Welcome to Lake Cowichan School
Principal & Vice Principal’s Message
Welcome to Lake Cowichan School – a place to learn, form friendships, and have fun. Staff and students at Lake Cowichan School work, learn, and play each day on the unceded territory of the Ts’uubaa-asatx Nation. Our amazing staff works hard to provide challenging academic programs, extensive opportunities for students in the arts, tech and community service, and to continue a strong commitment to excellence. We strive to honour the traditions of the past all the while creating innovations for the future. We encourage students to take advantage of these opportunities and we will do everything we can to help students be successful.
Together students are learning, discovering, taking risks and developing life-long friendships in an environment that is safe, caring, supportive and responsive. To help with this, the school encourages parents and guardians to be supportive of the school’s policies and encourages parental involvement as needed and as appropriate.
