Dear Parents/Guardians,

On behalf of the staff, we would like to extend a warm welcome to our students and parents as we begin our 2022-2023 school year at David Suzuki!  The start of the school year is exciting in part because of the potential it holds and the promise it represents for everyone connected to the school.

Our Board’s renewed Mission is “To advance student achievement and well-being through public education, which motivates learners, fosters inclusion, inspires innovation and builds community” and our Vision is to “empower all students to become engaged and caring citizens of the world.”  The staff at David Suzuki embraces the Board’s Mission and Vision and we will strive to diligently to uphold them as we work with our students. Our Board also operates based on a core set of values that guide our actions and we, at David Suzuki, will work hard to impart these values to the students, explicitly teaching them character traits such as respect, responsibility, honesty, perseverance, empathy, courage, initiative, integrity, fairness and optimism. 

In addition to a rigorous and engaging academic program, we hope to provide a variety of other learning experiences for our students.  Our commitment to caring for the environment is a theme that will be interlaced with all that we do.  We encourage every student at David Suzuki to work hard, take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities that the school has to offer, continue to develop environmental responsibility as well as social responsibility, and be the best they can be!

We invite you, Parents and Guardians, to work in partnership with us so that our children will be well supported in reaching their full potential!

Have a wonderful year!

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Lue-Kim                   Ryan Gobin
Principal                                   Vice Principal
