We acknowledge that for thousands of years the Malahat, Lake Cowichan, Quw'utsun, Halalt, Penelakut, Stz'uminus, & Lyackson Peoples have walked gently on the unceded territories where we now live, work, learn, and play. We seek a new relationship - based in Truth & Reconciliation.
For our tume'qun elu - dandelions - the structure, design, rhythms, and protocols of Q'shintul are full of rigour for their developing young brains.
For our xpey' elu - cedar pod -the structure, design, rhythms, and protocols of Q'shintul are fodder for their developing communication & collaboration competencies; thinking skills (critical, creative, reflective); growing agency/voice, and sense of social/community dynamics.
For our Smuqw’a’, the structure, design, rhythms, and protocols of Q'shintul were found wanting after our second year. We are in the process of asking how to provide a rich ecosystem for these brilliant, developing minds.
Using the beautiful and robust B.C. Curriculum as our guide; the Village and Natural World as our rhythms; and body, mind, heart, and spirit as our structures - we are very excited to announce the development of Qwiqwul tst tse - “Let’s Talk” - designed with adolescent development in mind.
