The school enrols approximately 500 students.  16 languages are spoken by families in the Jamieson community including: English, Tagalog, Cantonese, Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese, Persian, Iranian, Somali and Romanian.  The most dominating language (outside of English) reflected in the demographics of the Jamieson community is Mandarin.  About 45% of the students have a home language that reflects usage other than or additional to English, with approximately 35% of students receiving English language support.  In terms of gender representation the student population is divided into 241 boys and 234 girls. 

There is strong parent support for school and Parent Advisory Council initiatives.  The PAC leads fund-raising initiatives to support Jamieson’s diverse school programs and to enrich learning experiences for students, while maintaining opportunities in the area of fine arts, athletics and technology.  Our PAC sponsored school lunch program that is held three times a week, focuses on food offerings that meet the provincial standards for healthy foods.

Currently, Jamieson has the largest elementary Strings Program in the district.  Approximately 260 intermediate students participate in the Strings Program.  There is a strong performance component tied to the Strings program.  

Jamieson School offers a range of sports and extra-curricular activities.  In addition to our regular physical education classes, extra-curricular sporting activities for intermediate students often includes: Cross Country, Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Field and sometimes Badminton and Ultimate Frisbee.

Other extra-curricular opportunities are available for our senior students. These options focus on social responsibility and leadership and include: Playground Leaders (peer helpers), Spirit Team, Library Monitors and Student Announcers.
