Registration is now open for BCPVPA Foundations: The Next Generation of Short Course I. In conjunction with the UBC Faculty of Education, we are excited to offer Foundations in person on the UBC campus in July 2022, respecting any health and safety protocols that may be in place at that time. The full-day sessions on July 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will be framed around the BCPVPA Leadership Standards for Principals and Vice-Principals in BC, with the overarching theme of ‘Equity’.

Each year, the BCPVPA awards scholarships to up to 20 students who are graduating from the BC public school system and proceeding to post-secondary education. The successful applicants will be awarded a scholarship in the amount of $1,000 each. This year, we are excited to offer this opportunity in the spring, in order to align with graduation and other scholarship application timelines.

• Up to 10 scholarships are reserved for the children of BCPVPA members.
• Up to 10 scholarships are awarded to other graduating students.
• Up to 2 scholarships will be awarded to Indigenous students.

Please encourage any potential applicants to apply by May 2, 2022. All applications will be submitted electronically by email to Member Support Services.

BCCHF: Jean Up Day in May
BC Children’s Hospital is hoping that you and your school community will support the Jean Up Fundraiser. It’s a chance for students to come together and wear jeans to show what they stand for—helping sick and injured kids get out of their hospital gowns and back into their own jeans.

Thriving in Education
Continued analysis of the BCPVPA Thriving in Education survey reveals patterns of stress for BC school leaders. Rochelle Morandini discusses what we can control and influence, what can help us thrive, and where the foundations need to be strengthened.

We look forward to seeing you at Coffee Connections, hosted by BCPVPA President Darren Danyluk and senior staff. Find the link to register for all spring sessions under Member News > Hot Notes in the Member Portal. Register for all sessions, and attend when you can!
