OUR VISION, MISSION AND VALUES
Our Vision
Socially responsible students pursuing passions for a better world.
We are committed to contributing positively to our local and global communities, environmental stewardship, and supporting the well-being, and inclusion of all people. Through the pursuit of passions, students will find their unique purpose in the world.
Our Mission
To inspire and support young people for meaningful lives.
Collingwood’s personalized and inclusive approach fosters academic excellence and well-being as our students explore opportunities across the four strands--academics, athletics, arts and service learning. We value experiential learning, collaboration, character development, and problem solving across disciplines. Our graduates will join the global community as critical thinkers who are resilient, socially conscious and prepared to make the most of their opportunities.
Our Values
We live our values of courage, curiosity and community to be in service of others:
Courage
To be a leader, one must have courage. This is how we build integrity, confidence, resilience and respect for self and others.
Stepping forward or speaking out to create an environment that values the uniqueness of others, takes courage.
Our graduates will use their courage as they rise to meet challenges throughout their lives and seek to make a better future for the world.
Curiosity
Curiosity drives passion for life-long learning. This passion, in turn, drives innovation and collaboration.
To inspire curiosity, we push beyond the core curriculum to ensure our students are engaged in an education that is transformative.
Community
In our community, inclusion is a belief and approach where our students, families, alumni, faculty and staff, work together to feel a sense of belonging.
The diversity of our family is a strength. Inclusivity is a community-wide effort and we value listening, patience, and empathy.
We express our belief in community mindedness through our commitment to leadership, respect for one another, and service to others, both locally and globally.
EDI Commitment
At Collingwood School, we aim to foster an inclusive and equitable environment that embraces diversity. Through education and courage, we are committed to cultivating a pluralistic environment as we work together to remove barriers so that every person feels welcomed, understood and valued.
You can make a difference!
Equity acknowledges that everyone has different needs, experiences, and opportunities. In an equitable environment, we give people what they need as individuals to elevate everyone to an equal playing field and within Collingwood school, we are looking to further that exact concept. Through this recent covid-19 pandemic many families were affected who did not have the same help and resources to be able to get through this struggling time. This creates the objective of this partnership between Collingwood school and the harvest project to hopefully make a difference in these people's lives.
Learning and helping our community together
North Shore schools are important partners in Harvest Project’s work, as students and their families join with us to ‘extend a hand up’ while gaining ‘up-close’ knowledge about the vulnerable place some of our neighbors find themselves in.
A local legacy | A different sort of struggle | Creating a community safety net |  |  |  | Since its beginning, Harvest Project has been embedded on the North Shore - delivering life-saving help to people facing challenges, thanks to support from across the community. Since 1993! | COVID-19 disturbed our traditional avenues of operation and support. Our monthly coaching sessions moved from a face to face appointment to phone appointment. We are now again having face to face client care appointment in our building In March 2020, our physical in house grocery support program was switched to a Grocery Gift card support giving families access to fresh and healthy groceries in grocery stores, local independent markets and stores. We have now re-activating the physical Grocery shop for our Core clients in October 2021. Our addition of a Certified Nutritionist help us to create a Nutrition Support Pathway to help our clients access healthier and nutritious food. Clothes For Changes store is re-activated with a one on one appointment for all clients committed to move forward with the help of our Core Program coaches. | Together with schools, individuals, small businesses and corporate partners we are knitting an emergency safety net that catches and help individuals and families facing life challenges right here in the North Shore from Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay. |
