SCHOOL GROWTH PLAN

Our Story 

Kelly Creek Community School is located in qathet Regional District, 15 kilometers south of the City of Powell River and on the traditional territory of the Tla’amin Nation.  Kelly Creek has seen a growth in our school population and is now at enrollment of 174 students from Kindergarten to Grade 7 (7 divisions). In addition to our school, we have a Strong Start early learning centre and a Daycare operated by the YMCA as part of our facility.  Our team of teachers, support staff and community coordinators work hard to provide a caring, inclusive learning environment for all learners. 

Community schools are regular schools with special belief in, and emphasis on, the value of community involvement. Our community school has a coordinator who works on many of the special offerings and programs. As a community school, Kelly Creek is a neighbourhood hub and offers a variety of programs and services to meet the specific educational, recreational and social needs of our students and the area we serve.  

Additionally, our location allows our school to focus on intentional, place-based learning opportunities in, around and outside the building, taking advantage of the incredible natural environment we are situated on (including but not limited to the coastal rainforest, creek, fish hatchery, estuary and beachfront, extended forested play area and outdoor classroom).
