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 Sunshine Coast School District 46 and our communities by offering site-specific community-based programs as well as regional programs that benefit the entire Sunshine Coast.

Schools Out Spring 2026 Registration Information
Registration is now open for our Schools Out Programming, Spring 2026. There will be two programs running at both Elphinstone and Chatelech.
These programs are intended to ease the worries that may come with entering high school. Students will have the opportunity to become familiar with the school, meet some of the staff and hang out with students from other schools.
Please note that this is an “Expression of Interest” and not an automatic registration. You will be notified whether your student has been officially registered shortly after Spring Break.
