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

Explore the ways we are LEARNING BETTER TOGETHER for the success of ALL learners in Cariboo-Chilcotin School District:

<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.

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>

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.

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>

Building Belonging: RCMP Constables Visit Our Wolf Pack

<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>

<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.

This joint activity encouraged collaboration, allowing students to learn from each other’s diverse perspectives.

Ultimately, this approach emphasizes that the success of one student is interconnected with the success of all, highlighting the importance of community in education.</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/e1864ffa-3856-58f7-bc36-17f0d32e867b?fingerprint=ppb20251217040405" alt="civf3co7.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"><img src="/images/e164b95f-aeaf-5677-89f8-5c50a249c17e?fingerprint=ppb20251217040405" alt="08i4rusc.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>
