Welcome to 2023! We have had a great first half to the school year, culminating in winter concerts and activities across our families of schools, and a celebration of Indigenous winter teachings in Aboriginal Education. 

We’ve also seen staff and students return this month eager to embark on the new year’s learning journey. That journey will include several changes to our school leadership, and you can read more about those exciting changes in this report.  

Our SD8 senior leadership team and staff are also supporting the Board of Education as they begin work on a new, five-year strategic plan. A public consultation process will get underway this month, so watch our website, local media, social media, school emails and PAC meetings for more information about how you can participate.

But first, I hope you can take some time to reflect on the year that was 2022 and enjoy the images of winter concerts and learning activities in this report as we move through winter together.

Happy New Year!

Trish
