Core Values and Beliefs
As a school district we believe that:







• Students and their learning are our prime focus.
• The pursuit of both excellence and participation are worthy of our attention and support.
• To nurture creativity and innovation is to motivate and encourage commitment to learning.
• Joy and fun, and satisfaction and celebration are essential to learning.
• Pride in accomplishment of self, school, district and others is essential to our wellbeing (culture).
• Our relationships with each other need to be caring and respectful.
• To improve and grow, the students and staff need to review and reflect on the outcomes of learning and work.
• Everyone is responsible for working cooperatively and collaboratively with each other.
• It is important to approach all problems and issues with a positive “can do” attitude.
• We need to build on the strengths of students and staff.





Principles we value:
At the North Okanagan Shuswap School District, we care about the people who work for us and we do all we can to make sure we have a safe, healthy, productive and equitable work environment. We are committed to treating all individuals with respect and dignity. It is every single person’s responsibility to achieve and maintain a positive and progressive learning and working climate. We welcome each person’s individual contribution.
