Our students are varied. We have 4.4% of our students who self-identify as having indigenous ancestry; 9.6% have a ministry designation identifying exceptionalities and so needing some form of social-emotional and/or academic support and/or accommodation; 12.9% are English Language Learners requiring targeted intervention and support; and 2% are English as a Second Dialect students who also are provided with individual support in classrooms.
Our socio-economic status has a wide range, with families renting suites to families owning houses or condos. Families have a variety of challenges with many of the families having dual working parents which makes it more difficult to support learning at home. However, there are many families that can provide many learning experiences to enrich their children. Some of our students are struggling with a 'learning gap' brought on by the pandemic, in all three 'r's' and we notice that our older students have more difficulty in social problem-solving.
