Lessons Learned
Our BCPVPA Member Support Services team has compiled many of the challenging lessons that school leaders have learned when facing complaints and investigations. Our MSS team is always there to give support to members when difficult situations arise. 

Here is an example of the impact community partners can make in a school and/or district. Each week we will be shining a spotlight on a past recipient of the BCPVPA Partnership Award. 

This week: Vancouver Island Counselling Centre for Immigrants and Refugees (Nominated by SD 63, Saanich)

Since being founded in 2015, VICCIR has helped immigrant and refugee families and students to work through trauma and create a sense of belonging in their new community, country, and culture through face-to-face and virtual counselling, adolescent male groups, and parenting sessions in a multitude of languages.  

Who has gone the extra mile to support your school community? BCPVPA Chapters are invited to nominate individuals, organizations, and businesses who contribute their time, expertise, and passion to make a difference in the lives of BC students. Community partners bring special opportunities and services to schools – now is the time to celebrate all that they do. 

This year, it is even easier to nominate a community partner. You can fill in the online form or follow the instructions on our Member Portal to email your nomination. If you have any questions, email erin@bcpvpa.bc.ca.
