District Student Council

We can’t tackle racism if we can’t talk about it. The District Student Council has a strong commitment to make all Central Okanagan Public Schools a safe environment for all students. antiracist.gov.bc.ca/reminders/remi… #ANTIRACISTBC

Grateful for Moyra Baxter and her 26 years of public service as a Trustee for Central Okangan Public Schools. She served as Chair for 16 years. Moyra is a champion for inclusive schools and transparent governance.

Today on Pink Shirt Day, all SD23 schools demonstrated their commitment to safe environments for students by wearing pink! Safe environments are ones with, no bullying, no discrimination against LGBTQ+ people, no racism and no discrimination against people with diverse abilities!

Happy Harmony Day SD23!! Today we take time to Respect and Encourage all members of our community! Harmony Day strives to foster an environment in which all people in our community can be in Harmony! Please refer to our previous post for the link to all the Harmony Day info!

The 15th annual Harmony Day event is this Wednesday (Feb 16) from 9:30AM-12:00PM virtually! This year’s theme is “Hope: Our Journey Together” and is explored by many incredible speakers from SD23. For more information, visit sd23harmonyday.weebly.com #harmonyday #sd23harmonyday

DSC was made aware of a great educational opportunity. “We Belong” is a program offered by the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity with the goal of educating youth ages 12-19 on “past, present and future of 2SLGBTQ+ peoples”. Visit the link: ccgsd-ccdgs.org/we-belong-nous…
