Hatzic Secondary School
Aboriginal Program
We have found that underlying the success of aboriginal students at Hatzic
is the building of strong relationships between home and school. We work diligently to maintain positive communication with our aboriginal families and encourage their participation in their child’s education. The Aboriginal Program continues to adapt itself to the needs of our students. Our focus is improvement in academic success and attendance. We strive to meet the cultural needs of each of our students on an individual basis through connections with community leaders and elders.
Academic success is enhanced by honouring the students who have made improvements and identifying those who need extra support. Through consultation with students as well as parents, we make an effort to understand problems and find solutions.
All of our aboriginal students are personally seen throughout the year to discuss their programs and give support or advice where needed. Our interventions also include advocating with community agencies, mediating with family or friends, transportation, providing food as well as counseling.
