Indigenous education priorities for 2025/26
Â鶹´«Ã½s would like to thank and recognize the Qayqayt First Nation and all Coast Salish peoples. We live, learn, play, and work on their traditional lands.
This year, we’re focusing on:
- Making sure Indigenous voices are part of important decisions.
- Building strong connections between schools and Indigenous communities.
- Helping the Indigenous Education Team support students in learning, well-being, culture, and spirit.
- Working to help more Indigenous students graduate.
- Partnering with the Indigenous Education Council.
We will do this by:
- Supporting learning experiences that reflect and respect the diverse cultures in our community.
- Helping students move smoothly into school, between grades, and into post-secondary education.
- Creating a strong sense of belonging for students and staff by making schools safe, inclusive and welcoming.
- Working with community partners to build stronger supports for students.
- Giving staff the tools, training and support they need to grow their teaching and create inclusive classrooms.
