As mentioned earlier this week, the Campbell River School District will welcome trustees from across Vancouver Island this October for a two-day gathering focused on student success and collaborative advocacy.

The Vancouver Island School Trustees Association (VISTA) fall meeting will take place October 3rd and 4th at Robron Centre.

The event, tentatively titled “Pathways to Success,” will highlight student-centered learning and innovative programs offered within the district.

The gathering will include speaker sessions, breakout workshops, allowing trustees to connect, share ideas, and build stronger relationships.

One highlight that organizers are still working to finalize is a presentation by individuals raised in Campbell River who have gone on to become community leaders where they will share their personal education journeys and reflect on what helped, and what needs attention, within the public school system.

The second day of the event will focus on advocacy, which SD72 says is a top priority for trustees across the region.

The session will be intended to explore how districts can build a more unified and collaborative voice when calling for provincial support and funding.
