Indigenous Education

 

The Indigenous Program here at Brooklyn Elementary is available Monday to Friday during regular school hours and is open to all students of indigenous ancestry; this ancestry can be determined on a voluntary basis through self-identification and includes status, non-status, metis or Inuit ancestry and may extend several generations back in your family history.

The Indigenous Education Program in the Comox Valley has Indigenous Support Workers in every school in School District 71.  In addition to hosting lunch clubs for all grades, Indigenous Support Worker’s provide academic, cultural, social emotional and student leadership support to students.  Indigenous Support Workers are also available to support educators within the school by arranging cultural presentations, accessing Indigenous cultural resources both in community and through school district channels. This service is provided to enhance Brooklyn’s current school programs and if there is anything we can do to support your child please feel free to contact us.

 

The Indigenous Support Worker at Brooklyn is Cheryl Graham.
