We are more effective when we work collaboratively and seamlessly to support student needs. We are ALL responsible for working together for the success of ALL students. Improving communication and access to common information, establishing effective instructional and support teams, and focusing on wrapping around and strengthening the core relationship of teacher-student-families will improve student success.
We have developed a Framework for Collective Responsibility that will help guide the work we do from creating, implementing and monitoring School Plans for Learner Success, Local Education Agreements with First Nation communities, Individual Education Plans (IEP), and interventions by School-Based Teams (SBT). Common district assessments, with results made available in a timely and user-friendly format, support collaborative learning conversations by teams. Collective responsibility is a theme that emerges across all the other focus areas as we all do our parts toward common goals. Examples of this work include:
- Focus for the current year on walking together
- Collective Responsibility Framework
- New district data warehouse and information management system
- Strengthened school-based team (SBT) processes
- More opportunities for cross-school collaboration

Lake City Secondary
Peter Skene Ogden Secondary
Columneetza Junior Secondary
<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Grade 12 students in CCSD27 can jump-start their trades career through the Thompson Rivers University Dual Credit Program! This unique opportunity lets students earn both high school graduation credits and post-secondary credits while completing a foundation year in one of four trades: Residential Carpentry, Heavy Duty Technician, Welding, or Residential Electrical. Tuition is covered through partnerships, with students only responsible for fees, books, and tools. Seats are competitive, so interested students should connect with their school’s Career Education Department early—typically in Grade 10—to begin the application process.</span></p><table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/8cb46609-9f42-4ce8-8776-70ea68417070?fingerprint=ppb20251217034956" alt="High School Students Jump Start Their Trades Career1 Kelvin Parent" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/ce2122f5-b3f5-45bf-a203-0ed7cc9c3855?fingerprint=ppb20251217040255" alt="High School Students Jump Start Their Trades Career2 Kelvin Parent" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Gr 8 students and their families were hosted at PSO the week before school started. PSO staff were so excited to welcome new grade 8 students and their families. Students engaged in cooperative games to meet their new peers, toured the school with their families, and enjoyed a BBQ lunch. Gr 7 principals and teachers were on hand to assist with transitions. We hope this helped start our new PSO students in a good way!</span></p><table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/fd05e2cc-4741-4ce4-8d87-52ab474bb2d3?fingerprint=ppb20260127225605" alt="PSOGr8 caitlin currie" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/8806e7fa-bb2d-45c0-9ff1-a6a3f2b6a04c?fingerprint=ppb20260127225606" alt="PSOgr82 caitlin currie" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
Kindies, Cupcakes, and Collaboration
100 Mile Elementary
Peter Skene Ogden Secondary
<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A collaboration between kindergarten and grade 12 students exemplifies collective responsibility by fostering a shared commitment to the educational growth of all participants. Mrs. Varney and Mr. Kline provided this opportunity through an afternoon of making cupcakes, where older students mentored younger ones, promoting accountability and leadership skills. This joint activity encouraged collaboration, allowing students to learn from each other’s diverse perspectives. The interaction not only enhanced social and emotional development but also created a rich environment for exchanging knowledge and experiences. Ultimately, this approach emphasizes that the success of one student is interconnected with the success of all, highlighting the importance of community in education.</span></p><div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/e1864ffa-3856-58f7-bc36-17f0d32e867b?fingerprint=ppb20251217040405" alt="civf3co7.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/e164b95f-aeaf-5677-89f8-5c50a249c17e?fingerprint=ppb20251217040405" alt="08i4rusc.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>
