We are a community of learners. We recognize the individual learning needs of each student and believe in the strength of a collaborative community of learners that embrace all grades. All students are empowered to have a voice in their learning through ensuring safe and welcome environments, providing multiple entry points into learning, and exploring their interests in real life applications.
Our goal is to ensure the success of every student, every day, without exception. We do that as a body of learners by celebrating successes, embracing challenges, and building relationships with all learners within our building.
Manmeet Singh Bhullar School is a safe, caring and dynamic learning community which ensures rigorous academic learning and opportunities for all students to develop their personal talents and abilities. We encourage students to set and achieve challenging personal goals and to approach life with a “Can Do” attitude. A focus on academic inquiry, citizenship, environmental stewardship and health & wellness are at the heart of our school. The rich diversity of our students is seen as an advantage in the development of capable, self-reliant and responsible learners capable of succeeding in the 21st century global community.
School Organization
School organization is an ongoing process in the new school setting. As our numbers continue to change, school organization may change and as a result, students or teachers may be re-organized. We will be very cautious and intentional about this process. We know how valuable teacher and student relationship are and will take into account all factors if we need to adjust teaching assignments or classrooms for our students. Parents are always informed in the event their child’s teacher is changing, or that students are being re-grouped. This is more prevalent in this first year as our school population and numbers are established.

School Development Plan
Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.
