Indigenous Education Services

The Indigenous Education Support Worker currently assigned to Highlands Elementary School is Megan Holmes.
 
 All students who identify themselves of Indigenous Ancestry are eligible for support services through the Indigenous Education Program. The Welcoming Space is located across from the kitchen.
 
For enhanced communication on upcoming community events, we will post them on the bulletin board around the corner from the gymnasium.

At Highlands Elementary School we offer various learning experiences with Indigenous presentations and cultural activities for all students. Integrating and learning about indigenous perspectives provides cultural awareness, which creates acceptance and respect of other cultures. In the Welcoming Space, students will be supported individually and in group settings and will be provided with opportunities that will increase their sense of belonging.
