C Ommunity C Ontext C OMMUNITY C ONTEXT P HYSICAL S ETTING West Vancouver is a waterfront community bounded by the moun- tains to the north, Burrard Inlet and Howe Sound to the south and west, and the Capilano River corridor to the east. Connections to downtown Vancouver and points east and south from West Vancouver are via the Lions Gate Bridge and through North Vancouver via Highway 1 to the Second Narrows Bridge. The Upper Levels Highway serves as the major east/west connection to the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal, Sea to Sky Highway (Highway 99 North) and Whistler to the north, and to the other North Shore municipalities. Marine Drive is the scenic route connecting local neighbourhoods along West Vancouver’s waterfront and providing a lower connec- tion to North Vancouver and the Lions Gate Bridge. West Vancouver’s dramatic topography is one of its defining charac- teristics. The rugged shoreline, steep terrain, numerous creeks and watercourses, and spectacular views provide an extremely attractive setting of international renown. District, regional, and provincial parks throughout the community offer unparalleled opportunities for out- door recreation, open space, and access to natural areas. There is a range of amenities and natural features – from the beaches and ma- rinas along the shores of Burrard Inlet and Howe Sound to the hiking trails and ski areas on Hollyburn Ridge and Cypress Mountain. 8 D EVELOPMENT West Vancouver is a community of residential neighbourhoods generally defined by their pattern and history of development, landscape charac- ter, natural features, local schools, and neighbourhood shopping areas. The commercial areas include the Ambleside town centre, the historic community business core with its concentration of services, amenities and waterfront parks, the Park Royal regional shopping centre at the entrance to the community, and smaller neighbourhood and local commercial ar- eas. U PPER L ANDS Extensive areas above the Upper Levels Highway are mountain wilderness. Most of the uppermost areas will continue to be preserved in their natural forested state for watershed, open space, limited use and recreation, while lands below the 1200’ elevation will be developed over time as attractive neighbourhoods within a framework of significant open space features.

  • To View Frequently Asked Questions and Answers About the Return to School This September
    West Vancouver Schools RETURN TO SCHOOL FAQS September 2, 2020 Learning Options and Cohorts What options are available beyond in-person learning? Home Schooling - This is an alternative method of teaching outside of the BC education system. Typically, a family member delivers and is responsible for designing the entire educational program for their child at home. Homeschooling programs are not supervised by a B.C.-certified teacher. Distributed Learning (DL) - This has always been an alternate to in-person learning that allows students to access learning on their own terms with limited in-person sessions. Teachers often teach via video conferences, email and through other means. In K-9 this is for a full program; in grades 10-12 it is for individual courses. West Vancouver does not have its own DL Program, but there are various options available to students all across the province. Temporary Transition - For K-9 students who are not ready to return to in-person learning this September, we are working to develop a temporary transition program that will allow students to be attached to their school while receiving some of their education at home as we support a transition back to full time in-person learning through the fall. This program will start the week of September 21st. How do we access different options for the fall? We are asking families to have a discussion with their school principals / vice-principals. Each set of circumstances is different and this way we can help personalize the best option for your child. While the conversations are localized, the options are consistent across all schools.

  • Five Days a Week, a New 32 Minute Block of Flexible Instructional Time (FIT) Will Be Added Between the First and Second Class Blocks of the Day
    Schedule Change Proposal Frequently Asked Questions What are the highlights of the Schedule Change? ● Five days a week, a new 32 minute block of flexible instructional time (FIT) will be added between the first and second class blocks of the day. The new FIT block has been created by shortening every class block by eight minutes. A standard class block will now be approximately 72 minutes long. ● During these FIT blocks, no classes will formally be in session. All teachers will be available to support student learning in multiple ways. ● These FIT blocks will be flexible in terms of how they are structured and used by students. Time can be directly focused on Career Education curricular competencies and content, or it can be used to address other learning needs. These learning needs may include: ○ meeting with teachers for support, guidance or inspiration regarding specific curriculum, or other passions or interests ○ collaboration time with students, teachers, or community members ○ time to explore, work on, or complete assignments and projects ● Students will have the flexibility to choose the four-credit Career Life Education course in Grade 10 within the timetable or in a blended model format. A blended model allows students to meet with teachers before or after school, supported within the FIT block to address the curriculum. Blended classes are not scheduled within the regular 4-block-a-day timetable and provide the opportunity for students to take an additional course if desired. ● Students will address the Career Life Connections curriculum (2 credits in Grade 11 and 2 credits in Grade 12) within the FIT blocks.

