On October 23, we invite BC teachers to join us in Vancouver for our full-day workshop, Executive Function & The Writing Process.

Some learners struggle with executive function skills, but the skills that help them succeed in the writing process can apply to all learners.

We'll explore the facets of writing and how to teach it with a cognitive, cumulative and sequential approach that makes it accessible to your students.

You'll learn to:
🧑‍🏫 Mediate instruction
🧠 Develop oral language skills to facilitate higher-level thinking
🎧 Apply multisensory techniques for teaching the writing process

Congratulations to Fraser Academy's Mr. Jamie Girouard, an accomplished artist and ADST teacher, whom Western Living Magazine has celebrated as "One to Watch" in its maker category for Designers of the Year.

Mr. Girouard also won a People’s Choice Award for his one-of-a-kind handmade rug, titled Matmul (pictured): https://westernliving.ca/doty/wl-peoples-choice-awards/meet-the-2026-wl-peoples-choice-winners/

Judge Caroline Boquist praised Girouard’s ex*****on of scientific concepts: “His use of colour, shape and texture come together in a cohesive and unexpected interplay that’s both artistic and delightful.”

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Girouard!

Executive functions (EF) are a collection of brain-based processes that help us self-regulate and work towards a goal.

We use them to pay attention, start something difficult, try another approach when a problem isn’t working, organize our ideas, or finish a project on time.

These processes have an enormous impact on learning, but they are largely invisible.

When a learner struggles with EF skills, what we see is often the outcome: the missing assignment, the unfinished paragraph, the forgotten instructions, or the student who simply hasn’t started.

It is easy to mistake an invisible skill gap for a lack of effort.

Last week, we kicked off Dyslexia Awareness Month by raising the Dyslexia Canada flag outside our school!

Throughout October, we’ll join communities around the world in raising awareness and understanding of dyslexia, while celebrating the many strengths of our students. It’s a chance to come together, share stories, and recognize the different ways that dyslexic minds learn, think, and contribute.

Keep an eye out for more posts throughout October as we mark Dyslexia Awareness Month together! ✨

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we are once again honoured to fly this flag outside our school.

Designed by an FA alumnus in collaboration with his grandmother, an artist and master weaver from the Musqueam Nation, the work invites us to consider our connection to the land, respect, and reconciliation.

Following our Orange Shirt Day assembly earlier this week, we invite our community to pause, reflect, and continue learning from Indigenous voices while considering our own role in reconciliation.

Did you know that reading isn’t a natural process for the human brain? 📚

Unlike spoken language, reading requires explicit, structured teaching, especially for dyslexic learners. That’s why at Fraser Academy, Orton-Gillingham (OG) tutoring is built into the schedule for every student.

Our certified practitioners tailor each session to your child’s unique learning profile and pace, turning daily struggle into lasting academic confidence.

Join us at our upcoming Open House on October 6 and learn about our specialized program!

Receiving notes like this is one of the greatest joys of being an educator at FA.

When Mia was a student at Fraser Academy, our art department ensured their passion was fostered and developed. Today, they're thriving in Capilano University's IDEA Program, and recently sent this heartfelt letter to thank the teachers who believed in them every step of the way.

A special thank you to cross-curricular teacher Ms. Schreyer (pictured with Mia), whose classes bring the academic curriculum to life through art. Her encouragement helped create a space where creativity could grow alongside confidence.

If you've ever felt like your interests go unnoticed, we hope Mia's story reminds you that your passions matter, your strengths deserve to be nurtured, and the right support can make all the difference.
