We wish all of our Gr. 7s all the best as they say goodbye to their elementary school years and head off to high school.  

The James Thomson Ambassadors serve as role models for our school community, and are the "face" of the school in the broader community.  We are pleased to have these two strong young women filling this role in the coming year.​

​Henderson students raised and released Painted Lady Butterflies at home.

​We were thrilled to meet many of our incoming kindergarten students and their families during our Kindergarten Welcome. What an exciting time! We can't wait for September.

​A short walk, sunshine and a low tide led to some great beach discoveries.

As a final project, students from traditional language and culture classes, as well as BCFNS12 classes came together in an authentic, immersive cultural experience at the Salish Centre.  The Nohom featured students singing, dancing, drumming; they prepared and served traditional foods as well as gifts from hide and cedar.

Congratulations and BRAVO to the cast and crew of Romeo & Juliet!  They just wrapped three evening shows after a grueling rehearsal schedule all fall.  Way to go!

​Mrs. Dupuis' BC First Peoples 12 class headed to James Thompson to read to classes!  Stories shared were inspired or authored by indigenous peoples.  Thanks to students from Photography 11 that came to document the journey and rich experience for students at both schools!

​Thank you to MP North Island-Powell River Rachel Blaney, District International Principal Shannon Behan, community members and the students of the Environmental Club (sponsored by Mr. Dyck) for their great work in continuing the very important conversation around climate change in Powell River and beyond!
