. Students are equipped with laptops, iPads and Chromebooks to prepare them for success in a dynamic, technology intensive 21st century.
Our teachers believe in educating the “whole child” and are committed to using authentic and hands on learning opportunities as well as our natural outdoor environment to help promote problem solving, curiosity and a love of learning.
Our school community is important at Lillian Berg. We host a variety of school wide events such as a Thanksgiving dinner and several Christmas events, including our annual Christmas concert. We attend the Remembrance Day ceremony at our local cenotaph and host a school wide talent show where the community is welcome to come and watch the fun! We have an important and dedicated group of volunteers who help with the hot lunch program, the breakfast program, and the NOW program, delivering healthy and nutritious lunches and snacks for our students.
We are a tight-knit group here at Lillian Berg and look forward to welcoming new families!
Our Awesome Programs!
LBS Forest School
At the Lillian Berg Forest and Nature School, children do a lot of the activities they might do in a traditional education environment, but they do them all outdoors. The open-ended play and learning happens outside, where kids can learn by counting mushrooms, observing plants, or lifting up rocks just to see what’s living underneath them.
Students are encouraged, through interaction with nature, to learn and develop socially; to be physically active and emotionally fit; to develop self-confidence; to learn respect for their neighbourhoods and environments; and to enjoy nature in safe and age-appropriate ways.
Children allowed to explore freely, in ever-changing natural environments, are going to have to get creative with play and use their problem-solving skills to deal with weather, natural barriers, and other factors of the outdoors.
Library & Makerspace
Lillian Berg School Library is a sanctuary for book lovers and knowledge seekers, and inspires the passion of reading and exploring! Towards the back of the library, you will find our neatly organized Makerspace. This is where our students’ ideas come to life, and is a perfect playground for builders, creators and inventors alike!
Nutrition on Weekends & Student Nutrition Program
The NOW and SNP Programs are offered in partnership with the Northwestern Health Unit. These programs provide free healthy food options that are accessible to students both in school and at home.

Leadership Club
Student Leaders who are interested in running a club are asked to submit a proposal, create a lesson plan and posters, and run their clubs with high expectations. This is a great opportunity for students to hone their leadership skills!
Hot Lunch
We are very luck at Lillian Berg School to have a great group of volunteers who offer beautiful home cooked meals for our students. The Hot Lunch Program is offered every Thursday during lunch break, and they can be purchased via School Cash Online.
Skating @ the Woodland Arena
We are very fortunate at Lillian Berg School to have the Woodland Arena right next door for students. Staff & students utilize the beautiful facility throughout the winter months. If your child is in need of skates and a helmet, we have plenty of equipment to go around!
