This school has been sold by its division so the records were no longer available, however it is identical to Heritage School, both in a distinctive style with obvious clues; it was closed in 1986 and is now the Winnipeg Police Academy
Two storeys of grey brick are regularly punctuated with large twinned windows further highlighted with white header panels on the three sides; darker brown brick gives emphasis to the main entrance on the north side
Triangular hoods cover light wells over the four staircases at the front and rear of the building; these project several metres off the otherwise flat roof and together form the most distinctive feature of the former school
Although it shares a huge site with two other school buildings and a community club, all landscaping has been removed from around this building, possibly for security, leaving it rather high and stark on its berm
