We are more effective when we work collaboratively and seamlessly to support student needs. We are ALL responsible for working together for the success of ALL students. Improving communication and access to common information, establishing effective instructional and support teams, and focusing on wrapping around and strengthening the core relationship of teacher-student-families will improve student success.
We have developed a Framework for Collective Responsibility that will help guide the work we do from creating, implementing and monitoring School Plans for Learner Success, Local Education Agreements with First Nation communities, Individual Education Plans (IEP), and interventions by School-Based Teams (SBT). Common district assessments, with results made available in a timely and user-friendly format, support collaborative learning conversations by teams. Collective responsibility is a theme that emerges across all the other focus areas as we all do our parts toward common goals. Examples of this work include:
- Focus for the current year on walking together
- Collective Responsibility Framework
- New district data warehouse and information management system
- Strengthened school-based team (SBT) processes
- More opportunities for cross-school collaboration

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">At École 100 Mile Elementary, we know that learning, well-being, and belonging are deeply connected — and that supporting children is a collective responsibility.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with Breakfast Club of Canada, whose support helps ensure our students have access to nutritious food to start their day. Their mission is rooted in helping children “reach their full potential by starting every school day with nutritious food.”</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Programs like these are about far more than breakfast. They help create welcoming spaces where students feel cared for, connected, and ready to learn. When schools, families, community organizations, and national partners work together, we strengthen the circle of support around children.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you to Breakfast Club of Canada, our staff, volunteers, and community members for helping make sure every child starts the day with dignity, nourishment, and the opportunity to thrive. </span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/cab97be0-edf3-48f3-9c2b-83d9b58212bb?fingerprint=ppb20260603210011" alt="Breakfast Club 2 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/980971b3-60f6-4533-a9cf-11bddc6f7ff4?fingerprint=ppb20260603210011" alt="Breakfast Club 1 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
Active Minds & UNBC
100 Mile Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This week, four of our intermediate classes had the opportunity to participate in an engaging STEM workshop presented by University of Northern British Columbia Active Minds.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Through hands-on building, problem-solving, and collaborative challenges, students explored STEM learning in ways that were active, creative, and deeply engaging. Experiences like these remind us that supporting children in discovering their strengths and future possibilities is a collective responsibility shared between schools, families, communities, and post-secondary partners.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">One especially meaningful part of the day was welcoming back one of the presenters, a graduate from our own community. Seeing local students return to inspire the next generation creates a powerful bridge between elementary learning and future pathways, helping students see that opportunities in STEM are within reach.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">By creating connections between young learners and real-world experiences, we help students expand their sense of what is possible for their future. Thank you to the Active Minds team for investing in our students and helping nurture curiosity, confidence, and innovation. </span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/ffe330f5-da96-47d4-a5aa-d4120f075951?fingerprint=ppb20260603201754" alt="Active Minds 2 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/496060e1-6adb-4fe8-bf5a-1d709b803e87?fingerprint=ppb20260603201754" alt="Active Minds 1 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
Community Partnerships That Bring Learning to Life
100 Mile Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This week, principals and vice-principals from across Cariboo Chilcotin School District gathered at Gavin Lake Forest Education Society to step into the role of learners and experience the same powerful outdoor education opportunities available to our students.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">From exploring the fascinating world of toads, snakes, lichens, and local ecosystems to hiking the hills surrounding the lake, practicing archery, and spending time immersed in the forest, school leaders were reminded of the incredible learning that happens when education is rooted in place.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Place-based learning invites students to build knowledge through direct connection with the land. It nurtures curiosity, strengthens observation skills, and helps learners understand the complex relationships that sustain the natural world. Just as importantly, it fosters a sense of collective responsibility—both to one another and to the environments we share.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Experiences like these reflect the power of collective responsibility. Through strong partnerships with community organizations such as Gavin Lake Forest Education Society, we are able to provide authentic learning opportunities that connect students to the land, to local knowledge, and to each other.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are grateful to the Gavin Lake team for their ongoing commitment to helping our students—and our leaders—discover that some of the most meaningful lessons are found just beyond the classroom walls.</span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/25fa2aff-bdbe-4a4d-ac5c-db67c75ece2f?fingerprint=ppb20260519175659" alt="Community Partnerships 1 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/eda282f4-6efc-488d-9819-8aed6e41f93a?fingerprint=ppb20260519175659" alt="Community partnerships 2 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
Safer Space: Children of the Street
100 Mile Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Keeping children safe is a shared responsibility.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This week, our students participated in the Safer Space workshop presented by Children of the Street, a provincial organization dedicated to preventing the sexual exploitation and human trafficking of children and youth in British Columbia.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Through engaging and age-appropriate activities, students learned how to recognize online risks, protect their privacy, and make safe choices when using apps, games, and social media. Most importantly, they were reminded that if something feels uncomfortable or unsafe, there are trusted adults and community supports ready to help.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">At École 100 Mile Elementary, we believe that raising safe, informed, and empowered children takes all of us working together—schools, families, and community partners. We are grateful to Children of the Street for sharing their expertise and helping our students build the knowledge and confidence they need to navigate an increasingly complex digital world.</span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 33px;"><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/71c57ecc-7d0f-49ad-8430-a4ab2585fbef?fingerprint=ppb20260519174017" alt="Safer Space Children of the Street" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/7f09ef0e-5604-4bab-b8f2-5c7356e1d7a8?fingerprint=ppb20260519174015" alt="Safer Space Children of the Street" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
