SD8 students from kindergarten to grade 12 as well as families and staff are one month into the school year and settling into the rhythm of a new season, new classrooms, new and returning classmates and so much energy and enthusiasm as thousands of learning journeys are underway.

Hello families, 

Welcome back from the weekend! I hope you had a great weekend. It looks like we still have some beautiful summer-ish weather ahead of us this week. Please remind your children that the mornings are still cool and they will need a hoodie. Also, to ensure they bring their sweaters in as they peel them off on the playground!

Hello families, 

Welcome back from the weekend! I hope you enjoyed the beautiful waning summer weather (despite the rain on Saturday!) and being together as a family. Last week was a great week of learning as classrooms built classroom culture, learned about each other and got settled into their learning routines. 

South Nelson students participated in the Terry Fox Run on Friday, Sept. 13. 

Hello families, 

A warm welcome to the 2024-2025 school year. 

On September 3, about 4,700 children will leave home in the morning excited to see their friends, full of anticipation and maybe even some apprehension about beginning a new year, a new classroom, or a new school. 

Dear Parents, 

South Nelson students and staff celebrated the end of the school year with an Olympic themed FUN day! There were 12 countries to visit with unique physical challenges at each one. Multi-aged groups travelled between the stations to work together to show off their athletic prowess and team work.

Hello Families, 

Only a few days left of the 2023-24 school year. What a great year it has been. I have truly enjoyed being part of the South Nelson community this year and have felt so welcomed by all students, staff and parents. Thank you! I look forward to continuing the good work with you all next year.
