Celebrating Our Exhibition Night – “Teachings of our Animal Relatives”
Thank you to everyone who came out to our Exhibition Night last night. Teachings of our Animal Relatives was a wonderful celebration of student learning and community connection. It was wonderful to see students, staff, families, and community members come together to share and honour the work that has been happening in our classrooms.
A special thank you goes to Brodie, whose vision, planning, and dedication helped bring this event to life. The evening reflected a great deal of care and hard work. Well done, Brodie.
We would also like to recognize Ye’w Yews class, who presented their thoughtful animal projects as well. It was great to see students proudly sharing their learning and the teachings connected to our animal relatives.

STUDENT LEARNING SURVEY
This spring we will be conducting a Student Learning Survey for students in grades 4, 7, 10, 11 and 12 and Parents. The information we gather from this survey is used to develop our School Improvement Plan and helps us make data driven decisions in the best interest of our students.
Student Learning Survey - gr. 4, 7, 10, 11, 12 (administered in class)
What: The survey covers a range of topics, providing a comprehensive picture of the educational experience in B.C. public schools. Questions were developed with input from partner groups, teachers and experts in educational measurement and inclusive education.
Why: Schools, districts, government ministries and other external organizations such as the Representative for Children and Youth use the survey data for planning, research and advocacy work for youth. Feedback from participants provides valuable insight for addressing current needs and trends. Survey results are used as a part of the School Improvement Plan
