Programs and Services

Library Students visit the library to learn how to find and use information, do research, and borrow books. The library’s mission is “to develop information literate students who are lifelong learners through support of teachers, students and curriculum.” Hot Lunch Program (Munchalunch) Springwood Elementary lists a Hot Lunch Program (Munchalunch) as a school program. Student support / special education Qualicum School District describes an inclusive model where students are educated in regular classrooms and age-appropriate settings as much as possible, with in-class adaptations and accommodations when needed. Supports may include small-group/individual help, Learning Services teachers, school counsellors, educational assistants, and Child and Youth Care Workers, with access (through the school-based team) to district services such as speech-language pathology, psychology, hearing/vision support, and OT/PT.

Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here

Qualicum School District provides a bus system for travel between school and home/daycare, and families must apply each year using the district’s online Bus Application Form. Accepted riders receive route details through the My Ride K-12 website/app, and bus pass cards are mandatory (students may be refused transportation without a pass). The district sets walk limits (K–Grade 7: 3.2 km, with some school exceptions noted by the district) and outlines expectations for safe behavior at stops and on the bus; riding the bus is a privilege that can be suspended for inappropriate behavior.
