Within the Indigenous Education Department, our main priority is to support Indigenous students in a way that honours their identity, strengths, and unique journeys. We recognize that every student is supported by a circle of people who care for them, and that meaningful learning and wellbeing come from strong relationships.

We also understand how important it is to support everyone who is involved in that child’s life – teachers, parents, caregivers, Elders, counsellors, support staff, and any other important people in their circle. Each person plays an important role in helping the student feel safe, seen, and supported in their learning and growth.

Our goal is to walk alongside you, offer support when needed, and help connect you with the right resources and people. We want you to know that you are not alone in this work. Whether you are supporting a student academically, emotionally, culturally, or in any other way, your efforts matter deeply and make a real difference.

We value the relationships that are built around each child and recognize that supporting students is shared work. Together, we can create spaces where students feel a strong sense of belonging, identity, and success.
