Dawson Creek Secondary (Central Campus)

Inspiring the Future: Make Your Voice Heard

School District 59 is one of a group of local organizations working alongside the City of Dawson Creek Mayor's Office as part of a Youth Round Table. The focus of this group is to spread more information about programs and services available for youth in our community. The group is looking for input from children and youth in Dawson Creek through a quick online survey. The information collected in this survey will be used to guide the decisions of this specific group moving forward.

Please take some time and have your child/youth answer 4 quick questions about their interests and where they access information about activities in Dawson Creek (or answer the questions with your child depending on age). The survey is for children/youth from ages 6-19.

The survey is now open! It will remain open until April 23rd. Survey link: https://survey.alchemer-ca.com/s3/50250472/Inspiring-the-Future-Make-Your-Voice-Heard

April Newsletter

Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s),

 I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. As the weather is getting nicer, we are starting to notice more students returning late from lunch. This causes disruptions in learning for our students. If you could please chat with your child(ren) about the importance of being on time, it would be appreciated. 

 We have also been asked that students do not enter some of our local businesses during school hours. They are ok to be there at lunch, but not during class time. Students in some cases may be asked to leave places if they are there during class time without an adult present.

Safer Schools Together

In partnership with The Ministry of Education and Childcare’s erase strategy, due to high demand, Safer Schools Together is offering additional “Social Media Awareness” Family Sessions on March 26th, April 10th and April 16th. All sessions will take place in the evenings via zoom from 6:30 - 7:30 pm (PST). 

The session covers all things digital, from how to be a good digital citizen, the criminal consequences of cyberbullying, and how to report and receive support in cases of sexting/sextortion. Some of the most prominent concerns currently surrounding use of social media platforms, smartphones, and artificial intelligence will be discussed.

Students will learn:

  • Digital media habits, oversharing, and digital addiction
  • The permanence of online posts/activity
  • The significance of your digital tattoo in how others perceive you (e.g., sports teams, college admissions, and potential employers)
  • The importance of caring for peers both online and offline
  • Geo-locational settings and the dangers of social media and cell phone misuse
  • The social and legal consequences of cyberbullying behaviour as well as possession and distribution of intimate images (sexting and sextortion)
  • An anonymous student reporting tool that can help you and your friends stay safe both online and offline

The 60 minute session will be held virtually via zoom. To register for a session please click on the registration link below.
