Madison is a friendly grade 5 student who is always willing to help her friends and around the classroom. I'm happy that I got to watch her confidence grow this year. She joined the beginner soccer club at Deep Cove this year and she really enjoyed it. I wish for her to keep trying new things when she gets to Bayside. She is a good friend and she likes to make people laugh.

The SENĆOŦEN Translation of the Deep Cove Beliefs that were developed with the input of students and staff.
Students learning from Toby Joseph
June 2018
Deep Cove is nearing completion of the creation of their school Beliefs. As part of this process, accompanying artwork was created by Coast Salish artist, Sarah Jim. Sarah is a former Deep Cove student and Tseycum community member. The Beliefs have been produced in French, English, and Ms. Jim is working with her sister who is a SENĆOŦEN Immersion teacher to produce a version in SENĆOŦEN.
Each class was given money from school funds to invite local elders into their classrooms twice this year. Staff have advocated for this and the entire community has benefited from the learning opportunities of having elders come to share in our school community.
Deep Cove is working with Parkland to facilitate the visit of Indigenous students from the high school to share projects that they have created and are proud of with 2 of our elementary classes. Cameron and Bailey will be coming to Deep Cove this month to share projects in cartooning and English Language Arts.
