Powell River School District, also known as School District No. 47, is located on the northern tip of British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. The district serves 2,000 students in eight total schools. The district also offers several types of alternate programs and career programs, an Outdoor Learning Centre, and an early childhood center. Powell River School District—along with all schools in the province of British Columbia—is in the process of implementing a new provincial curriculum.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Powell River District Curriculum
The curriculum is changing to reflect the technology-driven world and help students locate and analyze information, to place more emphasis on concepts and processes, and to focus on learning less material but in greater depth. While the new curriculum will ensure that essential elements of learning are applied consistently, individual teachers will have freedom and will have the ability to personalize learning and differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of each their students.
The curriculum will also balance the “big ideas” that drive instruction that students need to understand with the foundational skills they learn as well as develop critical thinking and communication skills. Each content area will have a set of core competencies, and Aboriginal content—important learning for students in BC and all of Canada—will continue to be embedded. The new curriculum will be fully and officially implemented in grades K-9 by the 2016-17 school year and in grades 10-12 by the 2017-18 school year.

Chalk Talk: Transitioning from Middle to High School
Transitioning from middle to high school is a big step in a young person’s life. Students will have more flexibility in the courses they can choose than was the case in middle school. There will be many more electives to choose from, and students will likely not be mandated to take courses that were required in middle school, such as art, music, and the family and consumer sciences. In terms of the social aspect, middle school is often a tough adjustment, and sometimes, high school can be even more difficult. Cliques may become more abundant, and the older upperclassmen may bully the underclassmen. Many schools have mentoring or buddy programs to help smooth the transition. However, high school students will have a wealth of organizations and activities to join to meet classmates who have similar interests to theirs.
