Student Life - Where You Belong

GO TEAM

SHOREHAM students experience a safe, engaging and provocative learning space, led by powerful professional educators and child development experts. At SHOREHAM, we recognize that some of us walk a healing path fraught with obstacles and pain, and our training and reflection has taught us to reject immediate judgement in favour of learning, listening, bringing empathy to bear, and working collaboratively to build and repair relationships. We are genuinely happy to see every student and parent walk through the entry door each morning, and we TELL them so. At SHOREHAM, relationships and trust are the building blocks of student success and well-being.

WHAT SETS US APART

As you approach SHOREHAM school from the intersection of Shoreham Drive and Jane St, you immediately notice the brilliant sunshine mural proclaiming, “There is something special going on here!” This mural gently points to a literal pathway to the entry point of the school, but also guides the community inside to a welcoming space, a space where children and adults alike bring value and experience and a unique voice. Upon arrival at SHOREHAM, you immediately sense that this is OUR school, and hopefully feel invited and motivated to contribute to this shared collaborative learning space. Welcome to SHOREHAM everyone.

PARENT AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The diverse voices of SHOREHAM community members are always welcome here, whether through school council discussions, community surveys, letters/emails, or just hallways chats and dialogues. Administration has an open door policy for parents and guardians, and admin and teaching staff can also be found outside and available to talk daily at entry and dismissal.
