As a school we are committed to creating an inclusive and equitable community by addressing ongoing inequities in access, service delivery, and outcomes.
This vision for the EEU was developed by the Equity Change Team and is the foundation for the work we have been doing as a staff around equity and diversity issues. As we continue our learning and efforts to create positive change, we want to invite families and community members to participate in our efforts to create a more inclusive world by being life-long learners, celebrating diversity, focusing on children and their families, & bringing joy to our community.