  • The Future of VSB Schools: Funding Schools During Declining and Uneven Enrollment
    The future of VSB schools: funding schools during declining and uneven enrollment by Peter Lunka MSc, Bangor University, 2014 B.A., University of British Columbia, 2007 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Public Policy in the School of Public Policy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Peter Lunka 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Peter Lunka Degree: Master of Public Policy Title: The future of VSB schools: funding schools during declining and uneven enrollment Examining Committee: Chair: Dominique Gross Professor, School of Public Policy, SFU Josh Gordon Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor Nancy Olewiler Supervisor Professor John Richards Internal Examiner Professor Date Defended/Approved: April 10, 2019 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract In recent years the management of Vancouver School Board (VSB) schools has generated significant public and media attention. VSB district enrollment has declined significantly over the past 20 years while Vancouver’s population has increased. Further, enrollment has increased in areas of urban development creating planning challenges where there are too many students in some schools and too few elsewhere. The Province expects the VSB to effectively manage their enrollment and have prioritized seismic upgrades for schools with high enrollment. This has led to potential school closures, catchment boundary changes, and 43 schools are listed as future priorities for seismic upgrades. This capstone investigates solutions to the VSB’s uneven enrollment challenges and related capital funding shortfalls through a jurisdictional scan, interviews, and a mapping study using VSB enrollment data.

  • Congratulations
    For Immediate Release Carson Secondary, Rockridge Secondary and Mulgrave School receive grant for innovative IB partnership NORTH VANCOUVER & WEST VANCOUVER, March 7, 2016 — Educators at three schools on the North Shore have been recognized for their collaboration and innovation around the International Baccalaureate (IB) approaches to learning skills. Educators from Carson Graham Secondary School, Rockridge Secondary School and Mulgrave School have been jointly investigating the approaches to learning skills in relation to the new BC curriculum, and providing meaningful, iterative feedback to students on their development of these skills. The partnership is the first of its kind between the North Vancouver School District, West Vancouver Schools and Mulgrave School, an independent school in West Vancouver. “At the core of any innovation, the opportunity for collaboration and the sharing of ideas must exist. Our recent innovation project provided an invaluable opportunity to partner with Rockridge and Mulgrave staff, offering the opportunity to critically reflect on our IB assessment practices and ultimately, enhancing teaching and learning,” said Karim Hachlaf, Principal, Carson Graham Secondary School. All three schools have International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programmes. Through this joint project, teachers have been deconstructing and overtly teaching and assessing the curricular skills foundational to each subject area within the new curriculum. Teachers and administrators at all three schools are excited to be able to partner to inquire into this topic, and their partnership efforts are being celebrated by the BC Ministry of Education. “The world is changing and parents expect us to do everything possible to prepare their kids for future success. Innovation Partnership projects help us do that.

  • School District 45 (West Vancouver) 2015 Carbon Neutral Action Report
    School District 45 (West Vancouver) 2015 Carbon Neutral Action Report Declaration Statement: This Carbon Neutral Action Report for the period January 1st to December 31st, 2015, summarizes our emissions profile, the amount of offsets purchased to reach net zero emissions, the actions we have taken in 2015 to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and our plans to continue reducing emissions in 2016 and beyond. By June 30 SD45’s final Carbon Neutral Action Report will be posted to our website at www.sd45.bc.ca. Overview: The West Vancouver Board of Education has maintained its commitment to system sustainability, including a variety of goals that focus on the District’s work to reduce its carbon footprint. The 2007 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act established the following emission reduction targets for the B.C. public sector: By 2020, B.C. will reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 33 per cent, compared to 2007 levels. By 2050, GHG emissions will be reduced by at least 80 per cent below 2007 levels. To meet the legislated targets, all public sector organizations including school districts are required to be carbon neutral. Achieving carbon neutrality involves four specific actions: measuring operational GHG emissions, reducing emissions where possible, offsetting the remainder of emissions, and reporting on emissions reduction actions. A carbon offset is a greenhouse gas emissions reduction tool that is used to compensate for emissions. Offsets, measured in terms of carbon dioxide equivalency, represent the net reduction in emissions that occurs when carbon offset payments are invested by the provincial government in emissions-reducing projects.
