Check out district scholarships

Are you graduating this year? Or are you a parent of a child graduating this year? Due to the generosity of our communities, there are scholarships and bursaries which students are able to apply for.

A number of the scholarships are district-wide scholarships and these can be applied for on-line between April 1 and April 30. Students can check it out here.

Although this page is still under construction (we hope to eventually have information about each scholarship donor along with the scholarship criteria and amount), students can view the information that is available so far.

This link also includes a description of the District Dogwood Authority Awards (which students apply for through their school), and upcoming scholarships. A link is available on the school district website under student links (www.sd83.bc.ca) or on each of the SD83 high school websites!

What parents need to know!

SD83 will be hosting a three-part series for parents that focuses on online gaming, social media safety for youth, and sexploitation. The sessions will be held online from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. on three consecutive Mondays, February 27, March 6 and March 13. 

Led by a Safer Schools Together trainer Scott Rothermel, the first session is about the Risks and Rewards of online gaming, the second is on social media, and the third on sexting, sextortion and sexual age of consent.
