Short, Sweet AGM
A Year of Rich Learning Experiences Over cookies and tea, we heard about the incredible array of events, cultural and outdoor adventure outings, and individual and community accomplishments that Island Oak students engaged in last year. And we got a glimpse of a similarly rich year of learning experiences ahead.
Balanced Operating Budget A balanced operating budget was presented and accepted.
BC Dogwood Diploma AND Waldorf Education: How Do They Balance? We heard about the way Island Oak meets and exceeds Ministry standards so that students have maximum choices after graduating, and are equipped to go on to the post-secondary institution of their choice. We heard about a track record of honours high school diplomas and high grades on Ministry exams. And we learned how Island Oak High School manages to deliver the valued B.C. Dogwood diploma and do it well, without sacrificing Waldorf philosophy in its curriculum and teaching methods. The first Waldorf school in Stuttgart, Germany balanced state requirements with Waldorf philosophy, and we continue to do so here in the service of our students.
