I was born and raised in Canada and lived here for my entire life and I have NEVER heard the term public school in place of non-private school for grades K-7. It was always elementary school.
It's only used if you are talking about, 'Hey did you go to private school?'
'No, I went to public school.'

Only if your invited date was a Grade 11'er.
At my grad dinner, it was you, your date and your parents. And then the after-grad was woo hoo, get down!
But we had parents there at the party to chaperone and yes, booze was served out in the open (this was a non-religious private school grad, by the way)
