Pink Shirt Day
Pink shirt day was February 22nd. Students were asked to wear pink in support of anti-bullying. This was one part of PINKCLUSION Friendship week Feb. 21-24, organized by the Anti-bullying club. If a teacher or a member of the Anti-Bullying club saw an act of inclusion, kindness, or friendliness to someone who really could use it, they would recognize the student with a Pink Card. Examples of these acts could be sitting with someone new, making a new friend, talking to someone new, helping someone or standing up for someone who is being teased or bullied. These acts can occur in the classroom, halls, cafeteria, library, etc... All Pink Cards were then be handed into a box in the office. At the end of the week, we did a prize draw and recognized some of these positive acts on the PA announcements. In addition, to raise awareness around being an inclusive community, students from the Anti-bullying club organized a flash mob in the cafeteria. Click HERE to view the video.
Student Learning Survey 2022/2023
The Provincial Student Learning Survey is unique in its scope, size, and usefulness to schools. It gathers information from parents/guardians/caregivers, teachers, and students on topics related to school environment, safety, and achievement. The information is used for planning in individual schools and provides a district and provincial perspective.
Parents/guardians/caregivers will be able to access their own version of the survey. We encourage parents/guardians/caregivers to participate in this survey, as the results are important in identifying and celebrating current strengths, as well as determining where the school needs to focus improvement. The surveys contain standard questions for the Province – in addition, questions from the school and/or district that focus on local conditions or issues may be included.
The survey can be completed electronically and can be accessed on the Internet at http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sat_survey. Any computer with an Internet connection can be used, and access to the e-survey is simple and secure. The survey can be accessed through the link without an anonymous logon code by selecting the school district and school name where your child attends school. Provincial, District and School Reports for previous years can be viewed at the same site under the Results section.
The e-survey site will be open until April 29th.
If you have any questions, please contact Shauna Underwood (Vice-Principal) at the school at 604-713-8950.
