SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 23 CULTURAL PROGRAM
*See below for a request form with a list of cultural programs offered.*
*Cultural Programming for teaching staff in the Central Okanagan School District only*
We are revamping our program to better fit teachers and the redesigned curriculum. In 2018-2019, teachers in the Central Okanagan Public School District will be provided opportunities to take ownership of Indigenous learning in the classroom. This will mean that there will be less presentations by Program staff, but more resources for educators in our District.
Aboriginal Cultural Events Cost Sharing Aboriginal targeted dollars will be shared with the district to provide classroom cultural presentations and whole school cultural performances.
There will be an allotting 5 classroom presentations per school, or/ one whole school presentation. This is on a first come first serve basis. Please discuss with your staff the most advantageous use of your dollars and contact us as early as possible.
If a school requests more than the 5 presentations, the school will be charged in full for any additional presentations.
All payment goes through the SD 23 Finance Department and your accounts will be automatically debited at months end. A copy of the summary will be mailed to your school.
