We are all Connected

As part of the Aboriginal astronomy unit, in Grade 2/3 classes at Currie, students used the medicine wheel to demonstrate their understanding of cycles, and the harmony and balance between the four seasons

The 4 Goals of Our Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement

Goal #1: Richmond's students with Aboriginal ancestry will work toward a strong sense of belonging and confidence through pride in their cultural heritage.

Goal #2: All students in Richmond will demonstrate a deeper understanding and appreciation of the histories, languages, and cultures of Aboriginal communities from an Aboriginal perspective.

Goal #3: Increased transition rates in all areas, but most specifically: into Kindergarten, from elementary to high school, from Grade 9 to grade 10, when preparing to leave secondary school, when moving into the Richmond community, and when changing schools.

Goal #4: Richmond's students with Aboriginal ancestry will have increased opportunities to develop their personal leadership abilities and to engage in leadership opportunities within the schools and in the broader community.
