History

Walter Moberly Elementary School was first constructed in 1912 at its current site at Khalsa Diwan Rd and East 59th Avenue. The school was named after Walter Moberly, an engineer and surveyor for the Canadian Pacific Survey.

In 1945, the school burned down. It was rebuilt the following year in 1946. An addition of a second gymnasium, 10 classrooms and offices were added to the west side of Moberly in 1999.

Song

Moberly has brought us together,
Yes, Moberly is why we are here,
And when we work in harmony
We come together as one.
 
This is an open invitation,
For every one of you,
To be a part of this celebration,
That's why we share the news. (Chorus)
 
We know the magic is within us,
And the power too,
Reach for the stars and try your best now.
It's really up to you..... (Chorus)
