成人视频

Elgin Park is a secondary school that is part of the 成人视频 School District. It is nestled in a beautiful community setting in South 成人视频.  We are a school that is proud to acknowledge that we work, learn, and connect on the traditional, unceded, and ancestral territory of the Katzie, Kwantlen, Semiahmoo, and other Coast Salish Peoples past and present.

Goals:

• The purpose of Elgin Park Secondary School is to provide opportunities which will enable learners to develop their individual potential and to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to become self-reliant, responsible, creative and contributing members of our dynamic democratic society.
• We believe in a strong partnership between home and school. We want parents involved in their children's education to help us understand the needs and expectations of the community as well as those of their children.

By using the core competencies as our foundation for all student learning, our school goals include:

1. Continuing to improve student literacy skills. Our learners can think critically, creatively, and reflectively to analyze ideas within, between, and beyond texts. 
2. Learning is not compartmentalized; rather, learning is deeply connected, interwoven, and can be transferred. Our learners can make connections between curricular areas and the real world.
3. Our learners can use strategies to self regulate and focus on their well being. Developing SEL wellness through a focus on directly teaching strategies to self regulate for all students - Communication, Thinking, Personal/Social. 
4. Building positive school environment and culture that celebrate all learners. Our learners feel a sense of belonging, care, and support in our school. Our learners are diverse and the curriculum supports and allows students to connect to curricular areas.
