Kids outside school

The Richmond School District acknowledges and thanks the First Peoples of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm language group on whose traditional and unceded territories we teach, learn and live.

The district is a vibrant learning community that fosters students’ engagement, creativity, and well-being in inclusive learning environments. 

 

…teachers in particular have a sacred responsibility to ensure that all their children, regardless of their heritage, are able to think about four key questions throughout their education: where do I come from, where am I going, why am I here, and most importantly, who am I?

Hon. Senator Murray Sinclair
