At Seabird Island Community School, the staff are guided by a strong set of values that prioritize the well-being and success of students. They believe deeply in upholding First Nations’ jurisdiction over education and ensuring that the curriculum perpetuates and strengthens Indigenous culture and language. The staff see their role as providing students with teachings, experiences, and values that develop critical personal qualities like self-reliance, cooperation, respect, and care for the environment. Education is viewed holistically, addressing physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and academic needs. Underpinning all of this is the belief that parents, learners, and the community hold the ultimate responsibility for education. The staff are committed to reflecting community teachings and values highly honored by Seabird Island. With this philosophical foundation, the staff work tirelessly to create an educational environment that empowers students while celebrating Indigenous identity.
