Introduction to Compassionate Systems Framework in Nechako Lakes, BC, August 31 – September 2, 2026, featuring Dr. Mette Boell

https://systemsawareness.org/program/intro-compassionate-systems-nechako-lakes-bc-aug2026/

We welcome all of our partners: teachers, administrators, leaders, support staff, parents, community members, and especially students.

This 3-day event is based, in part, on the leadership development process originally described in The Fifth Discipline, integrating elements of the Compassionate Systems framework, a pillar of the BC Mental Health in Schools Strategy. This framework draws on the science of well-being, social-emotional and contemplative learning strategies, and various approaches to understanding the complexity of educational and other human systems.

There is also an opportunity to participate in an optional contemplative retreat.

Contemplative Retreat: September 3–4, 2026

Notice of Nomination Announcement

New Teacher in Vanderhoof seeking a rental

A new teacher from out of province is starting in September and needs housing for the last week of August. She is a non-smoker and has no pets. Ideally, she is looking for a furnished, spacious private room with access to a kitchen and washroom or a furnished one-bedroom place. One parking space is needed.

If a furnished place is not available, she would consider an unfurnished option as well, but does not want to be in a basement suite.

If you can help, please email [email protected] to share your contact information so you can connect directly with our new teacher.

Summer Break 2026

Decker Lake School "Pie in Face" Fundraiser

Decker Lake School held their food bank fundraiser yesterday in front of the whole school. Students and staff bought tickets to be one of the three lucky people to throw pies at Principal, Eleanor Giesbretcht, Asst. Superintendent, Mike Skinner and Union President, Jim Iker.

This event raised money for The Link in Burns Lake and capped off a wonderful sports day under blue skies.

SD91 Inclusive Education Team

Staff who work across the district jumped on the bus to meet at Muriel Mould Neighbourhood Learning Centre in Burns Lake.

The Inclusive Education Team, an itinerant staff team of Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Professionals, behaviour consultants, psychologists, mental health clinicians, counsellors, and the Feeding Futures manager, met for their final staff meeting to review services and plan for the next school year.

We wish students and families all the best this summer!
