The Sunshine Coast of British Columbia is located 30 kilometres northwest of Vancouver and stretches 96 kilometres along the picturesque shores of Georgia Strait. Reached by a 40-minute ferry ride across Howe Sound from Horseshoe Bay, the Coast offers a wide range of recreational and educational activities for students and their families.

Our Four Priorities during the Coronavirus Pandemic
1. Maintain a healthy and safe environment for all students and families, and all employees.
2. Provide services to support the children of essential workers.
3. Support vulnerable students who may need special assistance.
4. Provide continuity of educational opportunities for all students.
We Heart Custodians!
“One professionally educated, certified, well-trained, conscientious housekeeper, given the right tools and enough time to do their job, will prevent more disease than a room full of doctors can cure.” – J. Darrel Hicks 2006
Whether they are caring for our ESW daycare sites, or supporting staff and others to access the necessary resources needed to educate in our current situation, SD46 custodians are making a huge impact! Custodians are diligently working in coordination with Principals, Managers, and staff to ensure that all who need, can enter facilities and work in a safe and sanitary environment. Doing their part to best ensure the health and safety of the staff and community at this time is the department’s utmost priority.

Literacy Fun!
School Libraries have been closed but that hasn’t stopped literacy fun! Teacher librarians are working closely with teachers and students running bookclubs, creating Padlets, delivering books, and at Halfmoon Bay, Teacher Librarian Robyn Anderson paired up with Grade 1 teacher Lauren Taylor to create a mystery You Tube video with clues to solve for students when learning online at home! Good luck and happy sleuthing!
Keeping the Fire
The Indigenous Learning Team has been keeping the fire. Amid Zoom SBT and staff meetings, supporting students and families by phone and in driveways, and helping out with the continuity of learning, on May 11 they launched a web based “Basket of Professional Development and Learning Resources” for colleagues. Check it out!
Sunshine Coast Family of Community Schools
Sunshine Coast Community Schools are committed to supporting and improving student learning and to strengthening individuals, families, and vibrant, healthy communities by providing quality programs, lifelong learning opportunities, and connections to school and community resources.
The Community Schools secure grants and external funding to provide valuable programs, services and activities in and out of school time to address nutritional, physical, social and emotional well-being. Community Schools enhance the work of both School District 46 and our communities by offering site-specific community-based programs as well as regional programs that benefit the entire Sunshine Coast.
Let the sun shine down!
Gibsons Elementary has recently been outfitted with a 100 kW Solar System.
