Coffee Conversations for WWS members

#WWScommunity
Meet the WWS faculty and staff, and discover what makes WWS a truly unique learning environment. The session will feature a brief presentation followed by time for open conversation and questions.
October 1 – Join Grade School Principal Eleanor West to learn more about howa strong Code of Conduct is essential for fostering healthy student behaviour, interactions, and a positive learning atmosphere. While WWS has always upheld these standards, we have recently updated our Code of Conduct to ensure consistency in expectations and approaches across all grades.
November 5 – Join us to explore the financial aspects of our school operations. Independent schools in BC operate under a unique funding model, and we’ll discuss our sources of revenue, key expenses, and the crucial role that fundraising plays in sustaining our operations. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of this important aspect of WWS.
December 3 – Join Ali Blancher for a session on the Path to Graduation and the various supports available to our high school students as they prepare for life beyond WWS. Ali will cover key topics such as credit requirements, course planning, and post-secondary research and preparation. She’ll also highlight where our alumni have continued their journeys after graduation.
January 14 – Join us for a WWS parent-facilitated Coffee Conversation on “Parenting High Schoolers.” Whether you’re currently guiding a high school student or preparing for the future with younger children, this informal session is an opportunity to connect with parents who have navigated the teenage years. Gain firsthand knowledge about supporting a child through the unique social dynamics of a small school environment and learn about high school programming from a parent perspective. Bring your questions!
February 4 – Join us for this month’s coffee conversation which is a follow-up and dive into the recent parent surveys. We will unpack some of the insights and reasons as to why we need this information and how it helps guide us in future operations for the upcoming school year.
March 4 – Join us and WWS’s Board of Trustees for a Coffee Conversation on all things WWS.
