I will be taking a break from regular blogging this summer. I hope everyone has a safe and restful two months. I will update any emerging information as it comes and be back regularly in the last week of August.

At last nights’ Board meeting district staff presented the results of the District’s first WorkSafeBC sanctioned Certificate of Recognition (COR) Health & Safety Audit. The District achieved an overall rating of 89.23% and will be the first school district in the province to achieve COR certification. Formal certification is pending official receipt of documents by WSBC from the BC Municipalities Safety Association, our certifying partner.

This afternoon, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed for a Community Threat Assessment Protocol. This protocol is the first in the area which allows for the sharing of information in the face of threats within the school community. This powerful document allows the sharing of information between the Westshore RCMP, the Vancouver Island Health Authority, the Ministry for Children and Families, Child Youth Mental Health and the School District. This year-long endeavour was led by Assistant Superintendent Dave Betts and authored by Dr. Doug Agar. Signatories on the MOU included; Mark Fisher (RCMP), Cheryl Damstetter (VIHA), Patti Simmons (MCFD/CYMH) and Board Chair Wendy Hobbs (SD#62). - Jim Cambridge

The Westshore Centre for Training and Leaning (WCLT) celebrated their annual graduation ceremony at Spencer's Isabelle Reader theatre last Thursday evening. Over fifty of the one hundred fifty grads were on hand to celebrate with family and friends. Congratulations to Principal Daphne Churchill and her staff who organized an outstanding ceremony. Students pride of accomplishment was evident throughout the evening, the highlight being a moving valedictorian speech from Anna Dorosch. - Jim Cambridge

Last evening, staff, students, and parents celebrated the accomplishments of many of the students from Edward Milne Community School. Most notable to me was the number of students being recognized. Unlike many ceremonies, where a few students seem to "pick up all the hardware" many, many students were recognized for their accomplishments in many different areas. Aside from academics, the arts were well represented in visual arts, performing arts, practical arts and citizenship. Well done EMCS! - Jim Cambridge

It was great to see a full house at Spencer's theatre Tuesday evening for the International Education year end ceremony. Despite the fact the Canucks were playing!! Host families were there with their students who were being recognized for their year's work. Five students spoke eloquently on the profound impact a year of Canadian schooling has made in their lives.
Thanks to the ISP department for their great work Tuesday night and throughout the year. Well done Heather, Nancy, Laura and Al! - Jim Cambridge

What a great feeling and such positive energy could be found today at the track at Belmont, where hundreds of elementary students, parents and staff take over for the annual Elementary School Track meet. Beautiful weather marked the day of high spirits, laughter and fun. I want to thank the over dozen volunteers that helped out today, many were retired teachers and principals. It was great to see familiar faces again. Finally, a huge thank you to two teachers who tirelessly organize this event each year. Jack Showers, Savory Elementary, and Lorraine Van Dyk, Millstream Elementary have organized this event to perfection! Well Done! - Jim Cambridge

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week have marked Final Projects week for arts students at Edward Milne Community School. Students have prepared all year to present their visual and performing arts projects on these three special days. I was so impressed with the quality and depth of the visual art I viewed today. It is also a tribute to the many teachers that have inspired and directed these talented students. - Jim Cambridge