Learning Through Connection: Honouring Drum Making Teachings from Tsq'escen'
100 Mile Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Today, our Strong Start coordinators had the privilege of learning alongside Ryan Christopher and Mike Archie, who generously shared traditional knowledge connected to drum making—knowledge that is deeply rooted in culture, relationship, and respect.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Guided by teachings connected to Tsq'escen', the session was a powerful reminder that learning is not something we do in isolation. Drum making is not simply a craft—it reflects collective responsibility, where each step carries meaning, and each person has a role in honouring the process. From the materials used to the intention behind each action, the teachings emphasized connection: to the land, to one another, and to those who have carried this knowledge across generations.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Moments like these highlight the importance of community partnerships and the role of knowledge keepers in our learning environments. When we create space to listen, learn, and engage with local Indigenous knowledge, we strengthen our understanding of belonging—not just for our students, but for ourselves as educators.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are grateful to Ryan and Mike, and to the community of Tsq'escen’, for sharing their time, wisdom, and stories. This work continues to remind us that education is at its strongest when it is grounded in relationship, guided by respect, and carried forward together.</span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 33px;"><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/cfc938e4-6ad9-4fcf-9371-f1d96ac7f02f?fingerprint=ppb20260506220713" alt="Learning Through Connection Honouring Drum Making Teachings from Tsqescen" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/5af1300d-37a5-427c-9a1e-481741b3737f?fingerprint=ppb20260506220709" alt="Learning Through Connection Honouring Drum Making Teachings from Tsqescen 2" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
Global Citizenship & Generosity
100 Mile Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The island of Roatan, Honduras, is home to many small rural schools, nestled in tropical forests just minutes from the Caribbean Sea. During a recent visit, Mrs. Helmer had the opportunity to experience this community firsthand. While struck by the beauty of the island, she also noticed the challenges local schools face in accessing basic supplies.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">She brought these experiences—and her desire to help—back to her Grade 6/7 class.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Inspired by her story, students chose to take action. As a class, they decided to share a portion of the funds they have been raising for their own field trip to purchase much-needed school supplies for one of the schools in Roatan. This was a powerful example of students thinking beyond themselves and making a meaningful contribution to others.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The response from the students in Roatan was filled with gratitude and joy.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This experience reflects the Circle of Courage in action. Students demonstrated generosity by giving to others, belonging by forming connections beyond their own community, and independence through student voice and choice. In doing so, they also developed a sense of mastery—recognizing that their actions can have a real and positive impact in the world.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Mrs. Helmer’s leadership created the conditions for this learning to come alive. By sharing her experience and inviting students into it, she helped turn empathy into action. We are proud of this class for showing what it means to care for others in both word and deed.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/fab57015-e979-423c-9656-4d7029e139a8?fingerprint=ppb20260422050052" alt="Global Citizenship crystaldawn langton" width="497" height="373" style="width:497px;height:373px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">CCSD27 has launched a new training module for ALL staff focused on recognizing worrisome behaviours. Throughout the month of April, staff across the district will be completing the Worrisome Behaviour Module as part of CCSD27’s ongoing commitment to student and staff well‑being.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Early recognition of concerning behaviour is a critical part of keeping schools safe, inclusive, and supportive. When adults understand the early warning signs that a student or colleague may be struggling, they are better equipped to respond early, connect individuals with appropriate supports, and help prevent concerns from escalating. This proactive approach strengthens relationships, supports mental health, and contributes to safer learning and working environments for everyone.</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">By ensuring all staff share a common understanding and language around worrisome behaviour, CCSD27 is reinforcing a culture of care, shared responsibility, and early intervention—key elements in fostering healthy school communities where students and staff feel seen, supported, and protected.</span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/ba22e76e-4efd-4f0d-9ae6-3626910a554e?fingerprint=ppb20260416054230" alt="All CCSD27 Staff Trained in Recognizing Worrisome Behaviour1 Hattie Darney" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/3a3ad624-262b-460b-adf3-73f40bd47874?fingerprint=ppb20260416054229" alt="All CCSD27 Staff Trained in Recognizing Worrisome Behaviour Hattie Darney" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the strongest examples of collective responsibility we’ve seen recently has come through the mock audit process.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s stood out isn’t just the work itself, but how teams have approached it. School teams and Support Services have been working side by side—reviewing files, asking questions, and making changes together. There’s been a real shift toward shared ownership, where this isn’t seen as one person’s job, but something we all have a role in.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s also created space for honest reflection. Not everything is perfect—and that’s okay. The focus has been on improving practice so that what we are doing to support students is clear, consistent, and easy to understand for everyone, including families.</span></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the ways we’ve been building collective responsibility within Support Services is by being intentional about how we start our time together.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">At each staff meeting, we begin with “greatness and gratitude” — taking a few minutes to share the schools we’ve been working in and the positive impacts we’re seeing. It’s a simple practice, but it keeps us grounded in why we do this work and reminds us that we are all contributing to something bigger than our individual roles.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Alongside this, the mock audit process has brought teams together in a really meaningful way. School teams and Support Services staff have been working side by side—reviewing, reflecting, and making improvements together. There’s been a clear shift toward shared ownership, where supporting students is not left to one person, but is truly a collective effort.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This combination of reflection, gratitude, and shared work is helping to build a culture where people feel connected, supported, and responsible for the success of all students—not just those directly on their caseload.</span></p>

