Programs and Services
**Counselling** The school counselling program provides consulting, coordinating, counselling, and educational services to students, parents, teachers, and administrators. Support focuses on social, emotional, and developmental needs, and includes crisis response, parent and staff consultation, and teacher in-service. **Library** Each class has weekly library time to borrow books and learn literacy skills with the teacher-librarian. The library uses an automated system for overdue notices, and borrowing may be paused until overdue items are returned or fines are paid. **Athletics and extracurricular sports** **Clubs** Eco Kids is run at lunch by the noon hour supervisor. Students help keep the playground and forest free of litter and are recognized at the end of the year. **Early learning (StrongStart BC – nearby)** StrongStart BC is a free, drop-in early learning program for children ages 0–5 with a parent/caregiver. The closest StrongStart is located at Mundy Road Elementary School and is facilitated by a qualified early childhood educator in a play-based environment (e.g., stories, music, dramatic play, art) to support children’s development and readiness for kindergarten.
