On Monday, a class of students from the ADR IAT joined our grade 9 Video Game Development cohort for our Beta test. This is a development stage where games have already been alpha tested—they are fully playable and contain all of the core mechanics that will be in the final game. It’s a chance to get honest feedback to guide the final stage of development. The ADR students attended a pre-beta press conference, where developers delivered short press release statements designed to hype up their games and entice testers to come try them out. Then, after a short break, the testers had 40 minutes to play the game while developers asked questions, observed, and tried to find new ways to improve their games. We’ve now entered the final stage of development—in one week these games will be put into arcade cabinets built and designed by our developers and then will go on display at the Imagine Learning Exhibition on June 23.

Today at Imagine High, students participated in Choose Your Ride, an impactful day of learning focused on safe driving, decision-making, and community care.

A huge thank you to the RCMP, EMR teams, and Kevin Brooks for joining us and leading such meaningful and interactive sessions. The roundabout activities gave students hands-on opportunities to engage with real-world safety scenarios, and the presentations left a lasting impact.

We’re grateful to everyone who helped make today such a learning experience for our community.

Today our Imagine High English First Peoples / Earth Science / Environmental Studies students had the opportunity to learn alongside the Kanaka Bar community at the Kanaka Bar Youth Climate Event.

Students explored topics including wildfire impacts, Indigenous land stewardship, food self-sufficiency, and climate adaptation through presentations and community knowledge sharing. The day offered a powerful example of learning grounded in place, relationship, and real-world challenges and solutions.

A huge thank you to Kanaka Bar for the warm welcome, generosity, and for sharing your knowledge, stories, and leadership with our students. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn together. 🌎💚

The Board will consider recommendations for balancing enrolment and capacity at a board meeting on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.

The board package is available on our website: https://sd33.bc.ca/board-meetings-2025-26.

This collaborative project between the SD33 Indigenous Education Department and the Imagine High Textiles class invited students to engage deeply with Coast Salish weaving traditions through making, reflection, and connection to place. Grounded in Stó꞉lō teachings of stewardship—S’ólh téméxw te íkw’elò. Xyólhmet te mekw’ stám ít kwelát (“This is our land; we have to take care of everything that belongs to us”)—the work emphasized sustainability, responsibility, and respect for living materials. Through Indigenous films, stories, hands-on textile practices, and journal reflections, students explored traditional fibres, dyeing, loom use, and histories such as the Salish woolly dog, while considering the impacts of colonization and the continuity of Indigenous knowledge. Inspired by the exhibition Li iIyá:qtset—We Transform It, students understood their work as a process of reflection, transformation, and renewal. Their final woven squares, accompanied by artist statements, came together as a collective witness blanket—expressing not only technical learning, but an evolving dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation, and a shared responsibility to carry knowledge forward with care and respect.
