Programs and Services

**First Nations Principles of Learning** Willway lists “First Nations Principles of Learning” as a school program, highlighting an approach to learning connected to these principles. **Music / Choir** The music program focuses on four main areas: listening, reading, writing, and playing. Students learn to read/write/create melodies and rhythms, develop vocal skills (including posture and warm-ups), experience instruments by grade level, explore genres and musical history, and learn through play. The school also offers choir (noted as “Choir 2025”). **Library / Virtual Learning Commons** Families can access SD62’s Virtual Learning Library Commons (VLLC) for teachers, students, and caregivers. The teacher-librarian invites questions about the collection and borrowing, and notes that book donations in good condition are welcome.
