MAA-NULTH TREATY DAY — APRIL 1
Congratulations to the Kyuquot-Checleset First Nations on the anniversary of the signing of the MAA-NULTH Treaty!
Several events were held at the school to help commemorate this important date in Kyuquot-Checleset and Canadian history.
Thanks to the students and to Dr. David Dowling for organizing this event.
Ha-Shilth-Sa, Canada’s oldest First Nations newspaper is planning to include the picture, above, in their next issue.
Kyuquot Elementary/Secondary Aboriginal Education Steering Committee (KAESC)
The Kyuquot Elementary/Secondary Aboriginal Education Steering Committee (KAESC) exists to support the community and the school to work together more closely and provide a means of the school accessing advice from the community on matters pertinent to the education of Kyuquot youth. It is a very important committee, as the faculty and staff need input from parents and community members, especially in relation to aboriginal education and decolonization of education.
Our next meeting is Tuesday, April 12, at 7 PM POSTPONED, New date and time TBA
The primary issue currently being considered is Student Participation.
- This is important to us because every student has a right to a safe and effective learning environment.
- Teachers have observed, and hardworking students have complained to the school, that some students do not participate in class in a manner that supports effective learning
- The students who do participate adequately, do well, but often receive negative responses from the ones who don’t. Refusals to participate in group discussions and activities are constant. Distractions such as off topic questions, materials being thrown about the classroom and other subtle and deliberate efforts to derail learning activities are common. Committed students state they cannot learn in these conditions.
- This unrest in the classroom caused by students who are not committed to learning creates an unworkable education environment that prohibits success for every student.
A question we are curious about is,
“What actions would the community support that would help us preserving a safe and effective learning environment?”
Please come! Help us better understand student participation! Contact the office or principal, Marty Szetela (mszetela@viw.sd84.bc.ca) if you would like more information.
