Shawn Achor research is highlighted in #POPEY2020! Let’s tune into the positive effect of happiness – to quality of life/achievement! Let’s pay attention! @SSCSchools Patrick Bocking

For weeks Dr. Henry has said don't travel if it's not essential. Yesterday ferries to the #SunshineCoastBC were full of people who deserve to live in a dictatorship. The rest of us respect seniors, health care workers and each other.

What will your child discover in your back yard this weekend?

Teachers are trying their best in this new, unprecedented world. #teachers Karine Boily

Thank you, @susinnielsen for talking to @SSCschools students about #NoFixedAddress and #writing today. Tmrw we will launch distribution of #CoastalVoices, 10th annual anthology of student writing. A great week for young writers & readers on the #SunshineCoast. #WriteYourOwnStory

Remember: Deep listening is your superpower this fall. Slow down and prioritize... - Relationships over rigor - Connection over content - Support over supervision - Courage over comfort We can do this. We can humanize our schools and communities. We can speak truth to power.

Quite the storm last night!

#SD46 Looking forward to greeting the students today and over the next few days. It is in a new way - yes - and we have got to be careful - but it feels great to finally begin the learning journey again! #InThisWeJourneyTogether

I am so pleased to hear stories of the great first day back to school for many of our students! Thank you to principals for the careful planning and to all staff for their commitment to students’ well being.

Warm congratulations to the shishalh Nation on their 34th Year of Self Governance. The first to achieve Self-Governance in Canada, the shishalh People have been self-determining since the passing of Bill C 93 Sechelt Indian Band Self Government Act in 1986.

A gentle reminder to teachers that your lessons have lifelong impacts. Back home, randomly ran into two high school teachers. Mr MacMillan (whose lessons helped me through live coverage of a BC non-confidence vote) and Mr Bartlett (who organized our high school debating). Thanks!