Building Belonging: RCMP Constables Visit Our Wolf Pack
100 Mile Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We were happy to welcome RCMP Constables Hunt and Brown to the school this week. Their regular visits help strengthen trust, connection, and our shared sense of collective responsibility for caring for one another. These visits also support the Circle of Courage—especially Belonging and Generosity—as students see community partners showing up, building relationships, and giving their time.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Our learners were full of great questions: “How fast does your car go?” “How do you catch bad guys?” and “How do you become a police officer?” Constables Hunt and Brown used these moments to highlight how many people work together to keep communities safe and strong—an authentic example of Independence and Mastery in action as students explore how roles, skills, and choices shape the world around them.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The officers also joined in the seasonal fun, listening to stories about the mischievous elves who’ve been sneaking into classrooms and stirring up giggles across the school. Their visit reminded us that when we show up for one another—whether as officers, educators, or enthusiastic young learners—we help create a caring wolf pack where every child can belong, contribute, and grow.</span></p><table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/b0685e3e-411a-42c7-95d7-0df52580f036?fingerprint=ppb20251217035607" alt="Building Belonging RCMP crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/35f58dd6-d1d0-4284-837e-d0489048f585?fingerprint=ppb20251217033901" alt="Building Beloning RCMP 2 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>

BCPVPA- Foundations for New School Leaders
100 Mile Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In early July, I attended the Foundations for New School Leaders conference, hosted by BCPVPA, which centered on "Leading, Learning, Living in Relationship." One of the presenters, Carolyn Roberts from UBC, focused on circle work and is the author of Re-storying Education. The conference included sessions on psychological safety and decision-making, along with an exploration of leadership competencies aimed at growing the capacity of self and others. Participants engaged in case studies and reflections throughout the day, explored BCPVPA supports and services, and emphasized the development of a culture of curiosity and inquiry, concluding with a closing circle.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/3d1c6354-672f-42a4-8ed4-cb05bc8fbdaa?fingerprint=ppb20260127225400" alt="BCPVPA Debbie Dixon" width="396" height="528" style="width:396px;height:528px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
Community Connections with Work BC
100 Mile Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The BC Curriculum for Career Education for Grades 6 and 7 emphasizes personal development, community connections, and leadership skills, all resonating with the Circle of Courage framework. This model promotes belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity, crucial for nurturing well-rounded individuals.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In this context, students explore their strengths and preferences, linking them to potential career paths while understanding the influence of peers and family on their decisions. Recently, Mrs. Helmer, Ms. Hamm, and Ms. Loewen's classes participated in an engaging lesson led by Work BC. They learned about various job options, the skills required for specific careers, and how to create effective resumes and present themselves professionally.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This hands-on experience not only aligns with the curriculum’s focus on personal growth and community involvement but also encourages students to contribute positively to their surroundings. Overall, these lessons equip students with essential skills and a sense of purpose, preparing them for successful futures in the workforce and fostering a supportive community.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/46b4b155-26d7-42c0-8d72-a4ef26f069c9?fingerprint=ppb20251217033956" alt="Community Connections with Work BC" width="731" height="336" style="width:731px;height:336px"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A collaboration between kindergarten and grade 12 students exemplifies collective responsibility by fostering a shared commitment to the educational growth of all participants.

This joint activity encouraged collaboration, allowing students to learn from each other’s diverse perspectives. The interaction not only enhanced social and emotional development but also created a rich environment for exchanging knowledge and experiences.

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">World Teachers’ Day is held internationally on October 5 to celebrate the work of teachers. In Cariboo-Chilcotin School District we recognize that the core relationship of education is between the teacher- student- caregivers. We also recognize that teachers have incredible support here from all the staff, especially at the school level, who wrap around and support that relationship and the work of teaching and learning. We extend a big THANK YOU to teachers and the colleagues who make their work possible and hope they enjoy these BC apples from Desert Hills.</span></p><div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/1b97287d-179a-504e-840e-256ba0188d3a?fingerprint=ppb20251217033752" alt="s2bep6wb.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>
